Introduction AIMB-286 is designed with the Intel® H310 PCH for industrial applications that require both performance computing and enhanced power management capabilities. The motherboard supports Intel desktop Corei7/i5/i3/Pentium/Celeron processors, up to 12 MB SmartCache, and 2 x DDR4 2666MHz SO-DIMMs up to 32 GB. Multiple I/O consists of 6 x serial ports, 4 x USB 3.0 + 4 USB 2.0, 3 x GbE LAN, 3 x SATA III, 1 x NGFF (M.2_E key) and 1 x NGFF (M.2_B Key).
Jumpers and Connectors Connectors on the AIMB-286 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.
Safety Precautions Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from chassis whenever you work with the hardware. Do not make connections while the power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sudden power surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis.
Jumper Settings This section provides instructions on how to configure your motherboard by setting the jumpers. It also includes the motherboard's default settings and your options for each jumper. 1.8.1 How to Set Jumpers You can configure your motherboard to match the needs of your application by set- ting the jumpers.

1.11 Cache Memory The AIMB-286 supports a CPU with one of the following built-in full speed last level caches: 12MB for Intel Core i7-8700/ i7-8700T 9MB for Intel Core i5-8500/ i5-8500T 6MB for Intel Core i3-8100/ i3-8100T 4MB for Pentium G5400/ G5400T 2MB for Celeron G4900/ G4900T The built-in second-level cache in the processor yields much higher performance than conventional external cache memories.
Introduction You can access most of the connectors from the top of the board as it is being installed in the chassis. If you have a number of cards installed or have a packed chassis, you may need to partially remove the card to make all the connections. LAN + USB Ports (LAN1/2/3, USB12, USB34) The AIMB-286 provides up to 8 x USB ports.
DP + HDMI Connector (DP1 + HDMI1) Serial Ports (COM1~COM6) COM1/2 COM3456 COM3456 COM1/2 AIMB-286 supports six serial ports, COM1/4/5/6 supports 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.

4.2.1.2 Display Brightness Control The Brightness Control API allows a developer to access embedded devices and easily control brightness. Backlight The Backlight API allows a developer to control the backlight (screen) on/off in embedded devices. 4.2.1.3 Monitor Watchdog A watchdog timer (WDT) is a device that performs a specific operation after a certain period of time if something goes wrong and the system does not recover on its own.
4.2.2 Software Utility BIOS Flash The BIOS Flash utility allows customers to update the flash ROM BIOS version, or use it to back up current BIOS by copying it from the flash chip to a file on customers’ disk. The BIOS Flash utility also provides a command line version and an API for fast implementation into custom- ized applications.
To facilitate the installation of the enhanced display drivers and utility software, read the instructions in this chapter carefully. The drivers for the AIMB-286 are located on the Advantech support website: http://support.advantech.com/Support/. The drivers on the support website will guide and link you to the utilities and drivers under a Win- dows system.
Introduction The 8th Gen Intel Core i processors are embedded with an integrated graphics con- troller. You need to install the VGA driver to enable the function. Optimized integrated graphic solution: Intel Graphics Flexible supports versatile dis- play options and a 32-bit 3D graphics engine. Dual independent displays include enhanced display modes for widescreen flat panels for, extended, twin, clone and dual display modes, and optimized 3D support delivers an intensive and realistic visual experience.
Introduction The AIMB-286 has three Gigabit Ethernet LANs via dedicated PCI Express x1 lanes (Realtek 8111H (LAN1/2) and Intel i211AT (LAN3)) that offer bandwidth of up to 500 MB/sec, eliminating the bottleneck of network data flow and incorporating Gigabit Ethernet at 1000 Mbps.
