1.1Introduction
The AIMB-766 is the most advanced Intel Q35 product for industrial applications that require high-performance computing. The motherboard supports Intel Core 2 Duo / Core 2 Quad / Pentium Dual Core / Celeron processors with 800/1066/1333 MHz front side bus and DDR2 667/ 800 MHz memory up to 8 GB.
The AIMB-766 incorporates the Intel Q35 chipset to offer cost-effective integrated graphics. The Q35 chipset uses the Intel Extreme Graphics architecture (GMA 3100) to maximize VGA performance and share up to 256 MB of system memory. When higher graphics performance is needed, the AIMB-766 provides a mainstream PCIe x16 expansion slot for add-on graphic cards. In addition, the AIMB-766 has a single/ dual Gigabit Ethernet LAN via a dedicated PCIe x1 bus, which offers bandwidth of up to 500 MB/s, eliminating network bottlenecks. High reliability and outstanding perfor- mance make the AIMB-766 the idea platform for industrial networking applications.
By using the Intel ICH9 DO chipset, the AIMB-766 offers four 32-bit, 33 MHz PCI slots; two PCIe x1 slot, one PCIe x16 slot and a variety of features such as 6 on- board SATA II interfaces (bandwidth = 300 MB/s) with software for RAID 0, 1, 10 and 5; 12 USB 2.0 connections; 1 ATA 100/66/33 port; and HD Audio. These powerful I/O capabilities ensure even more reliable data storage capabilities and high-speed I/O peripheral connectivity.
The AIMB-766 also adopts Advantech’s unique patented “Sleep Mode Control Cir- cuit” for AT Power Mode.
With all the excellent features and outstanding performance, the AIMB-766 is defi- nitely the ideal platform for today’s industrial applications.
