To get the board running follow these steps. If the board shipped from Kontron has already components like RAM
and CPU cooler mounted, then relevant steps below can be skipped.
1.
Turn off the PSU (Power Supply Unit)
Turn off PSU (Power Supply Unit) completely (no mains power connected to the PSU)
or leave the Power Connectors unconnected while configuring the board. Otherwise
components (RAM, LAN cards etc.) might get damaged.
2.
Insert the memory module
Be careful to push it in the slot(s) before locking the tabs. For a list of approved memory modules contact your
Distributor or FAE. See also chapter “System Memory Support”. Use memory modules with the same density in
all sockets!
3.
Connecting Interfaces
Insert all external cables for hard disk, keyboard etc. A monitor must be connected in order to change BIOS
settings.
4.
Connect and turn on PSU
Connect PSU to the board by the ATX+12 V-4pin connector or alternatively connect a 12 V DC power adapter to
the I/O power jack.
5.
BIOS Setup
Enter the BIOS setup by pressing the <F2> key during boot up.
Enter “Exit Menu” and load Setup Defaults.
Refer to the “BIOS Configuration / Setup“ section of this manual for details on BIOS setup.
To clear all BIOS settings, including Password protection, activate “Load Default BIOS
Settings” Jumper for
⋲
>
10 sec (without power connected).
6.
Mounting the board in chassis
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.
When fixing the Motherboard on a chassis it is recommended to use screws with integrated washer and a
diameter of
>
7 mm. Do not use washers with teeth, as they can damage the PCB and cause short circuits.

Requirements IEC60950-1
Take care when designing chassis interface connectors in order to fulfil the IEC60950-1 standard. Users of mITX-APL
must evaluate the end product to ensure compliance the requirements of the IEC60950-1 safety standard are met:
The motherboard must be installed in a suitable mechanical, electrical and fire enclosure.
The system in its enclosure must be evaluated for temperature and air flow considerations.
The motherboard must be powered by a CSA or UL approved power supply that limits the maximum input
current to 10 A via external barrel-type 12-24 VDC connector, and to 16 A via internal square 12 VDC ATX
connector.
For interfaces having a power pin such as external power or fan, ensure that the connectors and wires are
suitably rated. All connections from/to the product shall be with SELV circuits only.
Wires have suitable rating to withstand the maximum available power.
The enclosure of the peripheral device fulfils the fire protecting requirements of IEC60950-1.
