Installation procedure

1.1

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. Otherwise
components (RAM, LAN cards etc.) might get damaged.
!
Do not use PSU's without 3.3V monitoring watchdog, which is standard feature in ATX PSU's.
Running the board without 3.3V connected will damage the board after a few minutes.
2. Insert the DDR3 DIMM 240pin DRAM module(s)
Be careful to push it in the slot(s) before locking the tabs. For a list of approved DDR3 DIMM modules
contact your Distributor or FAE.
DDR3-800/1066 DIMM 240pin DRAM modules (PC3-6400/PC3-8500) are supported.
3. Install the processor
The CPU is keyed and will only mount in the CPU socket in one way. Use the handle to open/ close the
CPU socket. The Intel® Core™2 Quad, Intel® Core™2 Duo in the LGA775 package are supported, refer
to supported processor overview for details.
Opening the socket:
Apply pressure to the corner with right hand thumb while opening/closing the load lever, otherwise lever can
bounce back like a "mouse trap" and WILL cause bent contacts (when loaded)
1. Disengage Load Lever by depressing down and out on the hook to clear retention tab
2. Rotate Load Lever to fully open position at approximately 135°
3. Rotate Load Plate to fully open position at approximately 100°
Remove Socket Protective Cover
With left hand index finger and thumb to support the load plate edge, engage protective cover finger tab with
right hand thumb and peel the cover from LGA775 Socket while pressing on center of protective cover to
assist in removal.
Set protective cover aside. Always put cover back on if the processor is removed from the socket.
IMPORTANT: For return goods (RMA): warranty is void if returned without Protective cover.
