Technical Specifications
Technical Summary
This Quanta Z8AD motherboard is built on the Intel Brasewll platform with UMA graphics architecture. The board is identified by document number Z8AD321, revision 1A, dated April 8, 2015. The embedded controller is an IT8987 in an LQPF128 package. The audio subsystem uses a Realtek ALC255 codec in a QFN package. The main BIOS is a 1.8V SPI ROM with 64Mb capacity for BIOS and TXE firmware. A separate 3.3V SPI ROM of 1Mb is dedicated for EC code storage. Networking is handled by a Realtek RTL8111H-CG LAN IC in a QFN package. Memory configuration consists of a single DDR3L SO-DIMM slot supporting up to 8GB.
