INTRODUCTION
Introduction
Product Description
The MI987 Mini ITX motherboard is based on the latest Intel® Q87
chipset. The platform supports Intel® 4th Generation Core™ DT i7/i5/i3
processors.
The latest Intel® processors provide advanced performance in both
computing and graphics quality. This meets the requirement of customers
in the gaming, POS, digital signage and server market segment.
The platform supports two SO-DIMM sockets that can accommodate up
to 16GB of DDR3-1600 Non-ECC memory. The Intel® 4th Gen. Core™
DT processor integrated HD graphics supports 3 independent displays,
Direct X 11.1, OpenGL 3.2, and Open CL 1.2. Display interfaces are for
HDMI, DisplayPort and VGA CRT.
With two Gigabit Ethernets, the MI987 Mini ITX board utilizes the
dramatic increase in performance provided Intel’s latest cutting-edge
technology. Expansion is provided by PCIe(4x), one full sized MiniPCIe
and two half sized MiniPCIe. Onboard connectors support 2x SATAIII,
4x or 6x USB 2.0 depending on the MI987 model and 2x COM ports. The
board measures 170mm x 170mm.

Installing the Memory
The MI987 board supports two DDR3 memory modules for a maximum
total of 16GB in DDR3 SODIMM memory type.
Installing and Removing Memory Modules
To install the DDR3 modules, locate the memory slot on the board and
perform the following steps:
1. Hold the DDR3 module so that the key of the DDR3 module aligned
with that on the memory slot.
2. Gently push the DDR3 module in an upright position until the clips of
the slot close to hold the DDR3 module in place when the DDR3
module touches the bottom of the slot.
3. To remove the DDR3 module, press the clips with both hands.

ATX Power ON Switch: Pins 1 and 2
This 2-pin connector is an “ATX Power Supply On/Off Switch” on the
system that connects to the power switch on the case. When pressed, the
power switch will force the system to power on. When pressed again, it
will force the system to power off.
Hard Disk Drive LED Connector: Pins 3 and 4
This connector connects to the hard drive activity LED on control panel.
This LED will flash when the HDD is being accessed.
Reset Switch: Pins 5 and 6
The reset switch allows the user to reset the system without turning the
main power switch off and then on again. Orientation is not required
when making a connection to this header.
