MSI AM1I: Motherboard with Military Class 4 Hardware Base

Features:

MSI is one of the first manufacturers to introduce a motherboard for the newly launched AMD AM1 platform. The MSI AM1I features rather compact dimensions (170x170 mm) but its mini-ITX form-factor does not affect the specified functional possibilities for entry-level systems. The model supports AMD Athlon/Sempron processors for the above-mentioned socket.

The employment of Military Class 4 hardware base is supposed to be a major advantage of AM1I motherboard. It involves dark chokes, dark capacitors and other crucial components, which are backed by Military Class Essentials technology. The latter is called to protect the PCB from varied unfavorable happenings, i.e. high humidity, electrostatic discharge or high temperatures.

The PCB comes with two DIMM slots for the incorporation of one-channel DDR3 memory modules (up to 32 GB) with 1333/1600 MHz frequency. Storage is organized by means of two SATA III 6 Gb/sec ports, whereas expansion of functional is due to two PCI Express slots. Audio subsystem is based on HDA Realtek ALC887 controller that produces 8-channel sounding. Finally, network options are relied upon a single gigabit Realtek RTL8111G controller.

To continue, the list of external interfaces offers 3x audio sockets, 4x USB ports (2x each version), 1x RJ-45, 3x video ports (HDMI, DVI-D, D-Sub), and 2x PS/2 ports. Internal I/O panel is rich in 2x USB 2.0 ports, 1x frontal audio socket, 1x TPM, 1x COM, 1x Clear CMOS. The motherboard supports the connection of any monitors; this allows for the creation of diverse multimedia platforms.
