2 serial ports, 4 USB 3.2 Gen2x1, 2 USB 2.0, 1 SATA III, and dual 2.5 GbE LAN ports along with 1 GbE LAN port. The AIMB-292 also offers flexible storage options with support for SATA HDDs, M.2 NVMe SSDs, and additional M.2 slots for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or LTE by option.
Jumpers and Connectors Connectors on the AIMB-292 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 the 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-292 User Manual...
Jumper position for 12V System Memory AIMB-292 has two sockets for a 262-pin DDR5 SODIMM. These sockets use a 1.2 V unbuffered double data rate synchronous DRAM (DDR SDRAM). DRAM is available in capacities of 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and 48GB. The sockets can take any combination with SODIMMs of any size, giving a total memory size between 8GB, 16GB, 64GB, up to max 96GB.
