1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: IMBA-C604EP
The IMBA-C604EP is an ATX server board. It accepts a Socket LGA2011 Intel® Xeon®
E5 Series processor (up to 8 cores) and supports eight 240-pin 1600/1333 MHz DDR3
DIMM modules.
The IMBA-C604EP is designed to support PCIe Gen 3.0 specifications with up to 40 lanes
at 8 GT/s I/O bandwidth. In addition, the IMBA-C604EP provides server management
function through the IPMI 2.0 and iKVM support.
The IMBA-C604EP is equipped with one VGA display output. Expansion and I/O include
four PCIe x8 slots, two USB 3.0, eleven USB 2.0, four SAS 3Gb/s connectors, two SATA
6Gb/s connectors, four SATA 3Gb/s connectors and one COM port.
