2 Installation Procedure
2.1 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)
2.
Insert the DDR3 SODIMM 204pin module(s)
Be careful to push it in the slot(s) before locking the tabs.
3.
Connecting Interfaces and PSU
Insert all external cables for hard disk, keyboard etc. A display/monitor must be connected in order to
be able change BIOS settings. Connect 12V +/-5% PSU to the board via one of the two types of 4-pin
power connectors (both located next to the Audio Jack stack connector).
4.
Power Button
Turn on mains power to the PSU. If board doesn’t boot, then PWRBTN_IN must be toggled; this is done by
shorting pins 16 (PWRBTN_IN) and pin 18 (GND) on the FRONTPNL connector (see Connector
description), by use of a “normally open” switch etc.
5.
BIOS Setup
Enter the BIOS setup by pressing the key during boot up. Enter Exit Menu and Load Optimal
Defaults. Refer to the “BIOS Configuration / Setup“ section of this manual for details on BIOS setup.

Mounting the board to chassis
When fixing the Motherboard on a chassis it is recommended using screws with integrated washer and a
diameter of ⋲7mm. Do not use washers with teeth, as they can damage the PCB and cause short circuits.
Note: To clear all BIOS settings, including Password protection, activate “Clear CMOS” Jumper for ⋲10
sec (without power connected).
