It should be free of marks and scratches and in perfect working order upon receipt. As you unpack the AIMB-502, check it for signs of ship- ping damage. (For example, damaged box, scratches, dents, etc.) If it is damaged or it fails to meet the specifications, notify our service department or your local sales representative immediately.
Introduction AIMB-502 is designed with the Intel Q77/C216 for industrial applications that require both performance computing and enhanced power management capabilities. The motherboard supports Intel Core i7 3770 3.4GHz/ Core i5 3550S 3.0 GHz/ Core i3 3220 3.3 GHz Pentium G850 2.9 GHz/Celeron G540 2.5 GHz processor up to 8 MB L3 cache and DDR3 1333/1600 up to 32GB.
Mbps and 4 USB 3.0 ports with transmission rates up to 5 Gbps. GPIO: AIMB-502 supports 14-bit GPIO from super I/O for general purpose con- trol application and 6 bit non-programmable GPIO via Phoenix connector on rear side and 8 bit programmable GPIO by pin header on board.
Jumpers and Connectors Connectors on the AIMB-502 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.
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 setting jumpers. AIMB-502 User Manual...
1.8.2 CMOS Clear (CMOS1) The AIMB-502 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.
However, the BIOS ME function does not keep the link/remote control after the BIOS been updated. 1.8.6 JCASE1: Case Open Sensor The AIMB-502 motherboard contains a jumper that provides a chassis open sensor. The buzzer on the motherboard beeps when the case is opened. AIMB-502 User Manual...
1.11 Cache Memory The AIMB-502 supports a CPU with one of the following built-in full speed L3 caches: 8MB for Intel Xeon E3 1275v2 8MB for Intel Xeon E3 1275...
LAN / USB Ports (LAN1_USB01/LAN2_USB23/ USB89) The AIMB-502 provides up to 12 USB ports. The USB interface complies with USB Specification Rev 2.0 supporting transmission rates up to 480 Mbps and Rev 3.0 sup- porting transmission rate up to 5 Gbps with fuse protection. The USB interface can be disabled in the system BIOS setup.
Mic In VGA/DVI-D Connector (VGA1+DVI 1) Connector AIMB-502 includes VGA and DVI interfaces that can drive conventional VGA and DVI displays. VGA is a standard 15-pin D-SUB connector commonly used for VGA. Pin assignments for VGA and DVI connectors are detailed in Appendix B.
Serial Ports (COM1~COM6) AIMB-502 supports six serial ports. COM1 supports RS-485 and 6 bit non-progam- mable GPIO (4 in, 2 out) and COM2 - 6 support RS-232. COM 5, 6 support 5V/12V power (JSETCOM5_V1, JSETCOM6_V1 is used to select for 5V/12V power).
Due to GPIO limitation, only 2 system fan speed could be read and showed on BIOS section; SYSFAN 1 & 2 are one pair with the same fan speed, and SYSFAN 3 & 4 are one pair with the same fan speed. AIMB-502 User Manual...
External speaker (JFP1/SPEAKER) JFP1/SPEAKER is a 4-pin connector for an external speaker. If there is no external speaker, the AIMB-502 provides an onboard buzzer as an alternative. To enable the buzzer, set pins 7 & 10 as closed. AIMB-502 User Manual...

AIMB-502 features a high performance Serial ATA interface (up to 300 MB/s) and Serial ATA III interface (up to 600 MB/s) which eases hard drive cabling with thin, space-saving cables. Note! AIMB-502 on board SATA only supports Fedora 14 and 15 and SATA mode in BIOS should be set as AHCI mode.
PCI Express x16 Slot (QG2: 1 slot/WG2: 2 slots) AIMB-502 provides 1 x PCIe x16 slot (QG2 sku) or 2 x PCIe x16 slots with PCIe x8 signal (WG2 sku) support Gen3 speed slot for users to install add-on cards when their applications require higher graphic performance than the CPU embedded graphics controller can provide.
I/O module cable. Note! For motherboards with the optional HD Audio feature, we recommend that you connect a high-definition front panel audio module to this con- nector to take advantage of the motherboard’s high definition audio capability. AIMB-502 User Manual...
Please connect the ATX12V1 connector with the PSU ATX 12V 4- pin connector. For a fully configured system, we recommend that you use a power supply unit (PSU) that complies with ATX 12 V Specification 2.0 (or later version) and provides a minimum power of 180 W. AIMB-502 User Manual...
BIOS Setup The AIMB-502 Series system has AMI BIOS built in, with a SETUP utility that allows users to configure required settings or to activate certain system features. The SETUP saves the configuration in the FLASH of the motherboard. When the power is turned off, the battery on the board supplies the necessary power to pre- serve the FLASH.
