2.2.3.2 Add-in Card Connectors
The board supports M.2 2242, 2260, and 2280 (key type M) modules.
• Supports M.2 SSD SATA drives
― Maximum bandwidth is approximately 540 MB/s
• Supports M.2 SSD PCIe drives (PCIe x1, x2, and x4)
― Using PCIe x4 M.2 SSD maximum bandwidth is approximately 1600 MB/s
2.2.3.3 Power Supply Connector
The board has the following power supply connector:
• External Power Supply – the board can be powered through a 12-19 V DC connector on the
back panel. The back panel DC connector is compatible with a 5.5 mm/OD (outer diameter)
and 2.5 mm/ID (inner diameter) plug, where the inner contact is +12-19 (±10%) V DC and the
shell is GND. The maximum current rating is 10 A.
NOTE
External power voltage, 12-19 V DC, is dependent on the type of power brick used.
For information about Refer to
Power supply considerations Section 2.5.1, page 50
2.2.3.3.1 Power Sensing Circuit
The board has a power sensing circuit that:
• manages CPU power usage to maintain system power consumption below 65 W.
• is designed for use with 65 W AC-DC adapters.
NOTE
It is recommended that you disable this feature (via BIOS option) when using an AC-DC
adapter greater than 65 W.
2.2.3.4 Front Panel Header (2.0 mm Pitch)
This section describes the functions of the front panel header. Table 18 lists the signal names of
the front panel header. Figure 12 is a connection diagram for the front panel header.
