Internal Connectors
8 K1 and K2 Motherboard, User Manual
Mainboard assembly variants
As mentioned above there are two motherboard variants: The K1 board
with Q87 chipset supporting AMT and RAID and the K2 board with H81
chipset as value edition supporting lesser features.
CPU support
Mainboard internal connectors and onboard features
Serial ports (internal)
K1 and K2 Motherboard, User Manual 9
COM2 -6 are configurable to standard or powered COM ports with an internal COM cable option (max current for powered COM: single port
300mA@5V; all ports together not more than 500mA@5V; single port
600mA@12V; all ports together not more than 900mA@12V).
Maximum voltage drop on 12V is 300mV, on 5V it is 150mV at full load.
This output is designed according to UL regulations and is protected by a
self-resettable fuse.
COM1 is a standard 9 pin DSUB connector in I/O shield supporting “WAKE
On Ring” functionality.
2x 6 pin header, 2.54 mm pitch
USB 2.0 (internal)
8 USB ports at K1 board and 4 USB ports at K2 are routed to 10pin double
row headers with 2.54 mm pitch. Each header provides 2 ports. These
headers are intended to connect optional front USB modules or USB hubs.
Two USB ports share one fuse. USB port 11 at header USB3 (pins 1,3,5,7)
is shared with PCIe x1 connector PCIE3 (pins A5 to A8) for USB uplink
connection for the "Retail Card".
10 K1 and K2 Motherboard, User Manual
Mini PCI Express
The mainboard provides a full size mini PCI Express (rev.1.1) / mSATA
connector. It is placed on top, thus being accessable without removing
other components. It supports LPC signals including serial interrupts. Auto
detection by mSATA presence detect supports automated switch between
mSATA and PCIe functionality (PCIe functionality only supported in
conjunction with Q87 chipset according to mini PCI Express Standard
Rev 1.1). The K1 motherboard supports PCIe and mSATA functionality,
the K2 motherboard supports mSATA functionality only.
Connector type : Standard MiniPCIe 1.1 connector full size
K1 and K2 Motherboard, User Manual 11
Memory (internal)
PWM control signal (only
4 pin connector)
The mainboard provides two DDR3 SODIMM sockets supporting up to
16GB in dual channel mode. The horizontal mounting of the SODIMM sockets ensures an optimal air flow.
SATA (internal)
The mainboard provides three standard SATA ports. The ports SATA1
(white) and SATA2 (blue) supporting SATA III connectivity speed.
Port SATA3 (black) supports SATA III speed at K1 board, and SATA II
speed at K2 board. The RAID functionality is only supported by the K1
motherboard.
Fan (internal)
The mainboard provides two fan connectors. The CPU fan connector supports PWM fans with 4 pin connection.
Connector details are: 2.54mm (.100") Pitch Vertical Header, with Friction
Lock, 4 (3) Circuits, PC Tail Length: 3.50mm (.138"). Molex Part Nr: 470531000 or similar. The connector follows the Intel “4-Wire Pulse Width
Modulation (PWM) Controlled Fans” specification.
PWM Fan
The PSU fan connector has 3 pin connection with DC fan speed regulation.
DC Fan
12 K1 and K2 Motherboard, User Manual
Chassis intrusion connector (internal)
Intrusion input (switch to GND
if chassis is open)
The mainboard supports a chassis intrusion connector.
Type: 3 pin shrouded header, B3B-PH-K-S (JST) or equivalent.
Front panel connector (internal)
The mainboard supports a front panel connector to support service
elements (like POWER ON pushbutton, HDD and power LEDs).
The Power LED at the chassis front connected to this front panel header
is green when system is powered on (S0). During Stand By (S3) it blinks
green and when system is in hibernation (S4) or powered down (S5) the
LED is orange.
The BIOS is able to disable the power button. This feature is automatically
enabled when "Follow AC power" is selected within the BIOS setup. Then it
is not possible to switch off the system by the power button, even when
pressed longer than 4s. But when the OS is shut down correctly, system
can be switched on again by the power button.
The front panel header also supports speaker connection.
K1 and K2 Motherboard, User Manual 13
Type: 2x6 pin header, 2.54 mm pitch.
ATX / 12V Power connector (internal)
The mainboard provides a 4 pin and a 24 pin ATX power connector.
A 20 pin ATX power cable can be plugged into the 24 pin connector on the
motherboard, too. In this case the pins 11,12,23 and 24 are not used and
14 K1 and K2 Motherboard, User Manual
left open. The 4 pin ATX power connector has to be connected to the PSU
anyway, otherwise the motherboard will not work.
LPT (internal)
Connector type: 26 pin shrouded header, 2.54mm pitch
TPM
The mainboard supports one dedicated TPM port. This connector slot is
placed on top and is accessable without removing any other components.
