1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: IMBA-H310
The IMBA-H310 is an ATX motherboard. It accepts a Socket LGA1151 8th/9th Gen. Intel®
Core™ i9/i7/i5/i3, Pentium®or Celeron®processor and supports two 288-pin
2666/2400 MHz dual-channel DDR4 DIMMs up to 64 GB.
The IMBA-H310 provides two GbE interfaces through the Intel®I219LM PHY and the
Intel®I211AT PCIe controllers. The integrated Intel®H310 chipset supports four
SATA 6Gb/s drives. In addition, the IMBA-H310 includes DVI-D, VGA and internal
DisplayPort interfaces for triple independent display.
Expansion and I/O include four PCI slots, one PCIe x16 slot, one PCIe x4 slot, four
USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gb/s) and two USB 2.0 on the rear panel, two USB 2.0 by pin headers,
five RS-232 and one RS-232/422/485. High Definition Audio (HDA) support ensures
HDA devices can be easily implemented on the IMBA-H310.
