1.1 Introduction
KINO-AH611
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.

2.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING!
Static electricity can destroy certain electronics. Make sure to follow the
ESD precautions to prevent damage to the product, and injury to the
user.
Make sure to adhere to the following guidelines:
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing an anti-static wristband can prevent
electrostatic discharge.
Self-grounding : Touch a grounded conductor every few minutes to discharge
any excess static buildup.
KINO-AH611
Use an anti-static pad : When configuring any circuit board, place it on an
anti-static mat.
Only handle the edges of the PCB : Don't touch the surface of the
motherboard. Hold the motherboard by the edges when handling.
2.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the KINO-AH611 is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the antistatic guidelines above.
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards when opening.
Make sure all the packing list items are present.
