1.3 Specifications
1.3.1 System
 CPU: LGA1156 Core i7 up to 2.93 Ghz/Core i5 up to 2.66 Ghz/Core i3 up to
3.06 Ghz/Pentium up to 2.8 Ghz
 BIOS: AMI 64 Mbit SPI BIOS
 System chipset: Intel Q57/3450 chipset
 SATA hard disk drive interface: Six on-board SATA connectors with data
transmission rates up to 300 MB.
1.3.2 Memory
 RAM: Up to 16 GB in 4 slots 240-pin sockets. Supports dual channel DDRIII
800/1066/1333 SDRAM
 RAM: The type of memory supported by the processor is dependent on the Intel
5 series chipset (Q57 for AIMB-580QG2-00A1E)/ Intel 3400 series chipset
(3450 for AIMB-580WG2-00A1E)
– Desktop Intel 5 series chipset platforms only support non-ECC unbuffered
DIMMs and do not support any memory configuration that mixes non-ECC
with ECC unbuffered DIMMs
– Server Intel 3400 series chipset platforms support ECC unbuffered DIMMs.
Workstation Intel 3400 Series Chipset platforms support ECC and non-ECC
unbuffered DIMMs. Neither platforms support any memory configuration that
mix non-ECC with ECC unbuffered DIMMs.
 RAM: For Dual -channel modes both channels must have at least one connec-
tor populated. For single-channel mode one or both may have the DIMM con-
nector populated.
Note! DIMMA1 connector must be always populated for any memory mode
configuration.
