Two cooling solutions are offered for the CoM: the HTS-cMTL-B heatspreader with threaded standoffs for bottom mounting, and THSF-mMTL-B active heatsinks with a fan.

The company also designed the COM-HPC Mini Base reference carrier board in ATX form factor for their first COM-HPC Mini module and subsequent ones. It features PCIe x8, PCIe x4, 3x PCIe x4 M.2 M-key slots, DP, eDP, and 4-lane MIPI-CSI display interfaces, Mic/Line-in/Line-out audio jacks, two USB 4, two USB 3.x, four USB 2.0, and an Ethernet port.

ADLINK COM-HPC-mMTL Intel Core Ultra COM-HPC Mini Computer-on-Module is shown as being preliminary, and unsurprisingly, we don’t have pricing information. The company says the development kit for prototyping and referencing will be available in H2 2025. More details may be found on the product page and the carrier board page.
