1.1 Introduction
KINO-QM57A Mini-ITX SBC
Figure 1-1: KINO-QM57A
The KINO-QM57A Mini-ITX motherboard is a Socket G 32nm Intel® Core i5
and Core i7 processor (Arrandale) platform. Up to two 4.0 GB 800 MHz or 1066 MHz
DDR3 SDRAM SO-DIMM are supported by the Intel® Arrandale processor. The proce ssor
also supports a PCIe x16 slot.
The integrated Intel® QM57 Express Chipset supports two GbE LAN through the Intel®
82577 Ethernet controller (with iAMT 6.0 support) and the Intel® 82574L Ethernet
controller. The Intel® QM57 also supports six SATA 3Gb/s drives and provides 12 V or
5 V SATA power.
The KINO-QM57A supports multiple display devices, including 18-bit or 24-bit
dual-channel LVDS, analog CRT, and dual HDMI. Eight USB 2.0 channels and one
expansion PCIe mini socket provide flexible expansion options. High Definition Audio
(HDA) support ensures HDA devices can be easily implemented on the KINO-QM57A.

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-QM57A Mini-ITX SBC
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring any circuit board, place it on an
anti-static mat.
