When adding expansion devices always consider the PSU’s maximum power consumption.
5.3.1. On-board mPCIE Expansion Card
The on-board mPCIe slot supports one mPCIe x1 (full-size or half-size) mPCIe expansion card using the following
interface types:
PCIe Gen 3 interface, (Smart variant)
PCIe Gen 2 interface. (Value variant)
Due to limited internal space, not every M.2 module/mPCIe card combination is possible. Before installing a mPCIe
expansion card (full-size or half-size), users must consider the form factor of the M.2 module’s that populates the
neighboring M.2 socket. No mPCIe card may be installed when a 2280 M.2 SSD modules populates the neighboring
M.2 socket. Whereas, both half-size and full size mPCIe cards may be installed when a M.2 2242 SSD modules
populates the neighboring M.2 socket. For the allowed M.2 SSD module/mPCIe card combinations, see Table 3.
For the KBox B-202-CFL Wi-Fi option the mPCIe socket is populated with a half-size mPCIe Wi-Fi card and the M.2
socket use is restricted to a M.2 2242 SSD module.
On-board space restriction limits the M.2 SSD Module and mPCIe card combination. For more
information, see Table 3: M.2 SSD Module and mPCIe Expansion Card Combinations
5.3.2. PCIe Expansion Cards
Up to two PCIe slots (full-height, or half-length) are supported. Due to limited internal space, if the internal 2.5” SSD
drive(s) is/are installed only one PCIe slots is available. The supported PCIe expansion card types are:

Under voltage condition due to a drop in the
mains power supply voltage
If there is an unintentional voltage drop in the mains power supply for longer than the
specified holdup time (brownout), then all supply voltages should be shut down and remain
in the off state long enough to allow internal voltages to discharge sufficiently. During the
off state time do not disconnect an add cables to/from the I/O connectors. Failure to
observe this off state time means that parts of the system or attached peripherals may
work incorrectly or suffer a reduction of MTBF.
The minimum off state time, to allow internal voltages to discharge, depends on the
implemented PSU model and additional electrical factors. To determine the required off
state time, each case must be considered individually. For more information, contact
Kontron Support.
