MINIS FORUM 02 Ultra MiniPC Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX CPU

MINIS FORUM MS-02 Ultra is a miniPC that redefines the concept of performance in a small form factor. Equipped with an Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 285HX processor with 24 cores and a clock speed of up to 5.5 GHz, it is suitable for a variety of tasks. It allows for extensive expansion – three PCIe slots and four M.2 NVMe SSD connectors are available. Network connectivity is provided by two 25 GbE ports, one 10 GbE port, and one 2.5 GbE port.

High performance

At the heart of the computer is an Intel Ultra 9 285HX processor, which offers 24 cores, 24 threads, and 36 MB of cache. With a TDP of up to 140W and Intel AI Boost technology, the hardware can handle not only everyday tasks but also projects that require high computing power. Integrated Intel graphics with a maximum frequency of up to 2 GHz provide basic multimedia support and high-resolution image display.

Unlimited RAM and data storage

The MINIS FORUM MS-02 Ultra supports up to 256 GB of DDR5 RAM, mounted in four SO-DIMM slots. Four M.2 NVMe SSD slots are provided for user data — two directly on the motherboard (PCIe 4.0 x4) and two integrated with the 25GbE NIC network card. Each slot can support a drive with a capacity of up to 8 TB, allowing you to build a very capacious and fast array with the possibility of RAID 0, 1, 5, or 10 configuration.

Effective cooling

To meet the thermal requirements of such powerful components, a heat sink with six heat pipes and two fans — one with a diameter of 70 mm and the other 60 mm — have been used. Even at full load, the device maintains a maximum noise level of 46 dBA at a distance of 50 cm, which translates into comfortable operation.

Fast and stable network connection

The model stands out for its connectivity flexibility. There are two 25GbE SFP+ ports based on the Intel E810 chip, one 10GbE RJ45 port (Realtek RTL8127), and one 2.5GbE RJ45 port with Intel vPro support. The whole thing is complemented by an Intel BE200 wireless card, offering Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4.

A wide selection of ports

The front of the case features two USB4 V2 Type-C ports with 80 Gbps bandwidth and support for DisplayPort 2.0 and 15W charging, one USB-A 3.2 Gen. 2 10Gbps port, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and a power button. The rear of the device features three USB-A 3.2 Gen. 2 10 Gbps ports, one USB4 Type-C connector (40 Gbps), one HDMI 2.1 FRL, and network ports: x2 25 GbE SFP+; 10 GbE Rj45 and 2.5 GbE Rj45.

Ready to go

The computer is powered by a built-in 350W 1U standard power supply. The model supports Windows 11 Pro and Home, and the set includes all the necessary accessories: power cord, HDMI cable, SSD heat sink, protective plate, and disassembly tool.
