AIMB-785 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
AIMB-785 motherboard is the most advanced Intel Q170 board for industrial applica-
tions that require high-performance computing. The motherboard supports 6th and
7th generation Intel Core i7/i5/i3 and DDR4 1866/2133 MHz memory up to 64 GB.
AIMB-785 provides cost-effective integrated graphics with 1 GB VRAM max shared
memory and 2 GB or above system memory installed.
AIMB-785 provides triple display interfaces. Users can use the onboard VGA and the
other DVI ports at the same time. In addition, the AIMB-785 has dual Gigabit Ethernet
LAN via dedicated PCIe x1 bus, which offers bandwidth of up to 500 MB/s, eliminat-
ing network bottlenecks. High reliability and outstanding performance make the
AIMB-785 the ideal platform for industrial networking applications.
By using the Intel Q170 chipset, the AIMB-785 offers three 32-bit, 33 MHz PCI slots;
three PCIe x4 slot, one PCIe x16 slot and a variety of features such as 4 x onboard
SATA III interfaces (bandwidth = 600 MB/s) with software RAID (another two SATA
ports SATA0 and SAT1 from Marvell controller do not support software RAID); 6 x
USB 3.0 and 7 x USB 2.0 connectors and HD Audio. These powerful I/O capabilities
ensure even more reliable data storage capabilities and high-speed I/O peripheral
connectivity.
The AIMB-785 also adopts Advantech’s unique patented Sleep Mode Control Circuit
for AT Power Mode. With all the excellent features and outstanding performance, the
AIMB-785 is the ideal platform for today’s industrial applications.
