2/ Installation procedure
2.1. Installing the Board
ESD Sensitive Device!
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry.
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. Make sure to use +12V single supply
only. Alternatively use a standard ATX PSU with suitable cable kit and PS_ON# active.
2.
Insert the DDR3L SO-DIMM 204pin SO-DIMM module(s)
Be careful to push it in the slot(s) before locking the tabs. For a list of approved DDR3L SO-DIMMs contact your
Distributor or FAE. See also chapter "System Memory Support". Use SO-DIMM with the same memory density in
both sockets!
3.
Cooler Installation
The mITX-H comes with a passive heatsink pre-installed and a separate fan, which can be mounted onto the
heatsink, should the system require additional airflow. Connect Cooler Fan electrically to the FANCPU connector.
4.
Connecting Interfaces
Insert all external cables for hard disk, keyboard etc. A monitor must be connected in order to change BIOS
settings.
5.
Connect and turn on PSU
Connect PSU to the board by the ATX+12 V- 4p connector or alternatively connect a 12 to 24 V DC power adapter
to the Rear I/O power jack.
6.
Power Button
If the board does not start by itself when switching on the ATX/DC PSU AC mains, then follow these instructions
to start the board. Install the Always On Jumper in the Always On position or toggle the PWRBTN_IN# signal
(available in the FRONTPNL connector), by momentary shorting pins 16 (PWRBTN_IN#) and pin 18 (GND). A
"normally open" switch is recommended.
7.
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 User Guide for details on BIOS setup.
To clear all BIOS settings, including Password protection, activate "Load Default BIOS
Settings" Jumper for 10 seconds (without power connected).
•
Wear ESD-protective clothing and shoes
•
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap attached to a good earth ground
•
Check the resistance value of the wrist strap periodically (OK: 1 MΩ to 10 MΩ)
•
Transport and store the board in its antistatic bag
•
Handle the board at an approved ESD workstation
•
Handle the board only by the edges
