A compact Micro ATX board with an integrated Intel N100 quad-core up to 3.4 GHz, one DDR4 slot for 32 GB, PCIe 3.0 x16 running at x2, one M.2 Key M Gen3x2, 2 SATA3, HDMI, DisplayPort 1.4, D-Sub.
The board integrates an Intel Quad-Core Processor N100 running up to 3.4 GHz with Turbo Boost, so no separate CPU purchase is needed. Memory is limited to one DDR4 DIMM slot supporting up to 32 GB at 3200 MT/s, with ECC UDIMM modules accepted in non-ECC mode. This makes it a compact, low-power foundation for basic desktop or appliance workloads.
The single memory slot and x2 electrical PCIe 3.0 x16 slot suit simple productivity PCs, digital-signage players or thin clients where space and power draw matter. Builders needing dual-channel memory, full x16 graphics bandwidth, multiple M.2 drives or more than two SATA ports should choose a standard socketed platform instead.
Only a single DDR4 module can be installed, so the absolute ceiling is 32 GB regardless of module density. If the intended workload requires 64 GB or benefits from dual-channel bandwidth, this board cannot meet that requirement.

The board uses the standard Micro ATX screw pattern and measures 22.6 cm wide by 17.8 cm deep, so any chassis with Micro ATX standoffs and at least that much tray area will fit.
Align the notch on the module with the key in the slot, press down firmly until both side clips click shut, and verify the stick sits perfectly vertical; a tilted module will not post.
Monitor SMART health periodically; replace the drive if reallocated sectors rise, sustained write speeds drop sharply, or the UEFI no longer detects it as a boot device.
