PCIe®specifications
The primary I/O bus for the main board is PCIe Gen2. The following table lists the characteristics of the
PCI-E bus segments. Details about each bus segment follow the table.
NOTE: The signaling bit rate of PCI Express is 2.5Gbit/s one direction per lane for Gen 1 and 5.0Gbit/s one
direction per lane for Gen 2.

Memory Identification
Generally, there are some memory information printed on the label of DIMM, but different vendor may have
different format. For example:
4GB 2Rx4 PC3-10600R xx xx xxx
1. Density
1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB
2. Rank
1R = Single Rank
2R = Dual Rank
4R = Quad Rank
Note: if any quad rank DIMM is used, maximum only 2 DIMM per channel can be supported
3. Bit Organization
This platform supports x8
Note: It’s not recommend to mix DIMM with different bit organization in one system
4. Speed
PC3 – 8500 => DDR3- 1066
PC3 – 10600 => DDR3- 1333
PC3 – 12800 => DDR3- 1600
