1.6Functional Description
Processor Support
The MI-220 is a Mini-ITX embedded board featuring the 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processor family (Intel® Core™i7/i5/i3) in
rPGA988B package. An integrated memory controller supports
dual channel 1066/1333 MHz DDR3 and Intel® HD Graphics is
integrated onboard the CPU. The CPU provides a PCI Express
x16 slot for external graphics or expansion. Direct Media Interface
(DMI) and Flexible Display Interface (FDI) provide connectivity to
the Mobile Intel® QM67 Express Chipset.
Mobile Intel® QM67 Express Chipset
The Intel® BD82QM67 Platform Controller Hub (PCH) combine
with the processor to provide a compact yet powerful 2-chip solution. Direct Media Interface (DMI) is the chip-to-chip connection
between the processor and PCH. Intel® Flexible Display Interface
carries display traffic from the integrated graphics on the processor to the legacy display interfaces on the PCH. The PCH supports all other required interfaces including PCI Express, SATA 6
Gb/s, USB 2.0, LPC, and SPI.
Dual-Channel DDR3 Memory
To meet the requirements of memory-intensive applications, the
MI-220 has a dual-channel memory architecture supporting DDR3
1066/1333 MHz SO-DIMMs. The key advantages of DDR3 are
higher bandwidth and increased performance at lower power than
DDR2. DDR3 memory technology meets the requirements of the
latest 3D graphics, multimedia and network applications, and
boosts system performance by eliminating bottlenecks.
Gigabit Ethernet
The MI-220 utilizes an Intel® 82579LM Gigabit Ethernet PHY and
Intel® 82574L Gigabit Ethernet Controller connected to the PCIe
bus of the QM67 PCH. Intel® AMT 7.0 (82579LM on LAN1),
Wake-on-LAN and PXE are supported.
6Introduction
Page 19
MI-220
Serial ATA
The MI-220 provides three SATA ports with data transfer rates of
up to 6.0 GB/s on 2 ports and up to 3.0 GB/s on 1 port. Intel®
Rapid Storage Technology supports AHCI and RAID 0/1/5/10
functionality.
USB 2.0
The MI-220 provides 6 USB 2.0 ports supporting transfer rates up
to 480 Mb/s. All ports are USB 1.1 compatible.
Hardware Monitoring
A built-in, proactive hardware monitoring system in the Super I/O
monitors the CPU temperature, system fan speed, and voltage
levels to prevent overheating and/or component damage, effect
timely failure detection, and ensure stable supply of current for
critical components.
Watchdog Timer
The watchdog timer (WDT) monitors system operations based on
user-defined settings. The WDT can be programmed for different
time-out periods, such as from 1 to 255 seconds or from 1 to 255
minutes. The WDT generates a reset signal, then a reset request,
after failure to strobe it within the programmed time period. A register bit may be enabled to indicate if the watchdog timer caused
the reset event. The WDT register is cleared during the power-on
sequence to enable the operating system to take appropriate
action when the watchdog generates a reboot.

This chapter provides information on how to install components to
the MI-220 SBC.
3.1System Memory
The MI-220 supports modules up to 8GB of DDR3 1066/1333MHz
in each of two 204-pin SO-DIMM sockets (total 16 GB). See
Figure 1-2 on page 9 for SO-DIMM socket locations.
Memory Module Installation
The DDR3 memory modules are notched to facilitate correct
installation in the DIMM sockets.
Disconnect all power supply to the board before installing a
memory module to prevent damaging the board and mem-
WARNING:
To install a memory module:
1. Locate the SO-DIMM slot on the motherboard.
ory module.

2. Align the memory module on the socket, making sure
that the notch matches the break on the socket.
3. Insert the module firmly into the slot until the retaining clips
snap back inwards and the module is securely seated.

3.2Driver Installation
The MI-220 drivers for Windows XP 32-bit are located in the fol-
lowing directories on the Driver CD, or can be downloaded from
The Intel Rapid Storage Technology Utility file may not be
included on the Driver CD. Please download it from the

4BIOS Setup
The following chapter describes basic navigation for the
AMIBIOS® EFI BIOS setup utility.
4.1Starting the BIOS
To enter the setup screen, follow these steps:
1. Power on the motherboard
2. Press the < Delete > key on your keyboard when you
see the following text prompt:
< Press DEL to run Setup >
3. After you press the < Delete > key, the main BIOS setup
menu displays. You can access the other setup screens
from the main BIOS setup menu, such as Chipset and
Power menus.
MI-220
Note: In most cases, the < Delete > key is used to invoke the setup
screen. There are several cases that use other keys, such as
< F1 >, < F2 >, and so on.
BIOS Setup 29
Page 42
Setup Menu
The main BIOS setup menu is the first screen that you can navigate. Each main BIOS setup menu option is described in this
user’s guide.
The Main BIOS setup menu screen has two main frames. The left
frame displays all the options that can be configured. “Grayed”
options cannot be configured, “Blue” options can be.
The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key legend is
an area reserved for a text message. When an option is selected
in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will
accompany it.
Navigation
The BIOS setup/utility uses a key-based navigation system called
hot keys. Most of the BIOS setup utility hot keys can be used at
any time during the setup navigation process.
These keys include < F1 >, < F10 >, < Enter >, < ESC >, < Arrow >
keys, and so on. .
30BIOS Setup
Page 43
MI-220
Note: There is a hot key legend located in the right frame on most
setup screens.
The < F8 > key on your keyboard is the Fail-Safe key. It is not displayed on the key legend by default. To set the Fail-Safe settings
of the BIOS, press the < F8 > key on your keyboard. It is located
on the upper row of a standard 101 keyboard. The Fail-Safe settings allow the motherboard to boot up with the least amount of
options set. This can lessen the probability of conflicting settings.
Hotkey Descriptions
F1The < F1 > key allows you to display the General Help
screen.
Press the < F1 > key to open the General Help screen.
BIOS Setup 31
Page 44
F10The < F10 > key allows you to save any changes you have
made and exit Setup. Press the < F10 > key to save your
changes. The following screen will appear:
Press the < Enter > key to save the configuration and exit.
You can also use the < Arrow > key to select Cancel and
then press the < Enter > key to abort this function and return
to the previous screen.
ESCThe < Esc > key allows you to discard any changes you have
made and exit the Setup. Press the < Esc > key to exit the
setup without saving your changes. The following screen will
appear:
Press the < Enter > key to discard changes and exit. You can
also use the < Arrow > key to select Cancel and then press
the < Enter > key to abort this function and return to the previous screen.
EnterThe < Enter > key allows you to display or change the setup
option listed for a particular setup item. The < Enter > key
can also allow you to display the setup sub-screens.
