The motherboard uses Intel’s CM236 Platform Control Hub and soldered on-board Intel Xeon E3-1505L v5 processor.

The ITX-i89H0 comes with two DDR4 SO-DIMM sockets that support ECC memory with two DisplayPort connectors, one eDP and one HDMI.

Comms interfaces include a Gigabit PHY Ethernet, one serial port for RS232 operation, one LPC for connection interface, two NGFF (M.2) connectors with one M-keyed and the other E-keyed for SSD and Wireless radio support, and two SATA gen 3.0 ports.

Expansion cards can be used with the onboard PCI-E(x16) slot.

A total of 10 USB 2.0 ports and six USB 3.0 SuperSpeed ports are supported with High Definition Audio providing MIC-in & Line-out interfaces.

The format provides improved CPU, media and graphics performance as well as energy efficiency making it suitable for intelligent platforms used for gaming, infotainment, security, automation and digital signage applications.

Moreover, it is embedded with Intel vPro technology, which provides a comprehensive set of security and manageability features. The board is a little late as we were expecting it in September.
