Important Tips:
1) Motherboard default HDMI+VGA+LVDS+6COM+10USB+1LAN;
2) Motherboard VGA port and DP port two for one choice port ,default support VGA port,can
change support DP port;DP port support 4K resolution 4096/3840*2160@60Hz;
3) Motherboard LVDS pin and EDP pin is two for one choice pin ,by default support LVDS pin,
can change support EDP pin;EDP support 4K resolution 4096/3840*2160@60Hz;
4) Motherboard HDMI port support 4K resolution 4096/3840*2160@30Hz;
5) Motherboard by default support M.2 2280,can choose M.2 2242;Support SATA protocal or
NVME (PCIE)protocal M.2 disk,default support 2types signal;
6) Motherboard MINI-PCIE by default support PCIE signal and USB signal coexist, by default
F_USB2 2/4/6/8/10 pin has no signal,MINI-PCIE USB signal and F_USB2 signal two for one
choice, in which PCIE signal can change to SATA signal,support MSATA disk, SATA1 interface
after the change no signal;
7) Motherboard blue USB port and pin support USB3.1 Gen2,the max transmission broadband
is10.0Gbps;
8) External USB ports and all USB pins will be A power by default (with electricity after shutdown),
all can change to S power (without electricity after shutdown);later manufacture the board
default all USB port and pin will be S power;
9) Motherboard support 6 COM port,can choose 2 COM,COM2~COM6 support RS232;COM1
support RS232/RS422/RS485 optional setting through BIOS;
10) Motherboard COM1 and COM2 can set the 9th pin to output 0V/5V/12V through JCOM1 and
JCOM2 jumping cap respectively, with the default 0V;
11) The motherboard supports single gigabit network port by default, which can be changed to
double gigabit network port;
12) Motherboard only support 12V power supply,not support 19V power supply
