    The conga-XLX is equipped with an ATMEL Atmega88 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.

    500 MHz Note congatec strongly recommends that when using the 'Manual Settings' option the 'CPU Clock Speed' should be set to the default value, which is 500MHz. If an alternative setting for the 'CPU Clock Speed' must be used then it's recommended that this setting be extensively evaluated in conjunction with the complete system.

  • Page 68: Power Management

    In ACPI mode it is not possible for a “Watchdog ACPI Event” handler to directly restart or shutdown the OS. For this reason the congatec BIOS will do one of the following: For Shutdown: An over temperature notification is executed. This causes the OS to shut down in an orderly fashion.
  • Page 69 1. 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 within 30 seconds the standby voltage is no longer detected, then this is considered an AC power loss condition.

  • Page 70: Boot Device Priority

    Usually another AC power off/on cycle is necessary to recover from this situation. 3. Unlike other module designs available in the embedded market, a CMOS battery is not required by congatec modules to support the 'Power Loss Control' feature. 8.8 Boot Device Priority Feature...
