Technical Specifications
Technical Summary
The Quanta G38A NB5 motherboard revision 1A, dated December 14, 2016, is built around the Intel Kaby Lake-H platform with a Skylake Halo processor in a BGA1440 package. The system pairs with a Lynx Point PCH and features discrete NVIDIA graphics options: N17E-G2 with 8x gDDR5 memory chips or N17E-G1 with 6x gDDR5 chips. Memory is provided via two DDR4 2133MHz SODIMM slots, each supporting up to 8GB. The embedded controller is an ITE IT8987E/BX, and the audio subsystem uses an ALC255-CG codec with an ALC1003-VB-CG subwoofer amplifier. Networking is handled by a Realtek RTL8111H-CG LAN controller alongside a WLAN BT combo module. The board includes a USB Type-C controller (CYPD2122-24LQIT), a TUSB546I re-driver IC, an SN75DP159RSBR HDMI level shifter, and an RTS5227S-GR card reader. The BIOS is stored on a generic SPI ROM.
