Jumpers and Connectors Connectors on the AIMB-275 motherboard link it to devices such as hard disk drives and a keyboard. In addition, the board has a number of jumpers used to configure your system for your application. The tables below list the function of each of the board jumpers and connectors. Later sections in this chapter give instructions on setting jumpers.
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-275 User Manual...
1.8.2 CMOS Clear (CMOS1) The AIMB-275 motherboard contains a jumper that can erase CMOS data and reset the system BIOS information. Normally this jumper should be set with pins 1-2 closed. If you want to reset the CMOS data, set CMOS1 to 2-3 closed for just a few seconds, and then move the jumper back to 1-2 closed.
5 and 6 System Memory AIMB-275 has two sockets for a 260 pins DDR4 SO-DIMM. This socket uses a 1.2 V unbuffered double data rate synchronous DRAM (DDR SDRAM). DRAM is available in capacities of 4GB, 8GB and 16GB. The sockets can be filled in any combination with SODIMMs of any size, giving a total memory size between 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, and up to max 32GB.
1.11 Cache Memory The AIMB-275 supports a CPU with one of the following built-in full speed Last Level Cache: 8MB for Intel Core i7-6700 / i7-6700TE 6MB for Intel Core i5-6500 / i5-6500TE...
USB Ports (LAN1_USB12/LAN2_USB34/USB56/ USB78/USB910) The AIMB-275 provides up to ten USB ports. Four USB3.0 on the rear side and six pin header on the board. The USB interface complies with USB Specification Rev. 2.0 and Rev. 3.0 supporting transmission rates up to 625 Mbps and is fuse protected.
