Dual core 1.6GHz Atom N330 processor and powerful but low power consumption NVidia ION graphics processor featuring PureVideo™ HD Blu-Ray/HD DVD acceleration, CUDA™, PhysX™ and nView™ multiple display support for up to 2 monitors. Integrated 5.1 Audio and 802.11/n Wi-Fi. Up to 4GB of DDR2 667/800MHz RAM; Gigabit LAN; VGA, DVI & HDMI graphics outputs; S/PDIF (optical and coaxial); 3x SATA 3Gbps, eSATA; 10x USB 2.0 (inc 4 internal); Fully Vista and Windows 7 Compatible. Approx 25W power consumption.
Available as part of our Zotac ION-ITX-A Wi-Fi / M350 Case / RAM Offer Bundle
Rear Panel Connectors: PS2 Keyboard, 6x USB 2.0; HDMI, S/PDIF digital audio out (both optical and coaxial), VGA, DVI; eSATA; Gigabit LAN; 3x 3.5mm audio connectors, Antenna Socket for Wi-Fi, 19V DC Power Input.
Board connectors: 4x USB 2.0 connectors on 2x 9pin headers; 2x DDR2 667/800 DIMM sockets; Mini PCI Express x1 (used by Wi-Fi card); 3x SATA 3Gbps (RAID 0, 1, 0+1 and NVidia MediaShield support); Serial header; Male Molex power connector (3x SATA HDD cable provided); BIOS jumper; CPU Fan; FPANEL.
Important! This board has a DC Power input and is not designed for use with a standard ATX PSU: The ION-ITX-A is provided with a 90W AC Adapter which powers the board directly and feeds power to up to 3 other devices through an on-board male Molex connector. We sell several enclosures without power supplies, or you can bypass the PSU on any other compatible Mini-ITX case. 90W is enough to power 3x HDDs or Slimline Optical Drives*, but we *do not* recommend powering a full size optical drive.
Powering devices: A cable with female Molex to 3x SATA power connectors is provided, suitable for powering up to 3x SATA 2.5in or 3.5in HDD/SSD. Other devices (including PATA/SATA slimline optical drives and CF cards) will require additional cables. Please use the cables linked on the left, or email before ordering. Don't forget you can install Vista from a USB key very easily!
Suitable cases (without PSU): The following enclosures come without an internal PSU and are fully compatible with the ION-ITX-A: M350 (highly recommended - currently available in a bundle), VoomPC , VoomPC 2 . Note: VoomPCs are not provided with a power switch.
Partially compatible cases (without PSU): M200 , M300 , M200-LCD , M300-LCD include IDE CF Adapters which cannot be used - these boards only have SATA ports.
Suitable cases (with PSU): The following enclosures have a PSU which can be bypassed and are compatible with the ION-ITX-A: Nexus Psile , Venus 669 , Compucase 8K01 , Compucase 8K07 , Silverstone SG05 and Jou Jue NU-528i , NAS Chassis
Unsuitable/untested cases: Lower profile cases cannot accommodate the slightly larger heatsink of the ION-ITX-A, e.g. 1U Rackmount and Low Profile Media Case. Many cases are currently untested and may not work, including Travla C158, Thin Client, Compact Wall Mount and all Cubid cases. Please wait for us to update this section or email if you are unsure.
Notes: ION-ITX-A Rev 2 now supports wake-on-USB (from 28th July). The ION-ITX uses DDR2 memory. This is not compatible with DDR memory. Fully tested DDR2 DIMMs are available here.

Zotac ION Atom Mini-ITX Motherboard FAQ Updated 11th December 2009
Q What graphics processor does the ION chipset use?
A ION contains an nVidia Geforce 9400M GPU.
Q Can the ION-ITX-A, D or F be run without its fan?
A No.
Q Can I add a second drive to the Zotac ION-ITX-A Wi-Fi / M350 Mini-ITX Case / RAM Offer Bundle?
A Sadly not. The motherboard fan gets in the way. This fan is not removable.
Q Are there any other versions of the board available?
A Not at launch. There are only two versions in the short term. More models are likely to be released with specifications between the two initial boards.
Q Do you have any benchmarks? Can you test something specific for me?
A We have reviewed the ION-ITX-A, and other reviews are also available. Initial results are that 3D graphics are 10 times faster than the 945GC Atom boards and 1080p playback is possible with a single core using CUDA.
Q What drivers are provided with the board?
A XP 32/64 bit and Vista 32/64 bit drivers are provided. Linux drivers are not provided - but our initial tests show that VDPAU x264 acceleration is possible (Ubuntu, Mplayer recompile, 5% CPU 720p, 30% CPU 1080p playback on the single core ION-ITX-B)
Q Will my particular case choice work with the ION-ATX-A Wi-Fi?
A Possibly. Check the board description first, then email us at store [AT] mini-itx.com Everything will be tested when we have time.
Q Are there any other discounted ION bundles? Can I design my own?
A There are no more ION bundles planned for the immediate future. All components are of course available separately. Email us for design assistance!
