1.2 Features
• PCI Express architecture: Designed with the Intel 945GM and
ICH7M-DH PCI-Express chipset, the AIMB-554 has dual/single Giga-
bit LAN via PCI-E x1 bus, 1 PCI-E x 16 slot and 1 PCI-E x 4 slot.
• High Performance I/O Capability: Dual/single Gigabit LAN via PCI-
E x1 bus, 2 PCI 32-bit/33MHz PCI slots, 2 SATA connectors and 8
USB 2.0 ports.
• Standard ATX form factor with industrial features: AIMB-554 pro-
vides industrial features like long product life, reliable operation under
wide temperature range, watchdog timer, CMOS backup functions, etc.
• Healthy status monitoring and remote management: System voltage
levels, fan speed, CPU temperature are monitored to ensure stable
operation. The remote management interface allows the system to be
managed through Ethernet when it is connected to the SNMP-1000
Remote HTTP/SNMP System Manager.
• BIOS CMOS backup and restore: When BIOS CMOS setup has been
completed, data in the CMOS RAM is automatically backed up to the
Flash ROM. This is particularly useful in harsh environments which
may cause setup data loss such as battery failure. Upon such an error
occurring, BIOS will check the data, and automatically restore the
original data for booting.
• Automatically power on after power failure: It is often required to
have an unattended system come back to operation when power
resumes after a power failure. Advantech's industrial motherboard
allows users to set the system to power on automatically without push-
ing the power on button.
