Introduction Introduction This manual describes the KTA70M/mITX family of boards made by KONTRON Technology A/S. These board will also be denoted KTA70M within this Users Guide. The KTA70M family is based on AMD eTrinity platform: AMD BGA FP2 processor APU and AMD Fusion controller Hub A70M (Hudson M3) on a mini ITX form factor.
Installation Procedure Installing the Board To get the board running, follow these steps. If the board shipped from KONTRON has already components like RAM mounted, then relevant steps below can be skipped. 1. Turn off the PSU (Power Supply Unit) Warning: Turn off PSU (Power Supply Unit) befor configuring the board and do not hot plug power supply, otherwise components (RAM, LAN cards etc.) might get damaged.
