Page 8 of 92 Introduction This manual describes the KTQ45/Flex and KTQ45/ATXE boards made by KONTRON Technology A/S. The boards will also be denoted KTQ45 family if no differentiation is required. The KTQ45 boards supports the Intel® Core™2 Quad processor Q9000 series, the Intel® Core™2 Duo processor E8000 and E7000 series with a maximum TDP of 95W.
Installation procedure Installing the board To get the board running, follow these steps. In some cases the board shipped from KONTRON Technology has DDR3 DRAM mounted. In this case Step 2 can be skipped. 1. Turn off the power supply 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.

KTD-00782-H KTQ45 family Page 20 of 92 KTQ45 Graphics Subsystem The KTQ45 boards use the Intel Q45 chipset for the graphical control. This chipset contains two separate, mutually exclusive graphics options. Either the GMA 4500 graphics controller (contained within the AC82Q45 GMCH) is used, or a PCI Express x16 add-in card can be used.
PCIe Passive Graphic cards can be designed to support the following configurations: · TMDS for DVI 1.0 · Display Port · HDMI support Currently available Kontron PCIe Passive Graphic cards: · P/N 820977, KT-PCIe-DVI-HDMI-I, (HDMI, and DVI with TMDS option). Please visit the Kontron website (www.kontron.com ) for details.
– refer to the hardware manual for actual power specification. The KTQ45/Flex board is powered through the ATX connector and the additional 12V separate supply for CPU as specified in the ATX specification; besides this the power supplied to the board must be within the ATX specification.
