For Your Safety

Your new Kontron product was developed and tested carefully to provide all features necessary to ensure its
compliance with electrical safety requirements. It was also designed for a long fault-free life. However, the life
expectancy of your product can be drastically reduced by improper treatment during unpacking and installation.
Therefore, in the interest of your own safety and of the correct operation of your new Kontron product, you are
requested to conform with the following guidelines.

High Voltage Safety Instructions

As a precaution and in case of danger, the power connector must be easily accessible. The power connector is the
product’s main disconnect device.

Warning
All operations on this product must be carried out by sufficiently skilled personnel only.

Electric Shock!
Before installing a non hot-swappable Kontron product into a system always ensure that

your mains power is switched off. This also applies to the installation of piggybacks. Serious
electrical shock hazards can exist during all installation, repair, and maintenance operations
on this product. Therefore, always unplug the power cable and any other cables which
provide external voltages before performing any work on this product.

Earth ground connection to vehicle’s chassis or a central grounding point shall remain
connected. The earth ground cable shall be the last cable to be disconnected or the first
cable to be connected when performing installation or removal procedures on this product.

Special Handling and Unpacking Instruction

3.3. Environmental Conditions

The ATX-KBL-S is compliant with the following environmental conditions. It is the customer's responsibility to provide
sufficient airflow around each of the components to keep them within the allowed temperature range.

Table 2: Environmental Conditions

Operating Temperature 0 °C ~ 60 °C / 32 °F ~ 140 °F

Storage Temperature -20 °C ~ 80 °C / -4 °F ~ 176 °F

Humidity 0 % ~ 95 %

3.4. Processor Support

The ATX-KBL-S is designed to support the following processors which are connected to a discrete Intel® H110 or Q170
Chipset Platform Controller Hub on the motherboard.

 Intel® Core i7, i5, i3 processors (FCLGA1151 Socket, TDP up to 95 W)

Sufficient cooling must be applied to the CPU in order to remove the effect defined as TDP (Thermal Design Power).
The sufficient cooling is also depending on the worst case maximum ambient operating temperature and the actual
worst case load of processor.

3.5. System Memory Support

ATX-KBL-S - User Guide, Rev. 1.1

www.kontron.com

// 21

The ATX-KBL-S has four DDR4 UDIMM sockets. The sockets support the following memory features:

 Up to 4x DDR4 UDIMM, 1.2 V
 Up to 64 GB (4x 16 GB)
 Dual channel, 288-pin, 1866 / 2133 MT/s
 SPD timing supported
 ECC supported

The installed DDR4 UDIMM should support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. This allows the BIOS to
read and configure the memory controller for optimal performance. If non-SPD memory is used, the BIOS will attempt
to configure the memory settings, but performance and reliability may be impacted, or the board may not be able to
boot totally.

3.5.1. Memory Operating Frequencies

In all modes, the frequency of system memory is the lowest frequency of all the memory modules placed in the
system. Each memory module's frequency can be determined through the SPD registers on the memory modules.

The table below lists the resulting operating memory frequencies based on the combination of UDIMMs and
processor.

Table 3: Memory Operating Frequencies

UDIMM Type Module Name Memory Data

Transfer (MT/s)

Processor System
Bus Frequency
(MHz)

Resulting
Memory Clock
Frequency (MHz)

Peak Transfer
Rate (MB/s)

DDR4 1866 PC4-1866 1867 933 233 14933

DDR4 2133 PC4-2133 2133 1067 267 17067

Memory modules have in general a much lower longevity than embedded motherboards, and therefore EOL of
modules can be expected several times during lifetime of the motherboard.

As a minimum it is recommend using Kontron memory modules for prototype system(s) in order to prove stability of
the system and as for reference.

For volume production you might request to test and qualify other types of RAM. In order to qualify RAM it is
recommend configuring 3 systems running RAM Stress Test program in heat chamber at 60° C for a minimum of 24
hours.

3.6. On-board Graphics Subsystem

The ATX-KBL-S supports Intel® HD Graphics technology for high quality graphics capabilities. The model with Intel®
H110 chipset supports two displays pipes while that with Intel® Q170 chipset supports three displays pipes.

Up to three displays can be used simultaneously and be used to implement independent or cloned display
configuration.

3.7. Power Supply

In order to ensure safe operation of the board, the input power supply must monitor the supply voltage and shut
down if the supply is out of range – refer to the actual power supply specification. Please note, in order to keep the
power consumption to a minimal level, boards do not implement a guaranteed minimum load. In some cases, this can
lead to compatibility problems with ATX power supplies that require a minimum load to stay in regulation. The ATX­KBL-S board must be powered through the ATX+12V-8p (8-pole) connector using standard ATX12V power supply and
through the ATX-24p (24-pole) connector using standard ATX power supply.

ATX12V supply: ATX+12V-8p connector must be used in according to the ATX12V PSU standard.

ATX supply: ATX-24p connector must be used in according to the ATX PSU standard.

Hot Plugging power supply is not supported. Hot plugging might damage the board.

The requirements to the voltages of ATX power supply are as follows:

Table 5: Supply Voltages

Supply Min. Max. Note

+3.3 V 3.135 V 3.265 V Should be ±5% for compliance with the ATX specification

+5 V 4.75 V 5.25 V Should be ±5% for compliance with the ATX specification.

Should be minimum 5.00 V measured at USB connectors in order to
meet the requirements of USB standard.

+12 V 11.4 V 12.6 V Should be ±5% for compliance with the ATX specification

-12 V -13.2 V -10.8 V Should be ±10% for compliance with the ATX specification

7.15. Switches and Jumpers

The product has several jumpers which must be properly configured to ensure correct operation.

Figure 33: Jumper Connector

For a three-pin jumper (see Figure 35), the jumper setting is designated “1-2” when the jumper connects pins 1 and 2.
The jumper setting is designated “2-3” when pins 2 and 3 are connected and so on. You will see that one of the lines
surrounding a jumper pin is thick, which indicates pin No.1.

To move a jumper from one position to another, use needle-nose pliers or tweezers to pull the pin cap off the pins
and move it to the desired position.

8/ BIOS

8.1. Starting the uEFI BIOS

The ATX-KBL-S is provided with a Kontron-customized, pre-installed and configured version of AMI Aptio® V uEFI
BIOS. AMI BIOS firmware is based on the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) specification and the Intel®
Platform Innovation Framework for EFI. This uEFI BIOS provides a variety of new and enhanced functions specifically
tailored to the hardware features of the ATX-KBL-S.

The uEFI BIOS comes with a setup program that provides quick and easy access to the individual function settings for
control or modification of the uEFI BIOS configuration. The setup program allows the accessing of various menus that
provide functions or access to sub-menus with more specific functions of their own.

To start the uEFI BIOS setup program, follow the steps below:

1. Power on the board.

2. Wait until the first characters appear on the screen (POST messages or splash screen).

3. Press the <DEL> key.

4. If the uEFI BIOS is password-protected, a request for password will appear. Enter either the User Password or the

Supervisor Password (see Security menu), press <RETURN>, and proceed with step 5.

5. A setup menu will appear.
The ATX-KBL-S uEFI BIOS setup program uses a hot key-based navigation system. A hot key legend bar is located on
the bottom of the setup screens.

The following table provides information concerning the usage of these hot keys.

Table 59: Font Size Table

Hotkeys Description

<F1> The <F1> key invokes the General Help window.

<-> The <Minus> key selects the next lower value within a field.

<+> The <Plus> key selects the next higher value within a field.

<F2> The <F2> key loads the previous values.

<F3> The <F3> key loads the standard default values.

<F4> The <F4> key saves the current settings and exit the uEFI BIOS setup.

<→> or <←>

The <Left/Right> arrows selects major setup menus on the menu bar. For example:
Main, Advanced, Security, etc.

<↑> or <↓>

The <Up/Down> arrows selects fields in the current menu. For example: A setup
function or a sub-screen.

<ESC> The <ESC> key exits a major setup menu and enter the Exit setup menu.

Pressing the <ESC> key in a sub-menu displays the next higher menu level.

<RERURN> The <RETURN> key executes a command or select a submenu.
