 Wear ESD-protective clothing and shoes  Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap attached to a good earth ground  Check the resistance value of the wrist strap periodically (1 MΩ to 10 MΩ)  Transport and store the board in its antistatic bag  Handle the board at an approved ESD workstation  Handle the board only by the edges

To get the board running follow these steps. If the board shipped from KONTRON already has components like RAM and CPU cooler mounted, then skip the relevant steps below.

1. Turn off the PSU (Power Supply Unit)

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 +12 V DC single supply only. Alternatively, use a standard ATX PSU with suitable cable kit and PS-ON# active.

2. Insert the DDR4 2133 module(s)

Be careful to push the memory module in the slot(s) before locking the tabs. Use SO-DIMM with the same memory density in both sockets!

3. Connecting interfaces

Insert all external cables for hard disk, keyboard etc. A monitor must be connected in order to change BIOS settings.

4. Connect and turn on PSU

Connect PSU to the board by the +12 V 3.0mm pitch 1x4-pin wafer connector.

5. BIOS setup

Enter the BIOS setup by pressing the <DEL> key during boot up.

Enter "Exit Menu" and Load Setup Defaults.

To clear all BIOS setting, including Password protection, activate "Clear CMOS Jumper" for 10 sec (without power connected).

6. Mounting the board in chassis

When mounting the board to chassis etc. please note that the board contains components on both sides of the PCB that can easily be damaged if board is handled without reasonable care. A damaged component can result in malfunction or no function at all.

3.5. Processor Support

The ECX-KBL-U is designed to support Intel® Kaby Lake U-Series Processors. The BGA CPU is remounted from factory. Kontron has defined the board versions as listed in the following table, so far all based on Embedded CPUs. Other versions are expected at a later date.

Table 4: Processor Support

Name Core # Speed Turbo Embedded Cache Socket TDP Tj

Core™ i3-7100U 2 2.40 GHz - Yes 3M FCBGA1356 15W 100°C

Core™ i7-7600U 2 2.80 GHz 3.90 GHz Yes 4M FCBGA1356 15W 100°C

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

3.6. System Memory Support

The ECX-KBL-U has two DDR4 SO-DIMM sockets. The sockets support the following memory features:

 2x DDR4 1.2V SO-DIMM 260-pin  Dual-channel with 1x SO-DIMM per channel  From 1GB and up to 2x 8GB  Single / dual rank unbuffered 2133 MT/s (PC4-17000)  SPD timing supported  ECC not supported

If only one SO-DIMM is used, then slot DIMM1 must be used as the primary slot (ChannelA).

If DIMM2 (Channel B) is populated, then the board will not boot.

If using 32bit OS then less than 4GB is displayed in System (Shared Video Memory/PCI resources is subtracted). Use SO-DIMM with the same memory density in both sockets!

The installed DDR4 SO-DIMM 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.

3.6.1. 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 SO-DIMMs and processor.

Table 5: Memory Operating Frequencies

ECX-KBL-U - User Guide, Rev. 1.0

www.kontron.com

// 21

SO-DIMM Type Module Name Memory Data

Transfer (MT/s)

Processor System Bus Frequency (MHz)

Resulting Memory Clock Frequency (MHz)

Peak Transfer Rate (MB/s)

DDR4 2133 PC4-17000 2133 1066 266 17066

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. Kontron guarantees that the above P/N will be maintained so that EOL module will be replaced by other similar type of qualified module.

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.

3.7. On-board Graphics Subsystem

The ECX-KBL-U supports Intel® Gen 9 / Gen 9.5 HD Graphics technology for high quality graphics capabilities. All ECXKBL-U versions support three displays pipes. The DP interface supports the DisplayPort 1.2a specification. The PCH supports High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection for high definition content playback over digital interfaces. The PCH also integrates audio codecs for audio support over DP interfaces.

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

Intel® HD Graphics

Features of the Intel® HD Graphics include:

 High quality graphics engine supporting

 3 Symmetric Pipe Support  DirectX12 and OpenGL 4.x compliant and lower  Full H.265, H.264, MPEG2, MVC, WMV9 HW Decode  VP8 Decode HW Acceleration  Advanced Scheduler 2.0, 1.0, XPDM support  DirectX12, OpenGL 4.4, OpenCL 2.1 support

Use of DP Adapter Converters (3rd party accessories) can provide HDMI panel support.

The DP to HDMI supports the HDMI 1.4a specification including audio codec.

Supporting 4K display requires two DDR channels of the same size. Performance degradations exists while running 4K content for systems using single channel system memory (compared to using dual channel).

High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)

HDCP is the technology used to protecting high-definition content against unauthorized copying or interception between the source (computer, digital set top boxes, and so on) and the sink (panels, monitor, and TVs). The ECXKBL-U supports HDCP 2.2 for content protection over-wired displays (HDMI, DVI, and DP). The HDCP 1.4 keys are integrated into the processor and customers are not required to physically configure or handle the keys.

3.8. Power Consumption

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 ECXKBL-U board must be powered through the ATX+12V-4p (4-pole) connector using standard ATX power supply.

ATX12V supply: ATX+12V-4p connector must be used in according to the ATX12V PSU standard.

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

The requirements to the supply voltages are as follows:
