1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: IMBA-C604EN
The IMBA-C604EN is an ATX server motherboard. It accepts a socket LGA1356 Intel®
Xeon® E5-2400 series processor with up to eight cores and supports six 240-pin
1600/1333MHz dual-channel DDR3 SDRAM sockets supported ECC UDIMMs or
non-ECC RDIMMs/LRDIMMs (system max. 48GB UDIMMs/96GB RDIMMs/192GB
LRDIMMs).
The integrated Intel® C604 system chipset supports two GbE LAN ports through dual
Intel® 82574L PCIe controllers.
The IMBA-C604EN includes a VGA port. Expansion and I/O include two PCI slots, one
PCIe x4 slot, three PCIe x8 slots, two USB 3.0 ports on the rear panel, four USB 2.0 on
the rear panel, six USB 2.0 by pin header, one USB 2.0 by internal type A port, two SATA
3Gb/s connectors, two SATA 6Gb/s connectors, four SAS 3Gb/s connectors. Serial device
connectivity is provided by eight internal RS-232 connectors, one external RS-232
connector and one internal RS-232/422/485 connector.
