Warning
: When mounting the board to chassis etc. please notice that the board contains
components on both sides of the PCB which can easily be damaged if board is handled
without reasonable care. A damaged component can result in malfunction or no function at all.
2. Installation
procedure
2.1 Installing the board
To get the board running, follow these steps. In some cases the board shipped from KONTRON Technology
has SDRAM mounted. In this case Step 2 can be skipped.
1. Turn off the power supply.
2. Insert the SDRAM module (optional). Be careful to push it in the slot before locking the tabs. For a list of
approved SDRAM modules contact your Distributor or FAE.
PC133,168pin SDRAM modules are supported.
3. Insert all external cables for hard disk, keyboard etc. except for flat panel. A CRT monitor must be
connected in order to change CMOS settings to flat panel support. To achieve UDMA-66/100/133
performance on the IDE interface, 80poled UDMA cables
must
be used. If using the IDE_S2 connector
care should be taken in correct orientation when attaching the female cable. The cables that KONTRON
provide do not have a key. There is possibility of damage to the HDD or PCB if the cable is not orientated
correctly.
4. Connect power supply to the board by the ATXPWR connector.
5. Turn on the power on the ATX power supply.
6. The PWRBTN_IN must be toggled to start the Power supply; this is done by shorting pins 16
(PWRBTN_IN) and pin 18 (GND) on the FRONTPNL connector (see Connector description). A “normally
open” switch can be connected via the FRONTPNL connector.
7. Enter the BIOS setup by pressing the “F2” key during boot up. Refer to the Software Manual (under
preparation) for details on BIOS setup.
Enter Advanced Menu / CPU Configuration / Intel SpeedStep Tech. and set this option to “Maximum
Performance”.
Note
: To clear all CMOS settings, including Password protection, move the CMOS_CLR jumper (with or without
power) for approximately 1 minute. Alternatively turn off power and remove the battery for 1 minute, but be
careful to orientate the battery corretly when reinserted.
8. Mounting the board to chassis
When fixing the Motherboard on a chassis it is recommended using screws with integrated washer and
having diameter of ~7mm.
Note
: Do not use washers with teeth, as they can damage the PCB mounting hole and may cause short
circuits.
Note
: If the Audio Amplifier shall be used to generate up to 3W on the Audio output channels,
then make sure that sufficent airflow is around the Audio Amplifier. The Amplifier has integrated
Thermal Protection and will not be damaged even though the airflow is insufficient for normal
operation.
