FlexATX-KBL-S-C236 – Rev. 1.4
1/ Introduction
This manual describes the FlexATX Kabylake S board. This board will also be denoted FlexATX-KBL-S within this
Users Guide.
The use of this Users Guide implies a basic knowledge of PC hard- and software. This manual is focussed on
describing the FlexATX-KBL-S board’s special features and is not intended to be a standard PC textbook.
New users are recommended to study the short installation procedure stated in the following chapter before
switching on the power.
All configuration and setup of the CPU board is either done automatically or manually by the user via the BIOS setup
menus.
Latest revision of this manual, datasheet, BIOS, drivers and BSP’s (Board Support Packages) can be downloaded
from Kontron Web Page.

3/ Installation procedure
3.1. Packing Check List
The FlexATX-KBL-S package includes the following basic items accompany with this manual.
One main board
One IO shield
If any of these items are damaged or missed, please contact your vendor and save all packing materials for future
replacement and maintenance.
Note: The above packing list is for standard single box packing only.
3.2. Installing the Board
ESD Sensitive Device!
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry.
• 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 (OK: 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 has already components like RAM
and CPU cooler mounted, then the next steps below can be skipped.
Only connect to a power supply delivering the specified input rating and complying with the
requirements of Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) and Limited Power Source (L.P.S.) of IEC
60950-1 and the Energy sources (ES1) of IEC 62368-1.
1.
Turn off PSU 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 +12V single supply
only. Alternatively use a standard ATX PSU with suitable cable kit and PS_ON# active.
2.
Be careful to push it in the slot(s) before locking the tabs. For a list of approved SO-DIMMs contact your
Distributor or FAE. See also chapter “System Memory Support”. Use SO-DIMM with the same memory density in
both sockets.
3.
The FlexATX-KBL-S comes with a passive heatsink pre-installed and a separate fan, which can be mounted
onto the heatsink, should the system require additional airflow. Connect Cooler Fan electrically to the FANCPU
connector.
4.
s
Insert all external cables for hard disk, keyboard etc. A monitor must be connected in order to change BIOS
settings.

FlexATX-KBL-S-C236 – Rev. 1.4
Connect and turn on PSU
Power Button
BIOS Setup
5.
Connect PSU to the board by the ATX-24-pin connector.
6.
If the board does not start by itself when switching on the ATX/DC PSU AC mains, then follow these instructions
to start the board.
7.
Enter the BIOS setup by pressing the <F2> key during boot up.
Enter “Exit Menu” and Load Setup Defaults.
To clear all BIOS settings, including Password protection, activate “Load Default BIOS
Settings” Jumper for > 10 sec (without power connected).
8. Mounting the board in chassis
When mounting the board to chassis etc. please notice that the board contains components
on both sides of the PCB which can easily be damaged if board is handled without
reasonable care. A damaged component can result in malfunction or no function at all.
When fixing the Motherboard on a chassis it is recommended to use screws with integrated washer and a
diameter of > 7 mm. Do not use washers with teeth, as they can damage the PCB and cause short circuits.
Recommended Power Supply for KabyLake motherboard should be above or equal to 473 W.
144BThe ATX 12V specification does not clearly state a requirement for the ramp-up of the 5VSB
standby voltage. However, we strongly recommend to use only PSUs where the 5VSB ramp
up follows the same rules as listed for +5VDC.
145BThis should ensure that the board behaves properly, in particular when powering up without
or with a weak/empty battery.
3.3. Requirements IEC60950-1
Take care when designing chassis interface connectors in order to fulfil the IEC60950-1 standard.
Users of FlexATX-KBL-S must evaluate the end product to ensure compliance the requirements of the IEC60950-1
safety standard are met:
The motherboard must be installed in a suitable mechanical, electrical and fire enclosure.
The system in its enclosure must be evaluated for temperature and air flow considerations.
The motherboard must be powered by a CSA or UL approved power supply that limits the maximum input
current to 10 A via 24-pin ATX connector.
For interfaces having a power pin such as external power or fan, ensure that the connectors and wires are
suitably rated. All connections from or to the product shall be with Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) circuits
only.
Wires have suitable rating to withstand the maximum available power.
The enclosure of the peripheral device fulfills the fire protecting requirements of IEC60950-1.
www.kontron.com // 13
If any of the supply voltages drops below the allowed operating level longer than the
specified hold-up time, all the supply voltages should be shut down and left OFF for a time
long enough to allow the internal board voltages to discharge sufficiently.
If the OFF time is not observed, parts of the board or attached peripherals may work
incorrectly or even suffer a reduction of MTBF.
The minimum OFF time depends on the implemented PSU model and other electrical factors
and needs to be measured individually for each case.

Table 2: Environmental Conditions
Operating 0°C to +60°C (32°F~140°F) operating temperature (forced cooling).
It is the customer’s responsibility to provide sufficient airflow around each of the
components to keep them within allowed temperature range. 50 % to 90 % relative
humidity (non-condensing)
Storage -40°C to~70°C (-40°F~176°F); lower limit of storage temperature is defined by specification
restriction of on-board CR2032 battery.
Intel CPUs and PCHs only support commercial temperature ranges (0° to 60°C), but the
board will be tested to extended temperatures (-25° to +70°C) with standard cooler running
at maximum speed to provide overall stability report at extended temperature ranges.
Absolute margin test will be performed to obtain absolute limits of the board, when the
board stops to operate properly.

5/ Jumpers and Connectors
5.1. Hardware Configuration Setting
This chapter gives the definitions and shows the positions of jumpers, headers and connectors. All of the
configuration jumpers on the board are in the proper position. The default settings shipped from factory are marked
with an asterisk (*).
In general, jumpers on the board are used to select options for certain features. Some of the jumpers are designed to
be user-configurable, allowing for system enhancement. The others are for testing purpose only and should not be
altered. To select any option, cover the jumper cap over (SHORT) or remove (NC) it from the jumper pins according to
the following instructions. Here, NC stands for “Not Connect”.
