Introduction

ASMB-585 motherboard is designed with the most advanced Intel® C236 PCH for
industrial server grade applications that require high-performance computing. The
motherboard supports Intel® Xeon® E3 V5 processor with DDR4 288pin 1600/1866/
2133 MHz ECC/Non-ECC memory for up to 64 GB. ASMB-585 also provides cost-
effective Intel HD graphics integrated on processor, and the graphics VRAM is 1 GB
maximum shared memory with 2 GB and above system memory installed. There is
one PCIe x16 slot (Gen3 x16 link), and two PCIe x4 slots (Gen3 x4 link), and one
PCIe x4 slot (Gen3 x1 link) to fulfill multi-PCIe demands from video surveillance and
factory automation markets. In addition, ASMB-585 also comes with four Gigabit
Ethernet LAN (G4 version) via dedicated PCIe bus, which offers bandwidth up to 300
MB/s eliminating network bottlenecks. High reliability and outstanding performance
make ASMB-585 the ideal platform for industrial applications.
By using the Intel® C236 chipset, the ASMB-585 offers a variety of features such as
seven onboard SATA III interfaces (bandwidth = 600 MB/s) with software RAID; 6 x
USB 3.0 and 7 x USB 2.0 connectors. These powerful I/O capabilities ensure even
more reliable data storage capabilities and high-speed I/O peripheral connectivity.
The ASMB-585 also adopts Advantech's unique, patented Sleep Mode Control
Circuit for AT Power Mode. With all the excellent features and outstanding perfor-
mance, ASMB-585 is the ideal platform for today's industrial applications.

Features

 Triple Display: ASMB-585 has one VGA, two DVI-D ports. Users are able to
use all display outputs to implement triple display functions.
 PCIe architecture: There are one PCIe x16 slots (x16 link) from Intel processor,
and three x4 slot from Intel C236 PCH.
 High Performance I/O capability: 4 x Gigabit LAN via PCIe bus, 6 x USB 3.0,
7 x USB 2.0 ports. (1*Type-A USB 2.0), 7 x SATA III connectors.
 Standard Micro-ATX form factor with industrial features: ASMB-585 pro-
vides industrial features like longevity, wide temperature range operation,
watchdog timer functions, and more.
Automatic power on after power failure: It is often necessary to have an unat-

tended system come back into operation when power resumes after a power
failure. Advantech's industrial motherboard allows users to set the system to
power on automatically without anyone hitting power button. Please refer to the
detailed "AT" mode settings in Table 1.8 of Section 1.8.1.5.
Active Management Technology 9.0: The hardware and firmware base solu-

tion is powered by the system auxiliary power plane to remotely monitor net-
worked systems. Intel AMT (iAMT) stores hardware and software information in
non-volatile memory. Built-in management provides out-of-band management
capabilities, allowing remote discovery and KVM to repair systems after OS fail-
ures or when a system has crashed. Alert and event logging features detect
problems and quickly reduce downtime, pro-actively blocking incoming threats,
containing infected clients before they impact the network, and proactively noti-
fying the user when critical software agents are removed. To enable iAMT,
please refer 3.3.7 AMT Configuration.
