Technical Specifications
Technical Summary
The Quanta ZAB motherboard is designed for AMD Carrizo/Bristol/Stoney Ridge platforms with a BGA 968 socket. The system uses DDR4-SODIMM memory across two channels. Graphics are handled by a discrete R16M GPU available in R16M-M1-70 or R16M-M1-30 configurations, paired with DDR3 VRAM in 2GB or 4GB configurations. The embedded controller is an NPCT650, and the audio codec is an ALC255-CG. The BIOS is stored on an 8MB SPI ROM. Power management includes BQ24737 battery charging, along with RT8068, RT8237, ISL62771, RT6575, and G5316+ regulators. The board integrates an RTL841B for both LAN and card reader functions, an ASM 1061 USB hub, and an M.2 WLAN+BT module. The TPM is also handled by the NPCT650.
