AIO Integration with Thin Mini-ITX Intel® Desktop Boards – v1.0 3

1. Introduction

LVDS flat panel displays are the building block for all modern flat panel monitors. The interface for such displays,
however, is not standardized and, as a consequence, LVDS enabling on Intel Desktop Boards follow a specific
implementation. 14.97

EMC certification is highly dependent on the system chassis. While Intel Desktop Boards with LVDS support are
tested for EMI compliance with LVDS enabled, the actual EMC certification of the board is performed using
standard “off-the-shelf” desktop-style chassis (not an LVDS panel).

System builders who enable LVDS on their product lineup own the support and EMC certification of such systems
for end-users.

Table 1 summarizes the major features of the LVDS flat panel display interface implementation on Intel Desktop
Boards.

Table 1: LVDS Interfaces on Intel Desktop Boards

Panel Connectivity 40-pin header (data, clock, EDID and panel logic power)
Panel Power Voltage selection jumper for 3.3V, 5V, or 12V panel voltage support
Inverter Connectivity 8-pin header supporting backlight lamp PWM control and inverter power
Inverter Power Voltage selection jumper for 5V or 12V backlight inverter voltage support

The AIO specification requires all cables to be built into the chassis, including cables and connectors for LVDS,
SATA drives, power, etc.

Guide, so the Intel boards don’t support this feature.

AIO Integration with Thin Mini-ITX Intel® Desktop Boards – v1.0 11

5Gigabyte: There is an extra cable for “Wi-Fi LED” feature introduced by Gigabyte, not defined in the AIO Design
Guide. There are no plans to add the “WiFi LED” feature to Intel boards.

6Gigabyte: Intel Desktop Board DN2800MT board rev -600 is not compatible with the single-channel LVDS cable
provided with the Gigabyte AEBN (18.5”) chassis. Use board rev -800 or later. Refer to published Technical
Advisory for details: Intel® Desktop Board DN2800MT - Technical Advisory – Single-Channel LVDS

7 Wibtek A21:
a. The A21 I/O shield opening is not compliant with Thin Mini-ITX motherboard specification. Wibtek has
acknowledged the issue. They are considering including a for Intel Desktop Board DN2800MT back panel ports
which can be used in place of the Intel Desktop Board DN2800MT I/O shield.
b. Backlight driver board cable: Chassis cable connecting backlight driver board to motherboard is just long enough,
requiring it to run over where the stand hinge needs to attach.

8Mitac: The Maestro 650 uses a custom heat pipe thermal solution. The CPU fan header connector on the Intel
Desktop Board DQ77KB is underneath the heat pipe. The Mitac thermal solution is in violation of the Intel
HTS1155LP KOZ, causing CPU blower cables to touch heat pipe.

9 AIO chassis does not support a system fan. ODM uses alternative ways (e.g. thermal pad) to cool the VRs.

10 AIO chassis supports a 3-wire system fan. The Version 1.0 of the AIO Design Guide recommends AIO Chassis to

use a 4-wire system fan.

11 Chassis requires full profile (Mini ITX) I/O shield

6. Integration steps (case study with Intel Desktop Board DH61AG)

This section is a case study of the integration of an Intel Desktop Board DH61AG in a Mitac Maestro 650 AIO
chassis. The Mitac chassis comes with the AIO enclosure with the panel integrated, the power adapter, and the
hard drive and optical drive cages pre-installed in the chassis.

6.1 Opening the chassis

Open the chassis by unscrewing the single screw on the top middle of the back cover.

AIO Integration with Thin Mini-ITX Intel® Desktop Boards – v1.0 12

Push the cover to the top
There are metal tabs that hold the back cover to the inside chassis pan. To remove the back cover, push the
cover towards the TOP.

Lift the back cover

Once the cover has been pushed up about ½ cm, it can be lifted straight up. If the thermal solution is installed
in the chassis, then remove it from the chassis.

AIO Integration with Thin Mini-ITX Intel® Desktop Boards – v1.0 13

6.2 Installing the desktop board

Install the I/O shield

Install the half-height IO shield that shipped with the DH61AG board. Push both ends in with your thumbs.

Thermal solution attaches to the board

The Mitac 650 chassis does not include a back plate; instead the thermal solution is attached to the board and
the chassis through four screw standoffs, which are screwed into the chassis pan.

AIO Integration with Thin Mini-ITX Intel® Desktop Boards – v1.0 14

Install processor and memory
It is easier to install the smaller components (processor, SO-DIMM memory, mSATA SSD drive, wireless card)
onto the board BEFORE installing the board in the AIO chassis.

Install mini-PCI expansion cards

Install the Wi-Fi module and mSATA SSD drives into the half-length and full length mini-PCIe slots
respectively, and secure them with the retention screws.

AIO Integration with Thin Mini-ITX Intel® Desktop Boards – v1.0 15

Integrate the board
Move all the wires away from the board area, and raise the metals tabs of the I/O shield before you install the
board. Make sure no metal tabs are going inside the back panel ports.

Insert the motherboard at an angle, aligning all the back panel ports into the IO shield. Lay the board flat and
screw in the four screws. The speaker wires go from the bottom of the chassis to the plug into the board
connector which is at the top of the board, so these cables have to be placed at the bottom of the board.

6.3 Connecting peripherals and cables

Display panel jumpers

Before plugging in any cables, change the set the board jumpers to these settings:
• Flat panel voltage: 5V
• Backlight inverter voltage: 19V

AIO Integration with Thin Mini-ITX Intel® Desktop Boards – v1.0 16

Internal speakers
The Mitac 650 AIO has 3 watt/4 ohm stereo speakers inside which get powered directly from the board.
Connect the 4-pin white connector near the ½ length PCIe expansion slot to the internal stereo speaker
connector which is 1x4-pin, shrouded.

Wireless antenna
The Mitac AIO has two wireless (Wi-Fi) antennas pre-installed (white and black) with cables routed to the
board area. Connect the cables’ gold contacts to the wireless module. Use a fingernail or screwdriver head to
push the plug into place, till you hear a click. Route the antenna cable over the board components as shown
on the right, to prevent wire tangling.

AIO Integration with Thin Mini-ITX Intel® Desktop Boards – v1.0 17

Touchscreen interface
If your Mitac 650 chassis supports an optical touchscreen interface, the touch interface is implemented as a
single 1x5 USB header. Plug this cable into a single USB header (shown below next to the processor socket
on the Intel Desktop Board DH61AG board).

Flat panel backlight power and brightness

Insert the 8-pin shrouded panel power and brightness connector to the red connector next to the LVDS port.
The connector is keyed so can only be plugged in one way. Make sure you have matched the 12V vs. 19V
panel power jumper according to the panel specifications.

AIO Integration with Thin Mini-ITX Intel® Desktop Boards – v1.0 18

LVDS connector
Insert the flat silver ribbon cable with a 40-pin LVDS connector into the board’s LVDS port on the top surface
of the board. Note: there is another similar looking port on the bottom side which is an eDP* port (embedded
DisplayPort*.) To ensure the connector is all the way in, use a screwdriver head to push in both sides of the
connector.

Front panel connector

Plug the front panel chassis cable to the board’s front panel header. This connector includes the side power
button, the HDD LED, and the reset button.

AIO Integration with Thin Mini-ITX Intel® Desktop Boards – v1.0 19

Webcam and digital MIC
In the Mitac 650 AIO chassis, the webcam and digital MIC are implemented as a single USB device with a 1x5
pin internal USB header connector. Plug it into a regular 4-pin USB port (next to SATA data ports).

Slim optical drive

Connect the combo SATA power and data cable for the slim optical drive.

AIO Integration with Thin Mini-ITX Intel® Desktop Boards – v1.0 20

SATA power cable
A SATA power cable ships with the Intel Desktop Board DH61AG board and will power both the hard disk
drive (or SSD) and an optical drive. The L-shaped connector connects to the board.

SATA data cable

A SATA data cable ships with the Intel Desktop Board DH61AG board and should be used for the hard disk
drive (or SSD). Connect the L-shaped connector to either of the two SATA data ports on the board.

AIO Integration with Thin Mini-ITX Intel® Desktop Boards – v1.0 21

Installing a 3.5” hard drive
If you are using a 3.5” drive instead of an mSATA SSD: slide the drive into the cage and then secure it with
the included four screws. Place the drive assembly on the chassis pan at an angle so it slides under the back
plastic panel. Align the screw holes for the drive cage and then screw in the two screws provided to hold the
cage to the chassis pan.

Plug in a 3.5” hard drive

Plug the SATA power and SATA data cable coming from the motherboard to the back of the drive. Route the
cables in a way that they can be pressed down when the back cover is screwed in.

AIO Integration with Thin Mini-ITX Intel® Desktop Boards – v1.0 22

Integrate the thermal solution
Apply the thermal interface material (TIM) to the processor. Place the heatsink into position, aligning the
board and chassis attach at the same time. Then screw the four thermal solution screws in a Z-pattern. Note:
the thermal solution goes under the chassis edge (circled)

Integrate the processor blower

Finish the thermal solution integration by securing the heat exchanger to the chassis with one screw. Then
place the blower in the chassis, aligning its three screw holes. Make sure no wires are trapped under the
blower.

AIO Integration with Thin Mini-ITX Intel® Desktop Boards – v1.0 23

Plug in the blower
Plug the 4-wire cable from the blower to the white processor fan header on the board next to the SATA
power port. The fan is PWM-controllable and has a fan tach signal output wire. The fan speed ranges from
1180 – 3380 RPM.

Finalize the integration

Before the back cover is closed, make sure the I/O shield of the Intel Desktop Board DH61AG board has not
got any metal tabs stuck in the ports and the cables inside the chassis are properly routed, especially the
optical drive power connector which is a large 4-pin Molex connector and can obstruct the back cover.

AIO Integration with Thin Mini-ITX Intel® Desktop Boards – v1.0 24
