Installation Procedure
Installing the Board
2.1
To get the board running follow these steps. If the board shipped from KONTRON has already components
like RAM and CPU 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. Otherwise components
!
(RAM, LAN cards etc.) might get damaged. Make sure to use +12V single supply only.
Alternatively use a standard ATX PSU with suitable cable kit and PS_ON# active.
2. Insert the DDR3L SODIMM module
For a list of approved DDR3 DIMMs contact your Distributor or FAE. See also chapter "System Memory
Support".
3. Cooler Installation
Normally the cooler is premounted, but in case not, then make sure the heat paste etc. on the cooler is
intact and cover the full area of the SOC. Connect Cooler Fan electrically to the FAN_CPU connector.
4. Connecting Interfaces
Insert all external cables for hard disk, keyboard etc. A monitor must be connected in order to change
BIOS settings.
5. Connect and turn on PSU
Connect PSU to the board by the Int12V connector or the Ext12V connector. Please note that current
limitations apply, see relevant connector description.
6. Power Button
If the board does not start by itself when switching on the ATX PSU AC mains, then follow these
instructions to start the board. Install the Always On Jumper in the Always On position or toggle the
PWRBTN_IN# signal (available in the FRONTPNL connector), by momentary shorting pins 16
(PWRBTN_IN#) and pin 18 (GND). A "normally open" switch is recommended.
7. BIOS Setup
Enter the BIOS setup by pressing the <F2> key during boot up.
Enter "Exit Menu" and Load Setup Defaults.
Refer to the "BIOS Configuration / Setup" section of this manual for details on BIOS setup. Please note
that BIOS may boot in UEFI shell, if so then type exit to activate BIOS menu and select Set-up.
Note: To clear all BIOS settings, including Password protection, activate "Load Default BIOS Settings"
Jumper for ⋲10 sec (without power connected).
