AIMB-786 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
AIMB-786 motherboard is the most advanced Intel Q370 board for industrial applica-
tions that require high-performance computing. The motherboard supports 8th gener-
ation Intel Core i7/i5/i3 processor and DDR4 2400/2666 memory up to 64 GB. AIMB-
786 provides cost-effective integrated graphics with 1 GB max shared memory when
2 GB or above system memory is installed.
AIMB-786 is equipped with one PCIe x16 (Gen3), four PCIe x4 (Gen3), and two PCI
slots. Triple display interfaces are provided to allow users to connect monitors to the
onboard VGA , DVI-D, and DP ports at the same time. In addition, the AIMB-786 has
dual Gigabit Ethernet LAN via 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-786 the ideal platform for industrial networking applications.
By using the Intel Q370 chipset, the AIMB-786 offers a variety of features such as
five onboard SATA 3.0 interfaces (bandwidth = 600 MB/s) with software RAID (0, 1,
5, 10), two USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports, four USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports, seven USB 2.0 ports, and
HD Audio. These powerful I/O capabilities ensure even more reliable data storage
capabilities and high-speed I/O peripheral connectivity.
The AIMB-786 also adopts Advantech’s unique patented Sleep Mode Control Circuit
for AT Power Mode. With all the excellent features and outstanding performance, the
AIMB-786 is the ideal platform for today’s industrial applications.
