Motherboard Information Block Diagram The block diagram indicates how data flows among components on the motherboard. Note: The Intel NCSI (Network Controller Sideband Interface) is limited to 100Mbps, despite sharing a connection with the Intel i210, which is capable of 1Gbps. This discrepancy occurs because the actual bandwidth for NCSI is constrained to 100Mbps, regardless of the 1Gbps speed capability of the Intel i210.

Motherboard Layout The motherboard layout shows the connectors and jumpers on the board. Refer to the following picture as a reference of the pin assignments and the internal connectors. Note: JRISER1a and JRISER1b combined support one PCIEx16 slot, while JRISER1a alone supports a single PCIEx8 slot.
Page 16
Internal Jumpers and Connectors The pin headers on the motherboard are often associated with important functions. With the shunt (Jumper) pushed down on the designated pins (the pin numbers are printed on the circuit board, surrounding the pin header), certain feature can be enabled or disabled. While changing the jumpers, make sure your system is turned off.
