NLX is a new motherboard form factor specification from Intel which defines mechanical and electrical interfaces.
Working with the NLX form factor motherboard
NLX is a new motherboard form factor specification which
defines mechanical and electrical interfaces. Board
manufacturers use this specification to design motherboards
and chassis manufacturers use it to design chassis. This
form factor introduces new considerations to system
assembly, process opportunities for optimizing
manufacturing, as well as test and rework opportunities.
