What processors does the EMX-MTLP support?

The EMX-MTLP supports Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 125U (15W) & 125H (28W) BGA processors.

How much memory can the EMX-MTLP handle?

It supports up to 64GB DDR5 5600MHz SO-DIMM memory.

What are the display capabilities?

It supports up to six display outputs (2 x DP, 2 x HDMI, LVDS, eDP) for quadruple independent displays.

What expansion options are available?

The board offers PCIe x4 Gen4, 2 x M.2 Type M, 1 x M.2 Type B, and 1 x M.2 Type E slots.

What is the power input for the EMX-MTLP?

It supports DC input of +12V to +24V.

What are Mini-ITX motherboards and what are their typical applications?

Mini-ITX motherboards are compact embedded boards measuring 170mm x 170mm. They are widely used in industrial automation, digital signage, kiosks, medical devices, edge computing, and embedded control systems due to their small size, rich I/O, and industrial-grade reliability.

What are the advantages of using Mini-ITX over other form factors?

Mini-ITX offers a balance of compact size and expandability, with support for full-size memory, multiple display outputs, and rich I/O. Compared to smaller boards, they provide better thermal management and more expansion options, while being smaller than ATX or microATX boards.

How do processor generations affect Mini-ITX board capabilities?

Newer processor generations bring improved performance, power efficiency, and support for advanced features like DDR5 memory, PCIe Gen4, and AI acceleration. The choice of processor impacts computing power, graphics, and connectivity options for Mini-ITX boards.

What factors should be considered when selecting a Mini-ITX board for industrial use?

Consider CPU performance, memory and storage support, I/O requirements (USB, COM, LAN, display), expansion slots (M.2, PCIe), power input range, operating temperature, certifications, and long-term availability for your application.

How can I effectively cool a Mini-ITX motherboard in an enclosed system?

Ensure adequate airflow (at least 0.5 m/s), use heatsinks or thermal pads, and consider fanless enclosures with external fins. Arrange components for natural convection and monitor system temperatures using onboard sensors.

What are the power considerations for Mini-ITX boards?

Provide stable DC input within the specified range (often +12V~24V), use quality power supplies, and understand AT/ATX power modes. Implement surge protection and proper power sequencing for industrial reliability.

How can I expand the functionality of a Mini-ITX board?

Use M.2 slots for Wi-Fi, LTE, or SSDs; PCIe slots for add-on cards; and USB or GPIO for peripherals. Many boards support multiple displays, additional storage, and network expansion through these interfaces.

What are common performance bottlenecks in Mini-ITX systems?

Thermal limits, memory bandwidth, storage I/O, and network congestion are typical bottlenecks. Use fast memory, NVMe SSDs, and ensure proper cooling and network design to maximize performance.

What is the recommended mounting procedure for Mini-ITX boards?

Use all four mounting holes with standoffs, maintain clearance above heat-generating components, and ensure proper thermal contact if using conduction cooling. Secure cables and avoid sources of EMI.

How should I handle and install Mini-ITX boards to prevent damage?

Use ESD protection, handle by the edges, avoid flexing the PCB, and ensure power is off when connecting components. Use correct torque for screws and avoid moisture or contaminants.

What are best practices for connecting peripherals to Mini-ITX boards?

Use shielded cables, implement strain relief, connect power before signal cables, and avoid exceeding cable length limits. Configure serial ports and test peripherals individually before full deployment.

How can I set up operating systems on Mini-ITX boards?

Use manufacturer-recommended OS images, configure BIOS/UEFI settings, install all drivers, and optimize system services for your application. Document the setup for future maintenance.

What should I do if a Mini-ITX board fails to power on?

Check power supply voltage and polarity, inspect cables and connectors, verify power mode (AT/ATX), and look for physical damage. Test with a known-good supply and check for status LEDs or error codes.

How can I resolve display output problems on Mini-ITX boards?

Check cable connections, monitor input selection, and supported resolutions. Try different display interfaces, update drivers, reset BIOS display settings, and test with another monitor.

What are common causes of network issues and how can they be resolved?

Check physical connections, update network drivers, verify IP configuration, and check for firewall or switch issues. Test with alternate cables and equipment if needed.

How can I troubleshoot M.2 or storage device issues?

Ensure the device is properly inserted, matches the slot type, and is recognized in BIOS. Update BIOS and drivers, check for thermal issues, and test the device in another system if possible.
