3.5"-SBC-EKL - User Guide, Rev. 2.1 1/ Introduction This user guide describes the 3.5"-SBC-EKL board made by Kontron. This board will also be denoted 3.5"-SBC-EKL within this user guide. Use of this user guide implies a basic knowledge of PC-AT hardware and software. This user guide focuses on describing the 3.5"-SBC-EKL board's special features and is not intended to be a standard PC-AT textbook.
Handle the board only by the edges 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.

The 3.5"-SBC-EKL is designed to support Intel® Atom® x6000E Series, Intel® Celeron® J6000 / N6000 Series and Intel® Pantium® J6000 / N6000 Series Processors. The BGA CPU is remounted from factory. Kontron has defined the board versions as listed in the following table, so far all based on Embedded CPUs. Other versions are expected at a later date.
Memory modules have in general a much lower longevity than embedded motherboards, and therefore EOL of modules can be expected several times during lifetime of the motherboard. As a minimum it is recommend using Kontron memory modules for prototype system(s) in order to prove stability of the system and as for reference.
