Axiomtek Co., Ltd. today is pleased to introduce MANO800, our new Mini ITX motherboard based on the Intel® Q57 PCH and designed to support the latest Intel® Core™ i7, Core™ i5, Core™ i3 and Pentium® processors in the LGA1156 socket. Two DIMM sockets onboard support up to 8GB of DDR3 1066/1333 memory. The space-saving motherboard integrates four SATA 3.0Gb/s ports with RAID support for better data protection. Meanwhile, the MANO800 comes with one PCIe x4 expansion slot that allows developers to configure multi-port SATA RAID card or capture card. Axiomtek’s MANO800 achieves both high performance and small form factor design to meet the needs of NVR, DVR, automation, and visual inspection instrument applications.

“With the latest generation of Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 processors, Axiomtek’s MANO800 is able to deliver greater energy efficiency and performance capability in a Mini ITX platform with no compromises. This industrial grade Mini ITX motherboard is an excellent solution for NVR and DVR because it has a total of four SATA ports with RAID support and one PCIe x 4 slot. This motherboard performs excellent graphics capability via its integrated Intel® HD Graphics core, saving the expense and thermal design effort of an add-on graphics card. Beside, the MANO800 comes with VGA and DVI-D, which sufficiently satisfies customers' requirement for multiple displays," said Gary Tsao, Product Manager of Embedded Board and Technology Business Unit at Axiomtek.

The MANO800 has powerful storage interfaces including four serial ATA ports integrated RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 function with transfer rates up to 3Gb/s and a CompactFlash™ socket or new CFast socket (SATA interface). Other significant I/O features include ten USB 2.0 ports, two COM ports (RS-232 & RS-232/422/485), two Gigabit LANs, 8-channel digital I/O, HD audio, and PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports. Additionally, the MANO800 provides reliable operation and non-stop capability with watchdog timer, as well as SMART FAN function controlling the fan speed to keep temperature within a specified range. Besides, Windows® 7, Windows® Vista, Windows® XP embedded, and Linux are all supported.
