The MS-C73 is the latest addition to The BVM Group’s comprehensive family of industrial grade motherboards. The Micro ATX form factor motherboard has two PCI and two PCIe slots for expansion cards and the platform delivers higher performance and improved energy efficiency in a secure and manageable operating environment. Combining low power with high performance, the unit is based on the Intel Mobile QM67 chipset managing Intel Sandy Bridge second-generation 32nm Core i7/i5/i3 Celeron Mobile processors in the rPGA988B socket. The integrated HD Graphic 3000 core provides substantial video performance gains and lower power consumption over previous generations. The MS-C73 is intended for use in a variety of applications such as industrial control and automation, gaming, medical Instruments, digital video surveillance servers, military systems, print imaging and digital signage where heavy-duty graphics requirements and raw processing power are needed coincidentally.
The unit is highly specified. Up to 16GB of 1600MHz SO-DIMM is supported; four 300MB/s SATA II and two 600MB/s SATA3 interfaces are provided for mass storage. VGA, DVI and a 24-bit LVDS dual channel video are supported, HD audio is provided by a Realtek ALC888 Codec. Two GigaLAN ports, five RS232 ports, one RS232/422/485 port and ten USB2.0 ports provide external I/O communications. A PCIe x16 slot for 3D graphics and enterprise storage, a PCIe x4 general-purpose slot, two PCI, Mini-PCIe and Mini-PCI socket expansion interfaces are onboard. An 8-bit GPIO interface and a watchdog timer are also provided; power is from a standard 24-pin ATX PSU.
