2/ Installation Procedures
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 already has components like RAM
and CPU cooler mounted, then skip the relevant steps below.
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 a standard
ATX PSU and a standard ATX12V PSU with suitable cable kits and PS-ON# active.
The power supply unit shall comply with the requirements as defined in IEC 62368-1
according Clause 6.2.2 to power source category PS2 "Limited Power Source".
2.
Insert the DDR3 DIMM 240-pin module(s)
Be careful to push the memory module in the slot(s) before locking the tabs. For a list of approved DIMMs
contact your Distributor or FAE. See also chapter "System Memory Support". Use DIMM with the same memory
density in each socket!
3.
Processor installation
Install the processor in the processor socket. Follow the steps in the delivered manual from the processor
manufacturer.
4.
Cooler installation
You can connect the cooler fan electrically to the CPU FAN connector.
5.
Connecting interfaces
Insert all external cables for hard disk, keyboard etc. A monitor must be connected in order to change BIOS
settings.
6.
Connect and turn on PSU
Connect PSU to the board by the 2x12-pin ATX wafer connector and 2x2-pin ATX wafer connector.
7.
BIOS setup
Enter the BIOS setup by pressing the <DEL> 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.

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 (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
