Mini-ITX Form Factor
Intel®Desktop Board
D2500HN Innovation Series
Intel Desktop Board D2500HN is ideal for
diskless usage model by integrating the
USB Solid-State Drive inside the chassis.
The Intel Desktop Board D2500HN is a
mini-ITX form factor board. Backward-com-
patible with ATX and microATX, this form
factor allows you to build green, energy-
efcient, small form factor solutions. This
board offers simple, affordable, Internet-
centric computer designs in a compact
170mm x 170mm size—perfect for a cool
system with a small form factor chassis.
Available at an affordable price, the Intel
Desktop Board D2500HN is ideal for inno-
vative small form factor systems for basic
computing and thin-client systems.
board provides exibility and upgradability
with two single-channel SODIMM connec-
tors for DDR3 1066 / 800 MHz memory
support (4 GB1max). The use of SODIMM
memory modules delivers greater perfor-
mance and power efciency. The revolu-
tionary two-chip layout continues to enable
lower power consumption and saves 70
percent of its board layout size. This results
in a board that has better heat ow with
the passive thermal solution.
The Intel Desktop Board D2500HN provides
enhanced features such as 10/100/1000
Mb/s integrated LAN, integrated four-
channel Intel® High Denition Audio2, and
support for legacy features for emerging
market needs, including a PS/2 port, serial
port, and parallel port. Supporting a USB
Solid-State Drive keep-out zone design, the

1 System resources and hardware (such as PCI and PCI Express*) require physical memory address locations that can reduce available addressable system memory. This could result in a reduction of as much
as 1 GB or more of physical addressable memory being available to the operating system and applications, depending on the system conguration and operating system.
2 Intel® High Denition Audio requires a system with an appropriate Intel® chipset and a motherboard with an appropriate codec and the necessary drivers installed. System sound quality will vary depending
on actual implementation, controller, codec, drivers, and speakers. For more information about Intel® HD Audio, refer to www.intel.com/design/chipsets/hdaudio.htm
