Intel N97 mini-ITX motherboard targets industrial automation, digital signage, networking appliances

The Jetway DMTX-ADN1 is a mini-ITX industrial motherboard built around the Intel N97 Alder Lake-N SoC with support for DDR5 memory, multiple displays, and a wide temperature range. It targets applications in industrial automation, kiosks, digital signage, and networking appliances.

The motherboard supports up to 32GB DDR5 4800MHz memory, triple display setups via HDMI 2.0b, DP 1.4, and a 24-bit dual-channel LVDS/eDP interface, and offers a SATA III port and two M.2 M-Key sockets for NVMe or SATA drives. It also features an M.2 E-Key 2230 socket for wireless expansion with CNVi support, two Gigabit Ethernet ports, and a range of I/Os, including six COM ports, two USB 3.2, eight USB 2.0, 8-bit GPIO, SMBus, watchdog timer, and more.

The company provides support for Linux, Windows 10, and Windows 11 operating systems, but at the time of writing, I couldn’t find any drivers available in their download section; only the manual is available.

While writing the specifications, I noticed that this motherboard is very similer ot the Jetway JMTX-ADN8, as both are industrial mini-ITX motherboards powered by the Intel N97 Alder Lake-N SoC, with similar RAM, display, and networking options. The only difference is in port layout and expansion options, and the DMTX-ADN1 appears to follow the thin mini-ITX form factor. We have written about other Alder Lake-N-based boards from Jetway, but those come in different form factors or such as the JNUC-ADN1, JF35-ADN1.

No availability or pricing information is available, but you may find additional details on the product page. [Update: Sample price is $245]
