Getting Started
Getting started with the KTA55/pITX is simple. Take the following steps:
Plug a suitable DDR3-SDRAM memory module into the RAM socket.
Connect a DVI monitor to the DVI connector.
Plug a keyboard and/or mouse to the USB connector(s).
Attach a harddisk to the S-ATA connector.
Make sure all your connections have been made correctly. Connect the power supply to the
KTA55/pITX power supply connector.
Turn on the board by shortening the power button pins with a push button on power front
panel header (J2401) or use the autostart jumper (J2403).
Enter the BIOS by pressing the Del key during boot-up. Make all changes in the BIOS Setup.
See the BIOS Setup chapter of this manual for details.

System Memory
The KTA55/pITX uses only 204 pin Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Modules (SODIMMs). One socket is
available for +1.5V unbuffered DDR3-800 or DDR3-1066 SDRAM of up to 4 GB.
The total amount of memory available on the SDRAM module is used for main memory and graphic memory
on KTA55/pITX. Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) manages the sharing of the system memory between
graphic controller and processor. Therefore the full memory size is not available for software applications.
Attention:
KONTRON Technology A/S cannot guarantee the correct functionality of the KTA55/pITX when a module faster then
DDR3-1066 is used.
