It should be free of marks and scratches and in perfect working order upon receipt. As you unpack the AIMB-785, check it for signs of ship- ping damage. (For example, damaged box, scratches, dents, etc.) If it is damaged or it fails to meet the specifications, notify our service department or your local sales representative immediately.
AIMB-785 provides triple display interfaces. Users can use the onboard VGA and the other DVI ports at the same time. In addition, the AIMB-785 has dual Gigabit Ethernet LAN via dedicated PCIe x1 bus, which offers bandwidth of up to 500 MB/s, eliminat- ing network bottlenecks.
BIOS: AMI SPI BIOS (128Mbit) System Chipset: Q170 SATA Hard Disk Drive Interface: AIMB-785 supports six SATA III ports. SATA2- SATA5 provides RAID functions (RAID 0, 1, 5, 10). Note! The Intel 7th generation processors only support Windows 10 (64-bit).
Board weight: Jumpers and Connectors Connectors on the AIMB-785 motherboard link it to external devices such as hard disk drives and a keyboard. In addition, the board has a number of jumpers that are used to configure your system for your application.
1, 2, and 3. In this case you connect either pins 1 and 2, or 2 and 3. A pair of needle-nose pliers may be useful when set- ting jumpers. AIMB-785 User Manual...
1.8.3 Watchdog timer output (JWDT1) The AIMB-785 contains a watchdog timer that will reset the CPU. This feature means the AIMB-785 will recover from a software failure or an EMI problem. The JWDT1 jumper settings control the outcome of what the computer will do in the event the watchdog timer is tripped.
USB +5 V Power 2-3 closed * default setting AIMB-785 allows users to set USB power between +5 V_DUAL and +5 V. When the jumper is set as +5 V, the board doesn't support wake up from S3 via keyboard or mouse.
System Memory AIMB-785 has four 288-pin memory sockets for DDR4 1866/2133 MHz memory modules with maximum capacity of 64 GB (Maximum 16 GB for each DIMM). AIMB- 785 only supports non-ECC DDR4 memory modules. Please note that AIMB-785 does NOT support registered DIMMs (RDIMMs).
Parallel Port (LPT1) LPT1 The parallel port is normally used to connect the motherboard to a printer. The AIMB- 785 includes an onboard parallel port, accessed through a 25-pin flat-cable connec- tor, LPT1. AIMB-785 User Manual...
5 Gb/s and fuse protection are supported. The USB interface can be disabled in the system BIOS setup. The AIMB-785 is equipped with two high-performance 1000 Mbps Ethernet LANs. They are supported by all major network operating systems. The RJ-45 jacks on the rear plate provide convenient 1000Base-T operation.
COM6 VGA1+COM1 The AIMB-785 offers six serial ports (one on the rear panel and five onboard). RS- 232/422/485 mode is selected by BIOS for COM3. These ports can connect to a serial mouse, printer or communications network. The IRQ and address ranges for...

Serial ATA Interface (SATA0~5) SATA0 SATA 2 SATA4 SATA1 SATA3 SATA5 AIMB-785 features six high performance serial ATA III interfaces (up to 600 MB/s) with long, thin, easy-to-run SATA cables. Note! SATA0 and SATA1(red ports) are controlled by Marvell chipset support- ing PCIe x1 Gen2 with less performance than SATA2~5.
Auxiliary 4-pin power connector (ATX12V1) To ensure the enough power is supplied to the motherboard, one auxiliary 4-pin power connector is available on the AIMB-785. ATX1 must be used to provide suffi- cient 12 V power to ensure the stable operation of the system.
