1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: gKINO-DMF
The gKINO-DMF series is a Mini-ITX form factor single bard computer. It has an on-board
AMD RX-421BD or RX-216GD processor, and supports two 260-pin 2400 MHz
dual-channel DDR4 ECC unbuffered SDRAM SO-DIMM slots with up to 64.0 GB of
memory.
The gKINO-DMF series includes two external HDMI 1.4 connectors and one external
Dual-mode DisplayPort (DisplayPort++) connector for triple independent display which
support up to 4K resolution.
Expansion and I/O include one PCIe x8 slot, one PCIe Mini slot, one M.2 B-key slot for
expansion, four USB 3.0 connectors on the rear panel, four USB 2.0 connectors by pin
header and two SATA 6Gb/s connectors. Serial device connectivity is provided by two
internal RS-232 connectors, two internal RS-232/422/485 connectors and two ccTalk
connectors. Two RJ-45 GbE connectors provide the system with smooth connections to
an external LAN.
