ASMB-785 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
ASMB-785 motherboard is designed with the most advanced Intel® C236 PCH for
industrial server grade applications that require high-performance computing. The
motherboard supports Intel® Xeon® E3 v5/v6 & 6th/7th Generation Core™ proces-
sors with DDR4 288pin 1600/1866/2133/2400 MHz ECC/Non-ECC memory for up to
64 GB. ASMB-785 also provides cost-effective Intel HD graphics integrated on pro-
cessor, and the graphics VRAM has 1 GB maximum of shared memory with 2 GB
and above of system memory installed.
To fulfill various demands from the video surveillance and factory automation mar-
kets, ASMB-785 offers maximum up to four Gen3 PCIe slots, including one PCIe x16
slot with x16 link, or switchable to two PCIe x16 slots with x8 link from CPU, and two
PCIe x4 slots from PCH. In addition, ASMB-785 also comes with three PCI slots via a
discrete PCIe to PCI bridge chip to support legacy PCI expansion cards and has four
or two Gigabit Ethernet LAN via dedicated PCIe bus, which offers bandwidth up to
300 MB/s.
By using the Intel® C236 chipset, ASMB-785 offers a variety of features such as
seven onboard SATA III interfaces (bandwidth = 600 MB/s) with software RAID; 6 x
USB 3.0 and 7 x USB 2.0 connectors. These powerful I/O capabilities ensure reliable
data storage capabilities and high-speed I/O peripheral connectivity.
The ASMB-785 also adopts Advantech’s unique, patented Sleep Mode Control
Circuit for AT Power Mode. With all these excellent features and outstanding perfor-
mance, ASMB-785 is the ideal platform for today’s industrial applications.
1.2 Features
Triple Display: ASMB-785 has one VGA and two DVI-D ports. Users are able
to use all display outputs to implement triple display functions.
PCIe architecture: There is one PCIe x16 slot (x16 link) or two PCIe x16 slots
(x8 link) from the Intel CPU, and two x4 slots (x4 link) from the Intel C236 PCH.
High Performance I/O capability: 4 or 2 x Gigabit LAN via PCIe bus, 3 x PCI
32-bit/33 or 66 MHz PCI slots, 6 x USB 3.0, 7 x USB 2.0 ports (1*Type A USB
2.0), 6 x SATA III connectors.
Standard ATX form factor with industrial features: ASMB-785 provides
industrial features like long product life, reliable operation under wide tempera-
ture range, watchdog timer functions, etc.
Automatic power on after power failure: It is often necessary to have an unat-
tended system come back into operation when power resumes after a power
failure. Advantech’s industrial motherboard allows users to set the system to
power on automatically without anyone hitting power button. Please refer to the
detailed "AT" mode settings in Table 1.10 of Section 1.8.1.6.
Active Management Technology 9.0: The hardware and firmware base solu-
tion is powered by the system auxiliary power plane to remotely monitor net-
worked systems. Intel AMT (iAMT) stores hardware and software information in
non-volatile memory. Built-in management provides out-of-band management
capabilities, allowing remote discovery and KVM to repair systems after OS fail-
ures or when a system has crashed. Alert and event logging features detect
problems and quickly reduce downtime, pro-actively blocking incoming threats,
containing infected clients before they impact the network, and proactively noti-
fying the user when critical software agents are removed. To enable iAMT,
please refer to Section 3.2.2.4 AMT Configuration.
