AIMB-U217 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
AIMB-U217 is the newest UTX small form factor motherboard equipped with Intel®
Atom® Quad Core 1.6 GHz x7-E3950/x5-E3940 processors and DDR3L 1866 MHz
up to 8GB. The palm-sized industrial motherboard measures 137 x 112mm and offers
fast graphics and media performance to support triple display by HDMI1.4b,
DP++1.2, eDP1.3 (or LVDS), up to 3 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports offering high-
speed networking, and flexibility on storage eMMC is supported.
AIMB-U217 offers high speed, multiple I/O connectivity and expansion, including four
USB3.0, optional 1 CANBus, 4 COMs (2 RS-232, 2 RS-232/422/485), 1 SATAIII 6
GB/s connector, 1 M.2 (E-Key for 2230 module type) expansion slots for easy inte-
gration, and 1 Full-Sized MiniPCIe (with mSATA supported) expansion and an
optional TPM2.0 or TPM1.2 security feature.
Moreover, AIMB-U217 supports the wide range 12-24V DC power input, and
extended operating temperatures of -20 to 70
°
C with a compliant and flexible ther-
mal solution design. The thermal design power rating for the Intel x5-E3940 quad-
core architecture is only 9.5 W, and for Atom x7-E3950 quad-core it is 12 W, allowing
additional power reductions and system compressions.
All the features described above are incorporated into a space-saving, power-effi-
cient, and cost-effective UTX small form factor.
