Mini-ITX (170 mm x 170 mm / 6.70" x 6.70") 3.3. Environmental Conditions The mITX-KBL-S is compliant with the following environmental conditions. It is the customer's responsibility to provide sufficient airflow around each of the components to keep them within the allowed temperature range.
ICES-003 Issue 6: 2016 Class A 3.5. Processor Support The mITX-KBL-S is designed to support the following processors which are connected to a discrete Intel® H110 or Q170 Chipset Platform Controller Hub on the motherboard. Intel® Core i7, i5, i3 processors (FCLGA1151 Socket, TDP up to 95 W) Sufficient cooling must be applied to the CPU in order to remove the effect defined as TDP (Thermal Design Power).
Memory modules have in general a much lower longevity than embedded motherboards, and therefore EOL of modules can be expected several times during lifetime of the motherboard. As a minimum it is recommend using Kontron memory modules for prototype system(s) in order to prove stability of the system and as for reference.
