1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: KINO-HM551
The KINO-HM551 motherboard is a Socket G1 32nm Intel® Core™ i3, i5 and i7 processor
platform. One 4.0 GB 800 MHz or 1066 MHz DDR3 SDRAM SO-DIMM is supported by
the KINO-HM551.
The integrated Intel® HM55 Express Chipset supports two GbE LAN ports through dual
Realtek RTL8111E Ethernet controllers (ASF 2.0 support on LAN1). The KINO-HM551
also supports four SATA 3Gb/s drives and provides 5 V SATA power.
The KINO-HM551 supports dual display via VGA, HDMI and an internal LVDS connector.
Eight USB 2.0 channels and two PCIe Mini expansion sockets provide flexible expansion
options. High Definition Audio (HDA) support ensures HDA devices can be easily
implemented on the KINO-HM551. Serial device connectivity is provided by three internal
RS-232, one external RS-232, and two internal RS-232/422/485 connectors.
