1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: KINO-ABT-i2
The KINO-ABT-i2 is a Mini-ITX form factor single bard computer. It has an on-board 22nm
Intel® Atom™ or Celeron® processor, and supports one/two 204-pin 1333/1066 MHz
dual-channel unbuffered DDR3 Low Voltage (DDR3L) SDRAM SO-DIMM with up to
4.0 GB / 8.0 GB of memory.
The KINO-ABT-i2 features Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) that helps
lower the overall costs of server management by enabling users to maximize IT resource,
save time and manage multiple systems. The KINO-ABT-i2 supports IPMI 2.0 through the
optional iRIS-2400 module.
The KINO-ABT-i2 includes one VGA port and one HDMI port for dual independent display.
It also has an internal DisplayPort (iDP) connector supporting HDMI, LVDS, VGA, DVI and
DisplayPort displays with up to 3840 x 2160 resolutions. Expansion and I/O include one
PCIe x4 slot (with PCIe x1 signal), one PCIe Mini slot, two USB 3.0 ports plus two USB 2.0
on the rear panel, four USB 2.0 by pin header, two SATA 3Gb/s connectors, five RS-232
serial ports, and one RS-422/485 connector.
