Mini-ITX Addendum to the MicroATX Specification

2 Layout

This section describes the mechanical specifications of the Mini-ITX and Thin Mini-ITX

form-factor motherboards. Size, mounting hole placement, connector placement, and

component height constraints are specified. System components such as hard drives,

disk drives, and power supplies are not specified; however, it is generally

recommended to consider what would facilitate assembly, as well as not place

components such that they block fan inlets. An example layout is depicted in Figure

Thin Mini-ITX is a variant of standard Mini-ITX and shares most of the same

requirements. Requirements are only different where new specifications are

specifically defined for Thin Mini-ITX.
