System Memory AIMB-286 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.
LAN + USB Ports (LAN1/2/3, USB12, USB34) The AIMB-286 provides up to 8 USB ports. There are 4 x USB 3.0 on the rear side and 4 x USB 2.0 pin header on the board. The USB interface complies with the USB specification revision 2.0 that supports transmission rates of up to 480 Mbps, revision...
COM3456 COM3456 COM1/2 AIMB-286 supports six serial ports, COM1/4/5/6 support RS-232 function, COM2/3 support RS-232/422/485 function (RS422/485 support by BOM optional). These ports can connect to serial devices, such as a mouse or a printer, or to a communica- tions network. The IRQ and address ranges for these ports are fixed. However, if you want to disable the port or change these parameters later, you can do this in the sys- tem BIOS setup.
