1.3.1.2 DisplayPort*
DisplayPort is a digital c ommunication interface that utilizes differential signali ng to
achieve a high bandwidth bus interfac e designed to support connections between PCs
and monitors, projectors, and TV displays. DisplayPo rt is suitable for display
connections betw een co n sum er el ectr on ics devices such as high definition optical disc
players, set top boxes, and TV displays. DisplayPort output can also be converted to
HDMI using a DisplayPort-HDMI converter. The DisplayPort interface supports the
1.2 specification, including Multi-Stream Transport (MST) for monitor daisy-chaining.
DisplayPort’s maximum supported disp lay re solution is 3840 x 2160 @ 60Hz.

1.3.1.4 High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)
HDCP is the technology for protecting high definition content against unauthorized
copy or interception between a source (computer, digital set top boxes, etc.) and the
sink (panels, monitor, and TVs). The PCH supports HDCP 1.4 for content protection
over wired displays (DVI and DisplayPort).
1.3.1.5 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.
1.3.1.6 Digital Visual Interface (DVI-D)
The DVI-D port supports only digital DVI displays. The maximum supported resolution
is 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz refresh (WUXGA). The DVI-D port is compliant with the
DVI 1.0 specification.
1.3.1.7 Multiple Display Configurations
The following multiple display config uratio n modes are s upport ed (with appropriate
driver software):
• Single Display is a mode with one display port activated to display the output to
one display device.
• Intel
• Extended Desktop is a mode with up to three display ports activate d to drive the

Product Description
1.3.1.8 PCI Express Graphics
4th generation Intel Core proces sors support PCI Express 3.0, 2.x, and 1.x:
• PCI Express 3.0 with a raw bit rate of 8.0 GT/s results in an effective bandwidth of
1 GB/s each direction per lane. The maximum theoretical bandwidth of the x16
interface is 16 GB/s in each direction, simultaneously, for a total bandwidth of
32 GB/s.
• PCI Express 2.x with a raw bit rate of 5.0 GT/s results in an effective bandwidth of
500 MB/s each direction per lane. The maximum theoretical bandwidth of the x16
interface is 8 GB/s in each direction, simultane ously, for a total bandwidth of
16 GB/s.
• PCI Express 1.x with a raw bit rate of 2.5 GT/s results in an effective bandwidth of
250 MB/s each direction per lane. The maximum theoretical bandwidth of the x16
interface is 4 GB/s in each direction, simultane ously, for a total bandwidth of
8 GB/s.

1.4 System Memory
The board has four DIMM sockets and supports the following memory features:
• 1.5 V DDR3 SDRAM DIMMs with gold plated contacts, with the option to raise the
voltage to support higher performance DDR3 SDRAM DIMMs.
• 1.35 V Low Voltage DDR3 DIMMs (JEDEC specification)
• Two independent memory channels with interleaved mode support
• Unbuffered, sin gl e-sided or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction:
DIMMs with x16 organization are not supported.
• 32 GB maximum total system memory (with 4 Gb memory technology). Refer to
Section 2.1.1 on page 47 for information on the total amount of addressable
memory.
• Minimum recommended total system memory: 1 GB
• Non-ECC DIMMs
• Serial Presence Detect
• DDR3 1600 MHz, DDR3 1333 MHz, and DDR3 1066 MHz SDRAM DIMMs
• XMP version 1.3 performance profile support for memory speeds of 1600 MHz or
lower
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 fr eq u en cy.
Table 5 lists the supported DIMM configurations.

1.4.1 Memory Configurations
4th generation Intel Core proces sors 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 applicat ions. 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 othe r. If different speed DIMMs are
used between channels, the slowest memory timing will be used.
• Flex mode. This mode provides the most flexible performance characteristics.
The bottommost DRAM memory (the memory that is lowes t within the system
memory map) is mapped to dual channel operation; the to pm ost DRAM memory
(the memory that is nearest to the 8 GB address space limit), if any, is mapped to
single channel operation. Flex mode results in multiple zones of dual and single
channel operation across the whole of DRAM memory. To use flex mode, it is
necessary to populate b oth channels.

The PCH contains up to two Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI) host controllers
that support USB high-speed signaling. High-speed USB 2.0 allows data transfers up to
480 Mb/s. All ports are high-speed, fu l l-speed, and low-speed capable.
The PCH also contains an integrated eXtensible Host Controller Interface (xHCI) host
controller which supports USB 3.0 ports. This controller allows data transfers up to
5 Gb/s. The controller supports SuperSpeed (SS), high-speed (HS), full-speed (FS),
and low-speed (LS) traffic on the bus.
The Intel Q87 Express Chipset provides the USB controller for the USB 2.0/3.0 ports.
The port arrangement is as follows:
• USB 3.0 ports:
Four USB 3.0 ports are implemented with stacked back panel connectors
Two front panel USB 3.0 ports are implemented through one internal connector
• USB 2.0 ports:
Two ports are implemented with stacked back panel connectors
Six front panel ports are implemented through three dual-port internal headers
NOTE
Computer systems that have an unshielded ca b le a ttached 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.

Product Description
1.6 Real-Time Clock Subsystem
A coin-cell battery (CR2032) powers the real-time clock and CMOS memory. When
the computer is not plugged into a wall socket, the battery has an estimated life of
three years. When the computer is plugged in, the standby current from the power
supply extends the life of the battery. The c lock is accurate to ± 13 minutes/year at
25 ºC with 3.3 VSB applied via the power supply 5V STBY rail.
NOTE
If the battery and AC power fail, date and time values will be reset and the user will be
notified during the POST.
When the voltage drops below a certain level, the BIOS Setup program settings stored
in CMOS RAM (for example, the date and time) might not be accurate. Replace the
battery with an equivalent one. Figure 1 on page 13 shows the location of the battery.
1.7 Super I/O Controller
The I/O controller provides the following features:
• One serial port connector
• One back panel parallel port (with Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) and Enhanced
Parallel Port (EPP) support)

• Serial IRQ interface compatible with serialized IRQ support for PCI systems
• Intelligent power management, including a program mable wake-up event interface
• Conventional PCI bus power m anagement support
The BIOS Setup program provides configuration options for the I/O controller.
