Page 6 Introduction Introduction This manual describes the KTQ87/mITX board made by KONTRON Technology A/S. The boards will also be denoted KTQ87. The KTQ87 board is based on the Q87 chipset, support 4 generation Intel® Haswell i7 -, i5 2Core and 4Core desktop processors, Haswell Dual Core Pentium and Haswell Dual Core Celeron.
1 Installation procedure 1.1 Installing the board To get the board running, follow these steps. If the board shipped from KONTRON has already components like RAM, CPU and cooler mounted, then relevant steps below, can be skipped. 1. Turn off the PSU (Power Supply Unit) Warning: Turn off PSU (Power Supply Unit) completely (no mains power connected to the PSU) or leave the Power Connectors unconnected while configuring the board.
