Introduction
The AIMB-217 with Intel Pentium N4200, Celeron N3350, and Atom x7-E3950 pro-
cessor is designed for industrial applications that require enhanced computing perfor-
mance and power management capabilities. The motherboard features an onboard
Intel® Pentium™ N4200 quad-core 1.1 GHz and Celeron N3350 dual-core 1.1 GHz
and Atom x7-E3950 quad-core 1.6 GHz with DDR3L 1866 MHz up to 8GB.
The AIMB-217 offers rich I/O connectivity with four USB 3.0 and eight USB 2.0 ports
(USB9/10/11/12 is BOM optional), as well as six COM ports integrated in a standard
170 x 170 mm form factor. The system also supports triple display for HDMI, VGA (or
eDP), DP++ (or LVDS). AIMB-217 also features numerous connectivity and expan-
sion options, including PCIe x1, 8-bit GPIO, two SATA III 6 GB/s connectors, an
optional TPM security feature, and one MiniPCIe (with mSATA support) and one M.2
(E key for 2230 type) expansion slots for easy integration. A dual Realtek chipset and
10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port are also provided to deliver high-speed networking.
AIMB-217 is powered by the newest Intel® Pentium/Celeron/Atom processor, which
is built on 14nm process technology. The thermal design power rating for the Intel
N4200 quad-core/N3350 dual-core architecture is only 6 W, and that for Atom x7-
E3950 quad-core is 12 W, allowing additional power reductions, system compres-
sions, and performance improvements to be implemented in the future. All the fea-
tures described above are incorporated into a space-saving, power-efficient, and
cost-effective Mini-ITX form factor.
