Technical specifications

PCIe®specifications

The primary I/O bus for the main board is PCIe Gen2. The following table lists the characteristics of the PCI-E

bus segments. Details about each bus segment follow the table.

NOTE: The signaling bit rate of PCI Express is 2.5Gbit/s one direction per lane for Gen 1 and 5.0Gbit/s one

direction per lane for Gen 2.

Expansion slot Number Type Bus

Voltage Connector Location Length

PCIe x16 3 PCIe Gen2 x8 3.3V x16 Riser, left Full height

PCIe x4 1 PCIe Gen2 x4 3.3V x4 Riser, right Low profile

PCIe x4 2 PCIe Gen2 x1 3.3V x4 Riser, right Low profile,

half-length

NOTE:

1. Indicates the number of physical electrical lanes running to a PCIe® connector.

2. Default bus assignment (in decimal). Inserting cards with PCI™ bridges may alter the actual bus assignment

number.

3. Slots are enumerated differently based on the operating system. Microsoft® operating systems enumerate

Device ID by bus starting from the lowest bus to the highest.

On-Line Spare

On-line spare is a RAS mechanism that allows the system to reserve one rank of one logical DIMM to be used

as a spare rank. The spare rank must be greater than or equal to the size of all other ranks in the system. The

system can switch to the spare rank when system software determines that one of the ranks in the system is

no longer functioning properly and needs to be replaced.

Memory Identification

Generally, there are some memory information printed on the label of DIMM, but different vendor may have

different format. For example:

4GB 2Rx4 PC3-10600R xx xx xxx

1. Density

1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB

2. Rank

1R = Single Rank

2R = Dual Rank

4R = Quad Rank

Note: if any quad rank DIMM is used, maximum only 2 DIMM per channel can be supported

3. Bit Organization

This platform supports x4 and x8

Note: It’s not recommend to mix DIMM with different bit organization in one system

4. Speed

PC3 – 6400 => DDR3- 800

PC3 – 8500 => DDR3- 1066

PC3 – 10600 => DDR3- 1333
