1.8.2 CMOS Clear (CMOS1) The AIMB-276 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-276 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-276 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-276 provides up to ten USB ports. Eight USB3.1 on the rear side and two pin header on the board.
