1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: KINO-AH611
The KINO-AH611 is a Mini-ITX motherboard. It accepts an LGA1155 Intel® Core™
i7/i5/i3/Pentium®/Celeron® processor and supports two 204-pin 1066/1333 MHz
dual-channel DDR3 SO-DIMM modules up to 16 GB.
The integrated Intel® H61 System Chipset supports two GbE LAN ports through dual
Realtek RTL8111E PCIe GbE controllers (with ASF 2.0 support). The KINO-AH611 also
supports three SATA 3Gb/s drives.
The KINO-AH611 includes a dual VGA and dual HDMI port. Expansion and I/O include
one PCI x16 slot, one half-size PCIe Mini card slot, six USB 2.0 ports on the rear panel
and two USB 2.0 ports by pin header. Serial device connectivity is provided by two
external RS-232 connectors.
