Current Alternative
The 1700NP-NAS is the recommended currently available alternative for new Q670-NAS projects. It retains the LGA1700, Mini-ITX, eight-SATA, four-port 2.5GbE platform, but it is not a drop-in replacement. Review the differences below before ordering.
1700NP-NAS-MB
A current-generation Mini-ITX NAS and storage-server motherboard for customers who need socketed Intel desktop-class processing, eight SATA ports, four 2.5GbE interfaces, and higher-bandwidth PCIe expansion.
- Intel 12th / 13th / 14th Gen FCLGA1700 platform
- 2 x DDR5 DIMM, up to 96GB
- 8 x SATA + 1 x M.2 PCIe Gen4 x4
- 4 x Intel I226V 2.5GbE
- PCIe 5.0 x8, mPCIe, SIM, dual COM, GPIO, and TPM 2.0
Compatibility Differences
Confirm the chassis, memory, storage, expansion card, and software configuration before migration.
- Memory
- Q670-NAS uses DDR5 SO-DIMM; 1700NP-NAS uses full-size DDR5 DIMM.
- M.2 Storage
- Q670-NAS provides two M.2 Key-M slots; 1700NP-NAS provides one M.2 Key-M PCIe Gen4 x4 slot.
- PCIe
- Q670-NAS provides PCIe Gen4 x4; 1700NP-NAS provides PCIe 5.0 x8.
- Management
- Q670-NAS includes an Intel I226LM LAN3 interface. Q670 chipset or Intel vPro features are not claimed for 1700NP-NAS.
- Additional I/O
- 1700NP-NAS adds mPCIe, SIM, dual configurable RS232/RS485 COM, GPIO, and TPM 2.0 headers.

Processor support, memory speed and capacity, integrated graphics, PCIe operation, storage and RAID functions, Intel vPro features, operating-system support, and peripheral compatibility depend on the selected processor, BIOS version, firmware, drivers, add-in hardware, thermal solution, and final system configuration. Validate the complete configuration before deployment.
Typical Applications
The Q670-NAS combines a socketed Intel desktop processor platform, eight SATA ports, dual NVMe storage, four 2.5GbE interfaces, and compact Mini-ITX dimensions for storage, virtualization, and edge-computing deployments.
Enterprise NAS and File Server
Eight SATA ports, dual M.2 NVMe slots, up to 96GB DDR5 memory, and four 2.5GbE interfaces suit shared storage, departmental file services, backup, and archiving.
Private Cloud and Media Server
High-density storage, NVMe cache or system-drive options, and socketed Intel processor support provide a flexible base for private-cloud storage, media libraries, and home data centers.
Virtualization and Storage Services
Dual-channel DDR5, four independent 2.5GbE ports, dual NVMe storage, and PCIe Gen4 x4 expansion support small virtualization hosts and network-isolated storage services after software validation.
Edge Computing and Industrial Storage
Mini-ITX dimensions, auto-power-on control, serial connectivity, multi-port networking, and a wide documented operating range support edge data nodes, NVR storage, and OEM system integration.
Downloads & Support
Important: before updating the BIOS, verify the motherboard model, PCB marking, hardware revision, installed processor, and current BIOS version. Use only firmware confirmed for the exact board revision. Installing incompatible firmware may prevent the system from booting.
