Description
The DFI ASL171/ASL173 is a compact Mini-ITX industrial single board computer designed for embedded, edge, and IoT applications that require long-term availability and reliable performance. Powered by Intel® Atom® Amston Lake processors, it delivers efficient processing with low power consumption, making it suitable for fanless and space-constrained system designs. Supporting DDR5 memory and triple-display output with 4K resolution capability, the ASL171/ASL173 is well suited for digital signage, industrial HMI, kiosks, and control systems. Rich I/O connectivity, including dual 2.5GbE LAN, multiple USB ports, SATA storage, and versatile M.2 expansion options, allows for flexible system configuration. With extended product lifecycle support aligned to Intel IoTG roadmaps, this board is ideal for long-term industrial deployments where stability and availability are critical.
