the cooler. Different coolers are available on the market and some is not generating any airflow
or is blocking the airflow around these components, causing reduced lifetime.
: Make sure sufficient airflow is always present around the components located below
It is recommended to use a cooler like the Kontron
PN 1046-6305 “KTQ77 Cooler”.
The design of this cooler makes sure airflow is
always present around the components below the
cooler. Even if Fan is set to be off, it is still running
a minimum RPM (Rotation Per Minute).

Air blown out of the cooler
Components below the cooler
Note: The temperature of the air blown out of the cooler must be less than 60°C maximum, in order not to
overheat components near the CPU. However most CPU’s requires maximum 57,4°C, so in general, not to
violate the CPU specification the temperature of the air should be maximum ~55°C. Some of the 65W CPU’s
running full load and cooled by above cooler, might start throttling at 50°C ambient air temperature.

3.4 System Memory support
The KTH81/mITX, KTQ87/mITX and KTH81/Flex have two DDR3 UDIMM sockets while the KTQ87/Flex has
four DDR3 UDIMM sockets. The sockets support the following memory features:
• DDR3 1.5V/1.35V UDIMM 240-pin
• Dual-channel with 1 UDIMM per channel (2 UDIMM for KTQ87/Flex)
• From 1GB and up to 2x 8GB (4x 8GB for KTQ87/Flex).
o Note: Less than 4GB displayed in System Properties using 32bit OS
o (Shared Video Memory/PCI resources is subtracted)
• SPD timings supported
• ECC supported
The installed DDR3 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.
Memory Operating Frequencies
Regardless of the DIMM type used, the memory frequency will either be equal to or less than the processor
system bus frequency. For example, if DDR3 1600 memory is used with a 1333 MHz system bus frequency
processor, the memory clock will operate at 167 MHz. The table below lists the resulting operating memory
frequencies based on the combination of DIMMs and processor.
Memory modules have in general a much lower longevity than embedded motherboards, and therefor 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 60⁰C for a
minimum of 24 hours.

3.6 Power Consumption
In order to ensure safe operation of the board, the ATX12V power supply must monitor the supply voltage
and shut down if the supplies are out of range – refer to the hardware manual for 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, which require a minimum load to stay in regulation. The KTQ87/mITX / KTH81/mITX board
must powered through the ATX4P (4-pole) and the ATX24P (24-pole) connector using standard ATX power
supply.
ATX12V supply: Both ATX4P connector and ATX24P connector must be used in according to the ATX12V PSU
standard.
Warning: Hot Plugging power supply is not supported. Hot plugging might damage the board.

The KTQ87/KTH81 boards are designed to be supplied from a standard ATX (or BTX) power supply. Use of
BTX supply is not required for operation, but may be required to drive high-power PCIe cards.
Warning: Hot plugging any of the two power connectors is not allowed. Hot plugging might damage the
board. In other words, turn off main supply etc. to makesure all the power lines (+12V, 5V, SB5V, 3.3V, -5V,
-12V) are turned off when connecting to the motherboard.
Note 1: Use of both the ATX24P and the ATX4p connectors are required for operation of the KTQ87/KTH81.
See chapter “Power Consumption” regarding input tolerances on 3.3V, 5V, SB5V, +12 and -12V (also refer
to ATX specification version 2.2).
Signal Description
P_OK
PS_ON#
P_OK is power good signal driven by the ATX Power Supply and indicating that the +5VDC and
+3.3VDC outputs are above the undervoltage thresholds.
The recommended electrical and timing characteristics of the P_OK (PWR_OK) signal are
provided in the ATX12V Power SupplyDesign Guide.
It is strongly recommended to use an ATX or BTX supply, in order to provide supervision of the 5V
and 3V3 supplies. These supplies are not supervised on-board.
Active low open drain signal from the board to the power supply to turn on the power supply
outputs. Signal must be pulled high by the power supply.

7.4 PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse connector (KBD/MSE) (PS2)
Attachment of a PS/2 keyboard/mouse can be done through the pinrow connector KBD/MSE (Flex boards
only). Both interfaces utilize open-drain signalling with on-board pull-up.
The PS/2 mouse and keyboard is supplied from SB5V when in standby mode in order to enable keyboard or
mouse activity to bring the system out from power saving states. The supply is provided through a 1.1A
resettable fuse.
Note: The LVDS connector supports single and dual channel, 18/24bit SPWG panels up to a resolution of
1600x1200 or 1920x1080 and with limited frame rate up to 1920x1200.

Notes: Windows API will be available to operate the BKLTCTL signal. Some Inverters have a limited voltage
range 0- 2.5V for this signal: If voltage is > 2.5V the Inverter might latch up. Some Inverters
generates noise on the BKLTCTL signal, causing the LVDS transmission to fail (corrupted picture on
the display). By adding a 1Kohm resistor in series with this signal, mounted at the Inverter end of
the cable kit, the noise is limited and the picture is stable.
If the Backlight Enable is required to be active high then, check the following BIOS Chipset setting:
Backlight Signal Inversion = Enabled.

Interrupts on PCI are optional and defined as “level sensitive,” asserted low (negative true), using open drain output drivers. The
assertion and deassertion of INTx# is asynchronous to CLK. A device asserts its INTx# line when requesting attention from its device
driver. Once the INTx# signal is asserted, it remains asserted until the device driver clears the pending request. When the request is
cleared, the device deasserts its INTx# signal. PCI defines one interrupt line for a single function device and up to four interrupt
lines for a multi-function device or connector. For a single function device, only INTA# may be used while the other three interrupt
lines have no meaning.

Use external connectedsensorinsteadof onboard.
Note: System Temperature readout is the temperature measured by the selected sensor via System
Temperature Location. Example, if using same System Temperature Location selection for both System Fan
and System 2 Fan then System Temperature and System Temperature2 readout will be identical.
Note 1: When selecting LM75 @ 0x90 then the System Temperature and/or System Temperature 2 readout
will only be valid if the sensor is physically connected to the Feature connector.
Note 2: Three sets of settings (Fan Cruse Control, Fan Settings, Fan Min limit, Fan Max limit), one set for
System Fan, one set for System 2 Fan and one set for CPU Fan. The Fan Cruise Control is by default Disabled
for System Fan and System 2 Fan and by default Thermal for CPU Fan.
Note 3: ºC (if Fan Cruise Control is Thermal) use either digit keys to enter value or +/- keys to
increase/decrease value. Don’t use mix of digit keys and +/- keys.
Note 4: RPM (if Fan Cruise Control is Speed) use either digit keys to enter value or +/- keys to
increase/decrease value by 100. Don’t use mix of digit keys and +/- keys.
Note 5: Only visible if Fan Cruise Control is Thermal.
Note6: Use number keys to enter value.
Note 7: Seconds, use digit keys to enter value. Value 0 means Watchdog is disabled. Refer to “KT-API-V2
User Manual” to control the Watchdog via API or refer to “KT-API-V2 User Manual DLL” how to control
Watchdog via Windows DLL.
Use external connected sensor instead of
onboard.
Disabled = Full speed.
Thermal: Regulate according to specified ºC.
Speed: Regulate according to specified RPM.
Minimum PWM %, can be used to make sure
fan is always active. Make sure Min limit <
Max limit.
Maximum PWM %, can be used to limit the
fan noise. Make sure Min limit < Max limit.
0 = Disabled.
Enter the service interval in seconds before
system will reset.
