  • Page 20: Cooling Solution

    AG offers two cooling possibilities for the conga-IC170: • A customized active cooling solution (fan attached with heatsink) in combination with the conga-IC170 retention frame. This cooling solution is adapted to the Thin Mini-ITX height specification and features a Hi-Flow 225UT pressure sensitive, phase change thermal interface.
  • Page 21: Cooling Installation

    • Connect the fan’s power cable. Caution The congatec heatspreaders/cooling solutions are tested only within the commercial temperature range of 0° to 60°C. Therefore, if your application that features a congatec heatspreader/cooling solution operates outside this temperature range, ensure the correct operating temperature of the module is maintained at all times.
  • Page 22: Active Cooling Dimensions

    All measurements are in millimeters. Torque specification for cooling solution screws is 0.6 Nm. Mechanical system assembly mounting shall follow the valid DIN/IS0 specifications. To replace the fan, use equivalent fan with similar parameters. Copyright © 2016 congatec AG ICSLm13.indd 22/95...

  • Page 51: Case Open Intrusion Connector

    The conga-IC170 is equipped with a Texas Instruments Tiva™ microcontroller. This onboard microcontroller plays an important role for most of the congatec BIOS features. It fully isolates some of the embedded features such as system monitoring or the I²C bus from the x86 core architecture, which results in higher embedded feature performance and more reliability, even when the x86 processor is in a low power mode.
  • Page 52: Power Loss Control

    OEM BIOS Code With the congatec embedded BIOS it is even possible for system designers to add their own code to the BIOS POST process. Except for custom specific code, this feature can also be used to support Window 7 SLIC table, verb tables for HDA codecs, rare graphic modes and Super I/O controllers.

    Note The congatec BIOS by default enables CSM (Compatibility Support Module) and disables secure boot because most of the industrial computers today boot in legacy (non-UEFI) mode. Since secure boot is only enabled when booting in native UEFI mode, you must therefore disable the CSM (compatibility support module) in the BIOS setup to enable Secure Boot.

  • Page 92 Note The term ‘AC power loss’ stands for the state when the module looses the standby voltage on the 5V_SB pins. On congatec modules, the standby voltage is continuously monitored after the system is turned off. If the standby voltage is not detected within 30 seconds, this is considered an AC power loss condition.

    OEMs often use BIOS updates to correct platform issues discovered after the board has been shipped or when new features are added to the BIOS. The conga-IC170 uses a congatec/AMI AptioEFI firmware, which is stored in an onboard flash ROM chip and can be updated using the congatec System Utility.
