1.4 Processor
The board is designed to support the Intel Core i7, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i3, and
Intel Pentium processors in an LGA1155 socket.
Other processors may be supported in the future. This board is designed to support
processors with a maximum TDP of 95 W. See the Intel web site listed below for the
most up-to-date list of supported processors.
For information about… Refer to:
Supported processors http://processormatch.intel.com
CAUTION
Use only the processors listed on the web site above. Use of unsupported processors
can damage the board, the processor, and the power supply.
NOTE
This board has specific requirements for providing power to the processor. Refer to
Section 2.6.1 on page 56 for information on power supply requirements for this board.

Product Description
1.5 Intel
The Intel H61 Express Chipset consisting of the Intel H61 Platform Controller Hub
(PCH) provides interfaces to the processor and the USB, SATA, LPC, audio, network,
display, and PCI Express. The PCH is a centralized controller for the board’s I/O paths.

1.6 System Memory
The board has two DIMM sockets and supports the following memory features:
• Two independent memory channels with interleaved mode support
• Supports 1.2 V – 1.8 V DIMM memory voltage
• Support for non-ECC, unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with x8
organization
• 16 GB maximum total system memory (with 4 Gb memory technology). Refer to
Section 2.1.1 on page 39 for information on the total amount of addressable
memory.
• Minimum total system memory: 1 GB using 1 Gb x8 module
• Serial Presence Detect
• DDR3 1333 MHz and DDR3 1066 MHz SDRAM DIMMs
NOTE
To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR SDRAM memory specifications, the board
should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data
structure. This allows the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to
accurately configure memory settings for optimum performance. If non-SPD memory
is installed, the BIOS will attempt to correctly configure the memory settings, but
performance and reliability may be impacted or the DIMMs may not function under the
determined frequency.

1.6.1 Memory Configurations
The Intel Core i7, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i3, and Intel Pentium processors support the
following types of memory organization:
• Dual channel (Interleaved) mode. This mode offers the highest throughput for
real world applications. Dual channel mode is enabled when the installed memory
capacities of both DIMM channels are equal. Technology and device width can vary
from one channel to the other but the installed memory capacity for each channel
must be equal. If different speed DIMMs are used between channels, the slowest
memory timing will be used.
• Single channel (Asymmetric) mode. This mode is equivalent to single channel
bandwidth operation for real world applications. This mode is used when only a
single DIMM is installed or the memory capacities are unequal. Technology and
device width can vary from one channel to the other. If different speed DIMMs are
used between channels, the slowest memory timing will be used.

(Intel
NOTE
The board will support up to two integrated graphics interfaces plus one PCI Express
Graphics card simultaneously with required changes to the BIOS setup.
1.7.1.1 Analog Display (VGA)
The VGA port supports analog displays. The maximum supported resolution is 2048 x
1536 (QXGA) at a 75 Hz refresh rate. The VGA port is enabled for POST whenever a
monitor is attached, regardless of the DVI-D connector status.
FDI) for processors with Intel Graphics Technology.
1.7.1.2 Digital Visual Interface (DVI-D)
The DVI-D port supports only digital DVI displays. The maximum supported resolution
is 2048 x 1536 at 75 Hz refresh (QXGA). The DVI-D port is compliant with the DVI 1.0
specification.

• Eight USB 2.0 front panel ports are implemented through four dual-port internal
headers
All 12 USB ports are high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed capable. The USB 3.0 ports
are super-speed capable.
NOTE
Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port may not
meet FCC Class B requirements, even if no device is attached to the cable. Use a
shielded cable that meets the requirements for full-speed devices.

1.9 SATA Interfaces
The board provides six SATA connectors, which support one device per connector:
• Two internal SATA 6 Gb/s ports through the Marvell 88SE917X controller (blue)
• Four internal SATA 3 Gb/s ports (black)
The underlying SATA functionality is transparent to the operating system. The SATA
controller can operate in both legacy and native modes. In legacy mode, standard IDE
I/O and IRQ resources are assigned (IRQ 14 and 15). In Native mode, standard PCI
Conventional bus resource steering is used. Native mode is the preferred mode for
configurations using the Windows* XP, Windows Vista*, and Windows 7* operating
systems.

Product Description
1.11 Audio Subsystem
The board supports Intel High Definition Audio through the Realtek ALC892 audio
codec interface.
The Realtek ALC892-based audio subsystem supports the following features:
• 8+2-channel audio with independent multi-streaming stereo.
• Advanced jack sense for the back panel audio jacks that enables the audio codec to
recognize the device that is connected to an audio port. The back panel audio
jacks are capable of retasking according to the user’s definition, or can be
automatically switched depending on the recognized device type.
• Stereo input and output through back panel jacks
• Headphone and Mic in functions for front panel audio jacks
• S/PDIF audio header
• A signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of 90 dB
Table 4 lists the supported functions of the front panel and back panel audio jacks.

1.11.2 Audio Headers and Connectors
The board contains audio connectors and headers on both the back panel and the
component side of the board. The component-side audio headers include the
following:
• Front panel audio (a 2 x 5-pin header that provides headphone and mic in signals
for front panel audio connectors) (yellow)
• S/PDIF audio header (1 x 4-pin header) (yellow)
• Internal mono speaker header (1 x 2-pin header) (yellow)

Figure 4. Back Panel Audio Connector Options
The back panel audio connectors are configurable through the audio device drivers.
For information about Refer to
The back panel audio connectors Section 2.2.1, page 42
The front panel headphone output is supported using a separate audio channel pair
allowing multi-streaming audio configurations such as simultaneous 5.1 surround
playback and stereo audio conferencing (through back panel speakers and a front
panel headset, respectively).
1.11.2.2 S/PDIF Header
The S/PDIF header allows connections to coaxial or optical dongles for digital audio
output.
1.11.2.3 Internal Mono Speaker Header
The internal mono speaker header allows connection to an internal, low-power speaker
for basic system sound capability. The subsystem is capable of driving a speaker load
of 8 Ohms at 1 W (rms) or 4 Ohms at 1.5 W (rms).
