Good to know

This board uses the mini-STX form factor (5.5" x 5.8"), which is not compatible with standard Mini-ITX cases. A suitable chassis and DC power supply are required. The processor's integrated Intel UHD Graphics supports 4K output on HDMI and DisplayPort. The M.2 2230 slot can accommodate a Wi-Fi/BT module, but no module is included.
