Introducing the Motherboard
Introduction
Thank you for choosing the H11H4-I motherboard. This motherboard is a high
performance, enhanced function motherboard designed to support Intel Skylake
processors for high-end business or personal desktop markets.
This motherboard is based on integrated Intel Chipset for best desktop platform
solution. Skylake is a dual-core processor. The chipset for Skylake is highly inte-
grated and high performance. Moreover, Skylake will feature DirectX11.1-compli-
ant GCN-based graphics and support Win8 and UEFI Secure Boot. This motherboard
supports up to 16 GB 260pin SO-DIMM memory with
dual-channel DDR4 2133
(1GB/ 2GB/ 4GB/ 8GB)
SDRAM. One PCI Express x16 slot is supported, is fully
compliant to the PCI Express Base Specification revision 2.0. One Mini PCIE is also
supported. It implements an EHCI (Enhanced Host Controller Interface) compliant
interface that provides four USB 2.0 ports (two USB 2.0 headers support additional
four USB 2.0 ports and one port is supported by mPCIE 2.0 USB signal) and four USB
3.0 ports at the rear panel.
The motherboard is equipped with advanced full set of I/O ports in the rear panel,
including PS/2 mouse and PS/2 keyboard connectors, two Serial ports (COM), one
VGA port, two Lan ports, four USB 3.0 ports, one HDMI port and audio jacks for
line-out and Mic-in.
In addition, this motherboard supports two SATA 6.0Gb/s connectors.

    Installing Hardware Installing Memory Modules This motherboard accommodates two memory modules. It can support DDR4 2133 (1GB/ 2GB/ 4GB/ 8GB). The total memory capacity is 16 GB. Do not remove any memory module from its antistatic packaging until you are ready to install it on the motherboard. Handle the modules only by their edges.
  • Page 13: Installation Procedure

    Installation Procedure Refer to the following to install the memory modules. This motherboard supports unbuffered DDR4 SDRAM . Push the latches on each side of the DIMM slot down. Align the memory module with the slot. The DIMM slots are keyed with notches and the DIMMs are keyed with cutouts so that they can only be installed correctly.
  • Page 14: Expansion Slots

    Expansion Slots Installing Add-on Cards The slots on this motherboard are designed to hold expansion cards and connect them to the system bus. Expansion slots are a means of adding or enhancing the motherboard’s features and capabilities. With these efficient facilities, you can in- crease the motherboard’s capabilities by adding hardware that performs tasks that are not part of the basic system.
  • Page 15 Follow these instructions to install an add-on card: Remove a blanking plate from the system case corresponding to the slot you are going to use. Install the edge connector of the add-on card into the expansion slot. Ensure that the edge connector is correctly seated in the slot. Secure the metal bracket of the card to the system case with a screw.
