Actively driving PWR_OK high is compliant to the COM Express specification but this can cause back driving. Therefore, congatec recommends driving the PWR_OK low to keep the module in reset and tri-state PWR_OK when the carrier board hardware is ready to boot.

Page 34: Additional Features
Board Controller (cBC) The conga-TC570r is equipped with Microchip microcontroller. This onboard microcontroller plays an important role for most of the congatec embedded/industrial PC 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 35: Power Loss Control
Enhanced Soft-Off State The conga-TC570r supports an enhanced Soft-Off state (S5e)—a congatec proprietary low-power Soft-Off state. In this state, the CPU module switches off almost all the onboard logic in order to reduce the power consumption to absolute minimum (between 0.05 mA and 0.09 mA). -

OEM POST Logo This feature allows system designers to replace the congatec POST logo displayed in the upper left corner of the screen during BIOS POST with their own BIOS POST logo. Use the congatec system utility CGUTIL 1.5.4 or later to replace/add the OEM POST logo. -
Page 37: Api Support (Cgos)
The architecture of the CGOS API driver provides the ability to write application software that runs unmodified on all congatec CPU modules. All the hardware related code is contained within the congatec embedded BIOS on the module. See section 1.1 of the CGOS API software developers guide, available on the congatec website. -

3. To ensure that the TCC is active for only short periods of time, thus reducing the impact on processor performance to a minimum, it is necessary to have a properly designed thermal solution. The Intel Core™ i7/i5/i3, Celeron and Pentium processor’s respective datasheet ® ® ® can provide you with more information about this subject. Copyright © 2022 congatec GmbH TCTOm01 38/70... -
Page 39: Processor Performance Control
When the processor is operating below these limits and the user’s workload demands additional performance, the processor frequency dynamically increases by 100 MHz on short and regular intervals until the upper limit is met or the maximum possible upside for the number of active cores is reached.

See section 7.1 “Adaptive Thermal Monitor and Catastrophic Thermal Protection” for more information. The congatec board controller supports active cooling solution.
