1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: IMBA-C2260-i2
The IMBA-C2260-i2 is an ATX motherboard. It accepts a Socket LGA1150 Intel® Xeon®
E3, Core™ i3, Pentium® or Celeron® processor and supports four 240-pin
1600/1333 MHz dual-channel DDR3 DIMM modules up to 32 GB.
The IMBA-C2260-i2 provides two GbE interfaces through the Intel® I217 (with Intel® AMT
9.0 support) and the Intel® I210 PCIe controllers. The integrated Intel® C226 chipset
supports six SATA 6Gb/s drives. In addition, the IMBA-C2260-i2 includes VGA and iDP
interfaces for dual independent display.
Expansion and I/O include two PCI slots, one PCIe x16 slot with x8 signal, two PCIe x4
slots, two PCIe x1 slots, four USB 3.0 and four USB 2.0 on the rear panel, four USB 2.0 by
pin headers, six COM ports and one mSATA card slot. High Definition Audio (HDA)
support ensures HDA devices can be easily implemented on the IMBA-C2260-i2.
