## Key Features
• Bus compatibility: ISA96 and AT96 systems
• Modular architecture: H1/103 processor module with separate baseboard
• Front panel extenders for customer-specific interface expansion (PCIe, SATA, USB, LPC, I2C)
• Rear IO connector supporting direct cable or permanent “Rear-IO” extender bus adapter
• Thermal throttling built into hardware design
## Typical Applications
Industrial process control, embedded automation systems, transportation and mobile computing platforms, ruggedized field instrumentation, and legacy ISA/AT96 system integration requiring modernized processing capability.
## Compatibility & Integration
The ISA96 M4/103 integrates directly into ISA96 and AT96 bus architectures. The core H1/103 processor module houses the CPU and primary memory, while the baseboard provides connectivity and system-level I/O. Front extenders and rear IO adapters enable tailored interface configurations beyond the standard feature set.
