It should be free of marks and scratches and in perfect working order upon receipt. As you unpack the AIMB-503, 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-503 is designed with the Intel B85/H81 for industrial applications that require both performance computing and enhanced power management capabilities. The motherboard supports Intel Core i7-4770S 3.1 GHz/Core i5-4570S 2.9 GHz/Core i7- 4770TE 2.3 GHz/Core i5-4570TE 2.7 GHz/Core i3-4330 3.5 GHz/ Pentium G3320TE 2.3 GHz processor up to 8 MB L3 cache and DDR3 1333/1600 up to 16 GB.
USB port: Supports up to 4 USB 3.0, 7 USB 2.0 ports with transmission rates up to 5G/480 Mbps. GPIO: AIMB-503 supports 8-bit GPIO from super I/O for general purpose con- trol application. 1.3.4 Graphics Controller: Intel® HD Graphics ...
Jumpers and Connectors Connectors on the AIMB-503 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.

Jumper position for 12V 1.8.8 JCASE1: Case Open Sensor The AIMB-503 motherboard contains a jumper that provides a chassis open sensor. The buzzer on the motherboard beeps when the case is opened. System Memory AIMB-503 has two 240-pin memory sockets for 1333/1600 MHz memory modules with maximum capacity of 16GB (Maximum 8GB for each DIMM).
USB Ports (LAN1_USB45/LAN2_USB12/USB3/ USB67/USB89/USB1011) The AIMB-503 provides up to 11 USB ports. The USB interface complies with USB Specification Rev 2.0 supporting transmission rates up to 5G/480 Mbps. The USB interface can be disabled in the system BIOS setup.
USB Power Switch AIMB-503 allows users to set USB power between +5VSB and +5V. When the jumper is set as 2-3, do not tick "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby" under device manager (as below figure 2.1) if users do not request to have the board wake up from S3 via USB device keyboard or mouse.
VGA1/ DVI-D DP1 Connector VGA+DVI1 AIMB-503 includes VGA,DVI and DP interfaces that can drive conventional VGA,DVI and DP displays. VGA is a standard 15-pin D-SUB connector commonly used for VGA. Pin assignments for VGA,DVI and DP connectors are detailed in Appendix B.
COM7/8/9/10 COM3/4/5/6 COM2 AIMB-503 supports ten serial ports. COM1. COM2. COM4-6. COM8-10 supports RS- 232. COM3 & COM7 supports RS-232/422/485 (supports RS-485 auto flow control). JSETCOM3 & JSETCOM7 is used to select the RS-232/422/485 mode for COM3 & COM7. COM1 & COM2 is with selectable 5V/12V power..
