This manual describes the KTH81/mITX, KTQ87/mITX, KTH81/Flex & KTQ87/Flex boards made by KONTRON
Technology A/S. The boards will also be denoted KTQ87 & KTH81.
The KTQ87/KTH81 boards are based on the Q87/H81 chipsets supporting 4
i5 2Core and 4Core desktop processors, Haswell Dual Core Pentium and Haswell Dual Core Celeron. See
“Processor Support Table” for more specific details.
The differences between the four types of boards are listed in this table:
Use of this Users Guide implies a basic knowledge of PC-AT hard- and software. This manual is focused on
describing the KTQ87 / KTH81 board’s special features and is not intended to be a standard PC-AT 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. Only exceptions are the “Clear CMOS” Jumper and the “Always On” jumper.
Latest revision of this manual, datasheet, BIOS, drivers, BSP’s (Board Support Packages), Mechanical
drawings (2D and 3D) can be downloaded from here: http://www.kontron.com/products/boards-and-

Note: To clear all BIOS settings, including Password protection, activate “Load Default BIOS Settings”
2 Installation Procedure
2.1 Installing the Board
To get the board running follow these steps. If the board shipped from KONTRON has already components
like RAM and CPU cooler mounted, then relevant steps below can be skipped.
1. Turn off the PSU (Power Supply Unit)
Warning: Turn off PSU (Power Supply Unit) completely (no mains power connected to the PSU) or
(RAM, LAN cards etc.) might get damaged. Make sure only to use standard ATX PSU. Running the
board with non-compliant ATX PSU may damage the board within minutes.
2. Insert the DDR3 DIMM 240pin DIMM module(s)
Be careful to push it in the slot(s) before locking the tabs. For a list of approved DDR3 DIMMs contact your
Distributor or FAE. See also chapter “System Memory Support”.
3. Install the processor
The CPU is keyed and will only mount in the CPU socket in one way. Use finger to open/ close the CPU
socket. Refer to supported processor overview for details.
4. Cooler Installation
Make sure the heat paste etc. on the cooler is intact and cover the full area of the CPU. Connect Cooler
Fan electrically to the FAN_CPU connector.
5. Connecting Interfaces
Insert all external cables for hard disk, keyboard etc. A monitor must be connected in order to change
BIOS settings.
6. Connect and turn on PSU
Connect PSU to the board by the ATXPWR (24pole power plug) and the ATX4p (4-pole power plug).
7. Power Button
If the board does not start by itself when switching on the ATX PSU AC mains, then follow these
instructions to start the board. Install the Always On Jumper in the Always On position or toggle the
PWRBTN_IN# signal (available in the FRONTPNL connector), by momentary shorting pins 16
(PWRBTN_IN#) and pin 18 (GND). A “normally open” switch is recommended.
8. BIOS Setup
Enter the BIOS setup by pressing the <F2> key during boot up.
Enter “Exit Menu” and Load Setup Defaults.
Refer to the “BIOS Configuration / Setup“ section of this manual for details on BIOS setup.
Jumper for ⋲10 sec (without power connected).

• That the enclosure of the peripheral device fulfils the fire protecting requirements of IEC60950.
9. Mounting the board in chassis
Warning: 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 using screws with integrated washer and a
diameter of ⋲7mm. Do not use washers with teeth, as they can damage the PCB and cause short circuits.
2.2 Requirements IEC60950
Take care when designing chassis interface connectors in order to fulfil the IEC60950 standard.
When an interface or connector has a VCC (or other power) pin which is directly connected to a power plane
like the VCC plane:
To protect the external power lines of the peripheral devices the customer has to ensure:
• Wires have suitable rating to withstand the maximum available power.

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 requirements to the supply voltages are as follows:
Supply Min Max Note
VCC3.3 3.135V 3.465V
Should be ±5% for compliance with the ATX specification
Vcc 4.75V 5.25V
Should be ±5% for compliance with the ATX specification.
Should be +5/ -0% to meet the USB standard.
+12V 11.4V 12.6V
–12V –13.2V –10.8V
