ECS A55F-M2 V1.0A FM1 AMD A55 Hudson D2 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard. This motherboard is a high performance, enhanced function motherboard that supports socket for FM1 for AMD A series processor for high-end business or personal desktop markets. The motherboard is based on AMD A55 (Hudson D2) express chipset for best desktop platform. A55 is a single-chip, highly integrated, high performance Hyper- Transport peripheral controller, unmatched by any other single chip-device controller. The memory controller supports DDR3 memory DIMM frequencies of 1866*1/1600/1333. It supports two DDR3 slots with maximum memory size of 32*2 GB. One PCI Express x16 slots, intended for Graphics Interface, are fully compliant to the PCI Express Gen2 (version 2.0). In addition, two PCI Express x1 slots and one PCI slot are supported. It integrates USB 2.0, supporting up to twelve USB 2.0 ports (eight USB 2.0 ports and two USB 2.0 headers support additional four USB 2.0 ports). The gray USB 2.0 header provides EZ charger technology, please refer to chapter 2 parts of Front Panel USB 2.0 headers to check the detail information. This motherboard integrates a Serial ATA host controller, supporting six SATA ports with maximum transfer rate up to 3.0 Gb/s each. There is an advanced full set of I/O ports in the rear panel, including one PS/2 mouse and keyboard combo connector, one HDMI port (DVI port optional), one D-sub (VGA) port, eight USB 2.0 ports, one LAN port, three audio jacks for microphone, line-in and 6-ch line-out.

Please Note: This is an OEM motherboard and it does not come with rear I/O shield also known as back-plate cover; this part is not needed and you can still install the board in standard ATX case.
