1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: PCIE-Q870-i2
The PCIE-Q870-i2 is a PICMG 1.3 CPU card. It accepts a Socket LGA1150 Intel® Core™
i7/i5/i3, Pentium® or Celeron® processor and supports four 240-pin 1600/1333 MHz
dual-channel DDR3 DIMM modules up to 32 GB.
The PCIE-Q870-i2 provides two GbE interfaces through the Intel® I217LM (with Intel®
AMT 9.0 support) and the Intel® I210 PCIe controllers. The integrated Intel® Q87 chipset
supports six SATA 6Gb/s drives. In addition, the PCIE-Q870-i2 includes VGA and iDP
interfaces for dual independent display.
Two USB 3.0 on the rear panel, two USB 3.0 by pin header, four USB 2.0 by pin headers,
four USB 2.0 by pin headers on backplane, four RS-232 and one PCIe Mini interface with
mSATA support provide flexible expansion options. High Definition Audio (HDA) support
ensures HDA devices can be easily implemented on the PCIE-Q870-i2.
