1. Product Description

1.1 Product Overview

Designed with an extensive feature-set and for up to two Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series quad-core
processors or up to two Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series six-core processors, the cost-effective Kontron
KTC5520-EATX SSI EEB-compliant server board offers extreme performance, high I/O bandwidth and
exceptional reliability. This Kontron server board is expected to serve OEMs in the designing of multiple
applications found in the medical imaging, simulation, storage and multimedia telecom and data center
markets.

An attractive selling point for network managers is the server board’s built-in ability to be fully managed
remotely.Kontron uses an Integrated Management Processor (IMP) that integrates VGA/2D, Baseboard
Management Controler (BMC), and a Keyboard, Video, Mouse / Virtual Media (KVM/VM) emulator over IP to
support real-time access from any computer, anywhere. Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI)

2.0 compliant using IPMI over LAN, the server board provides the OS-independent and cross-platform
interface for monitoring the server system’s temperature, voltage, and fan status, among other items, and
permits out-of-band management even when the main processors are not powered-in.

KVM over IP gives the possibility to work on the server and troubleshoot it from anywhere if there is any
problem. The VM over IP allows administrators to get a virtual local drive to target servers from a remote
drive (floppy, CD/DVD-ROM, flash device, HDD). With this tool, it is possible to install software/OS remotely
for convenient installation. IPMI proactively sends alarms about environmental issues that could threaten
the server's services, therefore reducing system downtime and operation costs.

Among an incredible feature-set, the Kontron KTC5520-EATX server board provides one dual port GbE
controller, eight USB 2.0 ports, four of them are accessible internally through two 9 pins headers; one of
these header is compliant with USB flash drive mezzanine, one TPM 1.2 header, one PCI 32 bits/33 MHz slot,
one PCI-Express x4 Gen1 and four x8 PCI-Express Gen2 slots. It also features six SATA II connectors, seven
fan headers, VGA, legacy PS/2 keyboard/mouse and HD audio interfaces.

The Kontron KTC5520-EATX server board uses the Intel® IOH 36D (I/OAT, VT-d) and Intel® ICH10R chipset
that offer significant new enhancements to accelerate I/O traffic and lower CPU utilization in both native and
virtualized environments. Memory options features are: 12 DDR3 ECC Registered DIMMs for up to 96GB DDR3
800/1066/1333 MHz. There are three channels of two DIMM sockets per CPU. Software support includes

5.1 AMI BIOS Setup Program

All relevant information for operating the board and connected peripherals are stored in the CMOS memory
backed-up by a battery or in the main BIOS flash and EEPROM. The latest is the default configuration.

5.1.1 Accessing the BIOS Setup Utility

The system BIOS (Basic Input Output System) provides an interface between the operating system and the
hardware of the KTC5520/EATX board. It uses the AMI Setup program, a setup utility in flash memory that is
accessed by pressing the <DEL> (or <F4> from a console redirection terminal) key at the appropriate time
during system boot. This utility is used to set configuration data in CMOS RAM.

To run the AMI Setup program incorporated in the ROM BIOS:

• Turn on or reboot the system.

• When you get the following messages, hit <DEL> key to enter SETUP.

ATAPI Removable Media Device (ARMD) is a
device that uses removable media, such as the
LS120, MO (Magneto-Optical), or Iomega Zip
drives. If you want to boot up from media on an
ARMD, it is required that you emulate boot up
from a floppy or hard disk drive. This is
especially necessary when trying to boot to
DOS. You can select the type of emulation used
if you are booting from such a device.
