2.2.2.2  Add-in Card Connectors 
The board has the following add-in card connectors: 
•  One PCI Express 2.0 x16:  this connector supports simultaneous transfer speeds of 
up to 8 GB/s of peak bandwidth per direction. 
•  Two PCI Express 2.0 x1:  each of these connectors support simultaneous transfer 
speeds of up to 500 MB/s of peak bandwidth per direction. 
•  Three Conventional PCI (rev 2.3 compliant) connectors.   
Note the following considerations for the Conventional PCI bus connectors: 
•  The Conventional PCI bus connectors are bus master capable. 
•  SMBus signals are routed to the Conventional PCI bus connectors.  This enables 
Conventional PCI bus add-in boards with SMBus support to access sensor data on 
the desktop board.  The specific SMBus signals are as follows: 
⎯  The SMBus clock line is connected to pin A40. 
⎯  The SMBus data line is connected to pin A41. 
 
2.2.2.3  Power Supply Connectors 
The board has the following power supply connectors: 
•  Main power – a 2 x 12 connector.  This connector is compatible with 2 x 10 
connectors previously used on Intel Desktop boards.  The board supports the use 
of ATX12V power supplies with either 2 x 10 or 2 x 12 main power cables.  When 
using a power supply with a 2 x 10 main power cable, pins 11, 12, 23, and 
24 must remain unconnected.   
•  Processor core power – a 2 x 2 connector.  This connector provides power 
directly to the processor voltage regulator and must always be used.  Failure to do 
so will prevent the board from booting. 
 CAUTION 
If a high power (75 W or greater) add-in card is installed in the PCI Express x16 
connector, that card must also be connected directly to the power supply.  Failure to 
do so may cause damage to the board and the add-in card.
