The **MH61TCD-R** is a specific industrial-grade motherboard designed by **Shuttle**, primarily used in their XH61 series slim PCs. It is built on the Intel H61 Express chipset and follows a proprietary form factor intended for compact cooling and specific I/O layouts. --- ### 1. Key Technical Specifications The following table outlines the core electronic components and hardware capabilities of the MH61TCD-R: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Chipset** | Intel H61 Express | | **CPU Socket** | LGA 1155 (Supports Intel 2nd/3rd Gen Core i3/i5/i7) | | **Memory** | 2x 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM (Up to 16GB) | | **Storage** | 2x SATA 3.0 Gb/s ports | | **Expansion Slots** | 1x Full-size Mini-PCIe / 1x Half-size Mini-PCIe | | **Audio** | Realtek ALC662 High Definition Audio | | **Networking** | Dual Realtek 8111E Gigabit Ethernet | | **Form Factor** | Shuttle Proprietary (Small Form Factor) | --- ### 2. Electronic Component Breakdown #### A. Power Delivery System The board utilizes a **Multi-phase VRM (Voltage Regulator Module)** design to convert the 19V DC input into the various voltages required by the CPU (Vcore). High-quality solid capacitors are typically used to ensure stability under high temperatures, which is critical for slim enclosures. #### B. Chipset & Logic * **Intel H61 PCH:** This is the "brain" of the motherboard, managing data flow between the CPU, SATA drives, and USB ports. * **Super I/O Controller:** Usually a Winbond or ITE chip that manages legacy ports, hardware monitoring (fan speeds/temperatures), and the PS/2 interface. #### C. Connectivity & I/O The MH61TCD-R is designed for industrial or kiosk use, reflected in its I/O selection: * **Video Outputs:** Typically features HDMI and VGA for dual-display support. * **Dual LAN:** Two independent Gigabit Ethernet controllers allow for network redundancy or "bridging" tasks. * **Mini-PCIe:** Designed for internal expansion, such as Wi-Fi modules or mSATA SSDs (depending on the specific revision). --- ### 3. Usage Context Because this is a **Proprietary Board**, it is not meant for standard ATX PC cases. Its electronic layout is optimized for the **Heatpipe Cooling System** found in Shuttle’s chassis, where the CPU is cooled by a remote radiator rather than a standard top-down fan.
