Ready-to-build mini workstation

The minisforum MS-02 Ultra Workstation is a barebone mini PC that ships without memory, storage or an operating system. It targets system integrators and enthusiasts who want to choose their own DDR5 modules and PCIe drives. The platform is built around an Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX processor with 14 cores in a hybrid 6P+8E configuration. Integrated Intel Graphics handle display output for everyday workloads.

Straightforward assembly with four slots

Installing memory is simple because the board provides four DDR5 SO-DIMM sockets that accept up to 256 GB in dual-channel mode. Two internal PCIe 4.0 x4 slots take M.2 storage devices, while the rear panel offers one HDMI port, one 10 GbE RJ45 port and one 2.5 GbE RJ45 port. Wireless connectivity uses WiFi7 and Bluetooth 5.4. The barebone format means you must supply every module and drive yourself; nothing is pre-installed.

256 GB DDR5 ceiling decides the fit

The single specification that determines whether this chassis matches your project is the 256 GB maximum memory capacity across four DDR5 slots. If your application needs more RAM than that, this platform cannot meet the requirement. Builders who need a second discrete graphics card or a different CPU socket will also need another solution.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX is running correctly after I install memory and storage?

Power on the unit, enter the BIOS to verify the 14-core processor is detected and that all four DDR5 slots show the installed capacity, then boot your OS and check Task Manager or lscpu for 14 cores and the correct memory total.

What comes in the box and which parts must I purchase separately?

The barebone includes the chassis, motherboard with soldered Core Ultra 5 235HX, cooling, WiFi7 and Bluetooth 5.4 module, dual RJ45 ports (10G and 2.5G), one HDMI, and four DDR5 SO-DIMM slots; you must buy DDR5 memory (up to 256 GB total) and storage drives yourself.

Which DDR5 capacity should I choose for the four slots?

The board supports up to 256 GB across four SO-DIMM slots with dual-channel operation; populate all four slots with matching modules for maximum bandwidth, or start with two modules and add two more later if 256 GB is not needed immediately.
