This month ASUS has unveiled three new additions to its range of mini PC motherboards, announcing the imminent availability of three new fanless New Apollo Lake-powered Thin mini-ITX motherboards. Created specifically for industrial applications, the new machines take the form of the N4200T-IM-A, which features a 6W Pentium N4200, the N3350T-IM-A featuring a 6W Celeron N3350T, and the J3455T-IM-A featuring a 10W Celeron J3455.
Key Specifications and Features
All boards offer users two SO-DIMM slots, an mSATA SSD slot, four USB 3.2 ports, VGA, HDMI, DisplayPort, and two Ethernet ports (Realtek). These features make the motherboards highly versatile for various industrial applications. The inclusion of multiple display interfaces such as HDMI, VGA, and DisplayPort allows for flexible display configurations, which is crucial for industrial monitoring and control systems.
Still no Jasper Lake in sight, but do stay tuned for updates. The absence of Jasper Lake processors might be a point of contention for some users, but the current offerings still provide robust performance for many industrial tasks.
Features of the new mini-ITX motherboards include :
– Fanless mini-ITX Industrial MB with Intel Celeron N4200 processor
– Supports 3 displays configuration by multiple interface: HDMI/ VGA(colay with DP) /LVDS(colay with eDP)
– 7 years of longevity with extended product life cycles
– Advanced I/O and connectivity features
– Wide temperature range endurance: 0–60°C
Applications and Use Cases
These motherboards are designed for a variety of industrial applications. The fanless design is particularly beneficial in environments where dust and debris are prevalent, as it reduces the risk of hardware failure due to clogging. The wide temperature range endurance (0–60°C) ensures that these motherboards can operate reliably in harsh conditions, making them suitable for outdoor installations or factories with extreme temperatures.
The advanced I/O and connectivity features make these motherboards ideal for use in automation systems, digital signage, and other embedded applications. For instance, the dual Ethernet ports can be used for network redundancy, ensuring continuous operation even if one network connection fails. The multiple USB 3.2 ports allow for the connection of various peripherals, such as sensors, cameras, and other input devices, which are often required in industrial settings.
The support for three displays is another significant advantage. In control rooms, for example, operators can monitor multiple systems simultaneously, improving efficiency and response times. The longevity of these motherboards, with a product life cycle of up to 7 years, ensures that businesses can rely on them for long-term projects without worrying about frequent replacements.
