Warning: Turn off PSU (Power Supply Unit) 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.
Do not use PSU’s without 3.3V monitoring watchdog, which is standard feature in ATX PSU’s.

Running the board without 3.3V connected will damage the board after a few minutes.

!

1 Installation procedure

1.1 Installing the board

To get the board ru nning, foll ow thes e s teps. I n som e c ases t he bo ard sh ipped from KONTRON Technology
has DDR3 DRAM mounted. In this case Step 2 can be skipped.

1. Turn off the power supply

2. Insert the DDR3 DIMM 240pin DRAM module(s)

Be careful to push it i n the slot(s) before locking the t abs. For a list of approved DDR3 DIM M modules
contact your Distributor or FAE.
DDR3-800/1066 DIMM 240pin DRAM modules (PC3-6400/PC3-8500) are supported.

3. Install the processor

The CPU is keyed and will onl y mount in th e CPU soc k et in one wa y. Use the ha ndle to open/ close th e
CPU socket. The Intel® Co re™2 Q uad , Inte l® Core™2 Duo in the LGA775 package are supported, r ef er
to supported processor overview for details.

Opening the socket:
Apply pressure to the corn er with r ight hand t humb while op ening/c losing the l oad lever, otherwis e lever ca n
bounce back like a “mouse trap” and WILL cause bent contacts (when loaded)

1. Disengage Load Lever by depressing down and out on the hook to clear retention tab

2. Rotate Load Lever to fully open position at approximately 135°

3. Rotate Load Plate to fully open position at approximatel y 100°

Remove Socket Protective Cover

With left hand index f inger and t hum b to support the load p late ed ge, engage protecti ve cover f inger tab wit h
right hand thumb and pee l the cover from LGA775 Sock et while pressing on center of protective co ver to
assist in removal.
Set protective cover aside. Always put cover back on if the processor is removed from the socket.

IMPORTANT: For return goods (RMA): warranty is void if returne d witho ut Protec t iv e cover .

Do NOT touch socket contacts

NOTE: Regardless of the Memory

configuration used, DDR3 SLOT 1

(J1) must always be populated.

KTD-00782-H KTQ45 family Page 10 of 92

!

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.

Visually inspect protective cover fo r damage
If damage observed, replace the cover.
Note: After cover removal, make sure socket load plat e and c o ntac ts ar e f r ee of f or eign material. Debris m ay
be removed with compressed air.

Note: Removing protective cover after CPU insertion will compromise the ability to visually inspect socket.
Processor Installation

Locate Connection 1 indicator and the two orientation key notches.
Grasp the processor with thumb and index finger. (Grasp the edges without the orientation notches.)
The socket has cutouts for your fingers to fit into.
Carefully place the pack age into the socket body using a purel y vertical motion. (Tilting the process or into
place or shifting it into place on the socket can damage the sensitive socket contacts.)
CAUTION: Recommend not to use a Vacuum Pen for installation.
Verify that package is within the socket body and properly mated to the orientation keys
Close the socket by:

A. Close the Load Plate
B. While pressing down lightly on Load Plate, engage the Load Lever.
C. Secure Load Lever with Load Plate tab under retention tab of Load Lever

4. Cooler Installation

Use heat paste or adhesive pads between CPU and cooler and connect the Fan electrically to the
FAN_CPU connector.

5. Connecting Interfaces

Insert all external cables for hard disk, keyboard etc. A CRT monitor must be connected in order to
change CMOS settings . When using boota ble SATA disk, then c onnect to SATA0 or SATA2 or select in
BIOS “ATA/IDE Conf ig urati on” = Enhance d.

6. Connect Power supply

Connect power su pp ly to the board by th e AT X / BTXPWR and 4-pi n AT X c onn ectors. For board to op er at e
connection of both the ATX/BTX and 4-pin ATX (12V) connectors are required.

7. Turn on the power on the ATX/ BTX power supply

8. Power Button

The PWRBTN_IN must be toggled to start the Power supply; this is done by shorting pins 16
(PWRBTN_IN) a nd pin 18 (G ND) on the FRO NTPNL connec tor (see Co nnector descr iption). A “norm ally
open” switch can be connected via the FRONTPNL connector.

9. BIOS Setup

Enter the BIOS setup by pressing the <Del> key during boot up.
Enter Exit Menu and Load Optimal Defaults.
Refer to the “BIOS Configuration / Setup“ section of this manual for details on BIOS set up .

10. Mounting the board to chassis

When fixing the Motherboard on a chassis it is recommended using screws with integrated washer and
having diameter of ~7mm.

Note: Do not use washers with teeth, as they can damage the PCB mounting hole / cause short circuit.

Note: To clear all CMOS settings, including Password protection, move the Clr-CMOS jumper

(with/without power) for ~1 minute. This will also disable any Secure CMOS setup on the board.
Alternatively, turn off power and r emove t he batter y for 1 m inute, but be car eful to orien tate the battery

correctly when reinserted.

2.4 System Memory support

The KTQ45 boards have four onboard DDR3 DIMM sockets and support the following memory features:
DDR3-800/1066 DIMM 240pin DRAM modules (PC3-6400/PC3-8500)

• 1.5V (only) 240-pin DDR3 SDR AM DIMMs with go ld-plated contacts

• DDR3-800 (PC3-6400), DDR3-1066 (PC3-8500) SDRAM DIMMs

• DDR3-800/1066 DIMM with SPD timings supported

• Unbuffered, single-sided x8/x16 or double-sided x8/x16 DIMMs

• 16 GB (4 x 4GB) maximum total system memory using 64-bit OS. (Shared Video Memory is

withdrawn).

• 4 GB maximum total system memory using 32-bit OS. ~3GB is displayed in System Properties.
(Shared Video Memory is withdrawn).

• Minimum total system memory: 512 MB

• Non-ECC DIMMs

• Serial Presence Detect

The installed DDR3 SDRAM s hould s uppor t the S eria l Pres enc e Detec t (SP D) da ta s tr uctur e. This allows the
BIOS to read and config ure the m emor y controller for optimal perf orm ance. 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 t ype used, the m emory frequenc y will either be equa l to or less than the process or
system bus frequenc y. For example, if DDR3 800 mem ory is used with an 800 MHz system bus frequency
processor, the m emory clock will o perate at 400 MH z. The table below lists th e resulting oper ating mem ory
frequencies based on the combination of DIMMs and processors.

• Faster RAM like PC3-10600 can be used but will run at lower speed.

Memory Configurations

The KTQ45 boards support the following three types of memory organization:

1. Dual channel ( Interle ave d) m ode. T his mode of fers the highest through put. D ual cha nnel m ode is enabled
when the installed m emory capacities of both DIMM c hannels are equal. Tec hnology and device width ca n
vary from one channel to the oth er but the installed memory capacity for each channe l must be equal. If
different speed DIMMs are used between channels, the slowest memory timing will be used.

2. Single channel (As ymmetric) mode. T his mode is equivalent to s ingle channel band width operation. T his
mode is used when onl y a single DIMM is insta lled or the mem ory capacities of channel A is bigger th an of
channel B. Technolog y and device width can var y from one channel to the o ther. If diff erent speed DIMMs
are used between channels, the slowest memory timing will be used.

3. Flex mode. This mode pr ovides th e m ost f lexible pe rf ormanc e charac teristics and is used if both chan nels
are populated and at the same time the memory capacities of channel A is smaller than of channel B.

KTD-00782-H KTQ45 family Page 19 of 92

Channel B will be di vided i nto two p arts . One par t of chann el B is used togeth er with chan nel A and m appe d
to dual channel operation. The second part of channel B is mapped to single channel operation.

Note:

Regardless of the mem ory configuration Dual Channel, Single Channel or Flex, the DIMMA1 must always
be populated. This is a requirement of the Intel® Management Engine.

The below tables shows examples of possible Memory slot configurations for the support of the various
Memory modes.

• Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT 5.0) support up to 352 MB

2.5.2 DVMT 5.0 support

DVMT (Dynamic Video Mem ory Technology driven b y OS driver) enables enhanced graphic s and memory
performance through hig hly efficient memory utilization. DVMT ens ures the most efficient use of available
system memory for maximum 2-D/3-D graphics performance. Up to 352 MB of system memory can be
allocated to DVMT on s ystems that have 512 MB or more of total system memory installed. DVMT returns
system memor y back to the operating s ystem when the additio nal system memor y is no longer required by
the graphics subsystem.
DVMT will always use a m inimal fixed portion of system physical memory (as set in the BIOS Setup) for
compatibility with legac y applications. An example of this would be when usi ng VGA graphics under DOS.
Once loaded, the operating system and graphics drive rs allocate additional s ystem memory to the graphic s
buffer as needed for performing graphics functions.

KTD-00782-H KTQ45 family Page 21 of 92

2.5.3 ADD2 card support

Signal Description

P_OK

P_OK is a power good sig nal and should be asserted high b y the power supply to indicate

that the +5VDC and +3.3V DC outputs are above the under voltage thresholds of the power
supply. When this signal is asserted high, there should be sufficient energy stored by the
converter to guarantee continuous power operation within specification. Conversely, when the
output voltages fall below the under voltage

threshold, or when mains power has been

removed for a time suf ficiently long so t hat power supply operation is no longer guara nteed,
P_OK should be de-

asserted to a low state. The recommended electrical and timing

characteristics of the P_OK (PWR_OK) signal are provided in the ATX12V Power Supply
Design Guide.

It is strongly recommended to use an ATX or BTX supply with the KTQ 45 boards, in order to
implement the supervision of the 5V and 3V3 supplies. These supplies are not s upervised
onboard the KTQ45 boards.

PS_ON# Ac tive low open drain s ignal from the board to th e power supply to turn on the power s upply

outputs. Signal must be pulled high by the power supply.

3.3 Keyboard and Mouse connector s

Attachment of a keyboard or PS/2 mouse adapter can be done through the stacked PS/2 mouse and
keyboard connector (MSE & KBD).

Both interfaces utilize open-drain signalling with on-board pull-up.
The PS/2 mouse and ke yboard is sup plied f rom SB5V when in stan db y mode in order to e nable k eyboar d or

mouse activity to bring the system out from power saving states. The supply is provided through a 1.1A
resettable fuse.

3.6 Serial ATA Hard Disk interface

The KTQ45 boards have a n integrated SATA Host contr oller that supports independe nt DMA operation on
six ports and data transf er rates of up to 3. 0Gb/s (300MB/s ). The SAT A controller suppor ts AHCI m ode and
has integrated RAID f unctionality with support f or RAID modes 0, 1, 5 a nd 10 (Linux O/S only suppor t for
RAID 0 and 1).

The board provides five Serial ATA (SATA) connectors which support one device per connector. The
ICH10DO Serial ATA controller offers six independent Serial ATA ports with a theoretic al maxim um transfer
rate of 3 Gbit/sec per port. One device can be installed on each port for a maximum of six Serial ATA
devices. A point-to-point interface is used for host to device connections, unlike Parallel ATA IDE which
supports a master/slave configuration and two devices per channel.

For compatibility, the u nderlying Serial ATA functio nality is transparent to the op erating system. The Serial
ATA controller can operate in bot h legacy and native modes. In legacy mode, standard IDE I/O a nd IRQ
resources are assigned (I RQ 14 and 15). In N ative mode, stan dard PCI Convent ional bus res ource steering
is used. Native mode is th e preferred mode for configurations using th e W indows XP and W indows Vista
operating systems.

The KTQ45 supports the following RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Drives) levels:

• RAID 0 - data st riping

• RAID 1 - data mirroring

• RAID 0+1 (or RAID 10) - data striping and mirroring

• RAID 5 - distributed parity

Limitations depending on Target Operating System apply.
Note: On the KTQ45 ther e is no par allel AT A or CF interf ace, but on the m arket it’s possible t o find dif ferent

SATA converters to support CF etc.
In case CF card shall be u sed as hot pl ug device th en it is recomm ended to use USB to CF a dapter. (S ATA
to CF adapter doesn’t support hot plug).

Signal

Description

TxD Transmitted Data, sends serial data to the c ommunications link. T he signal is set to the marking

state (-12V) on hardwar e reset when the transmitter is empty or when loop mode operation is

initiated.
RxD Received Data, receives serial data from the communications link.
DTR Data Terminal Read y, indicates to the modem or data s et that the on-board UART is ready to

establish a communication link.
DSR Data Set Ready, indicates that t he modem or data set is read y to establish a communications

link.
RTS Request To Send, indicates to the modem or data set that the on-

board UART is ready to

exchange data.
CTS Clear To Send, indicates that the modem or data set is ready to exchange data.
DCD Data Carrier Detect, indicates that the modem or data set has detected the data carrier.
RI Ring Indicator, indicates that the modem has received a ringing signal from the telephone line.

3.21.1 Signal Description – PCI Slot Connector

SYSTEM PINS

CLK

Clock provides timing for all transactions on PCI and is an input to every PCI device. All other PCI signals,
except RST#, INTA#, INTB#, INTC#, and INTD#, are sampled on the risingedge of CLK and all other
timing parameters are defined with respect to this edge. PCI operates at 33MHz.

RST#

Reset is used to bring PCI-specific registers, sequencers, and signals to a consistent state. What effect
RST# has on a device beyond the PCI sequencer is beyond the scope of this specification, except for
reset states of required PCI configuration registers. Anytime RST# is asserted, all PCI output signals must

be driven to their benign state. In general, this means they must be asynchronously tri-stated. SERR#
(open drain) is floated. REQ# and GNT# must both be tri-

stated (they cannot be driven low or high during

reset). To prevent AD, C/BE#, and PAR signals from flo

ating during reset, the central resource may drive

these lines during reset (bus parking) but only to a logic low level–they may not be driven high.

RST# may be asynchronous to CLK when asserted or deasserted. Although asynchronous, deassertion is

guaranteed to be a clean, bounce-

free edge. Except for configuration accesses, only devices that are

required to boot the system will respond after reset.

ADDRESS AND DATA

AD[31::00]

Address and Data are multiplexed on the same PCI pins. A bus transaction consists of an a ddr ess ph ase

followed by one or more data phases. PCI supports both read and write bursts.

The address phase is the clock cycle in which FRAME# is asserted. During the address phase AD[31::00]

contain a physical address (32 bits). For I/O,

this is a byte address; for configuration and memory, it is a

DWORD address. During data phases AD[07::00] contain the least significant byte (lsb) and AD[31::24]

contain the most significant byte (msb). Write data is stable and valid when IRDY# is asserted and read

data is stable and valid when TRDY# is asserted. Data is transferred during those clocks where both
IRDY# and TRDY# are asserted.

C/BE[3::0]#

Bus Command and Byte Enables are multiplexed on the same PCI pins. During the address phase of a
transaction, C/BE[3::0]# define the bus command. During the data phase C/BE[3::0]# are used as Byte
Enables. The Byte Enables are valid for the entire data phase and determine which byte lanes carry
meaningful data. C/BE[0]# applies to byte 0 (lsb) and C/BE[3]# applies to byte 3 (msb).

PAR

Parity is even parity across AD[31::00] and C/BE[3::0]#. Parity generation is required by all PCI agents.
PAR is stable and valid one clock after the address phase. For data phases, PAR is stable and valid one

clock afte

r either IRDY# is asserted on a write transaction or TRDY# is asserted on a read transaction.

Once PAR is valid, it remains valid until one clock after the completion of the current data phase. (PAR

has the same timing as AD[31::00], but it is delayed by one clock.) The master drives PAR for address and

write data phases; the target drives PAR for read data phases.

INTERFACE CONTROL PINS

FRAME#

Cycle Frame is driven by the current master to indicate the beginning and duration of an access. FRAME#

is

asserted to indicate a bus transaction is beginning. While FRAME# is asserted, data transfers continue.

When FRAME# is deasserted, the transaction is in the final data phase or has completed.

IRDY#

Initiator Ready indicates the initiating agent’s (bus master’s) ability to complete the current data phase of
the transaction. IRDY# is used in conjunction with TRDY#. A data phase is completed on any clock both

IRDY# and TRDY# are sampled asserted. During a write, IRDY# indicates that valid data is present on

AD[31::00]. During a read, it indicates the master is prepared to accept data. Wait cycles are inserted until
both IRDY# and TRDY# are asserted together.

TRDY#

Target Ready indicates the target agent’s (selected device’s) ability to complete the current data phase of
the transaction. TRDY# is used in conjunction with IRDY#. A data phase is completed on any clock both
TRDY# and IRDY# are sampled asserted. During a read, TRDY# indicates that valid data is present on

AD[31::00]. During a write, it indicates

the target is prepared to accept data. Wait cycles are inserted until

both IRDY# and TRDY# are asserted together.

STOP#

Stop indicates the current target is requesting the master to stop the current transaction.

LOCK#

Lock indicates an atomic operation that may require multiple transactions to complete. When LOCK# is

asserted, non-

exclusive transactions may proceed to an address that is not currently locked. A grant to

start a transaction on PCI does not guarantee control of LOCK#. Control of LOCK# is obtained under its

own protocol in conjunction with GNT#. It is possible for different agents to use PCI while a single master
retains ownership of LOCK#. If a device implements Executable Memory, it should also implement LOCK#

and guarantee complete access

exclusion in that memory. A target of an access that supports LOCK#

must provide exclusion to a minimum of 16 bytes (aligned). Host bridges that have system memory behind
them should implement LOCK# as a target from the PCI bus point of view and optionally as a master.

IDSEL

Initialization Device Select is used as a chip select during configuration read and write transactions.

DEVSEL#

Device Select, when actively driven, indicates the driving device has decoded its address as the target of
the current access. As an input, DEVSEL# indicates whether any device on the bus has been selected.

(Continues)

KTD-00782-H KTQ45 family Page 51 of 92

ARBITRATION PINS (BUS MASTERS ONLY)

REQ#

Request indicates to the arbiter that this agent desires use of the bus. This is a point to point signal. Every
master has its own REQ# which must be tri-stated while RST# is asserted.

GNT#

Grant indicates to the agent that access to the bus has been granted. This is a point to point signal. Every

master has its own GNT# which must be ignored while RST# is asserted.
While RST# is asserted, the arbiter must ignore all REQ# lines since they are tri-stated and do not contain

a valid request. The arbiter can only perform arbitration after RST# is deasserted. A master must ignore

its GNT# while RST# is asserted. REQ# and GNT# are tri-

state signals due to power sequencing

requirements when 3.3V or 5.0V only add-in boards are used with add-in boards that use a universal I/O

buffer.

ERROR REPORTING PINS.

The error reporting pins are required by all devices and maybe asserted when enabled

PERR#

Parity Error is only for the reporting of data parity errors during all PCI transactions except a Special

Cycle. The PERR# pin is sustained tri-

state and must be driven active by the agent receiving data two

clocks following

the data when a data parity error is detected. The minimum duration of PERR# is one

clock for each data phase that a data parity error is detected. (If sequential data phases each have a data

parity error, the PERR# signal will be asserted for more than a single clock.) PERR# must be driven high
for one clock before being tri-stated as with all sustained tri-

state signals. There are no special conditions

when a data parity error may be lost or when reporting of an error may be delayed. An agent cannot report

a PERR# until it has claimed the access by asserting DEVSEL# (for a target) and completed a data phase
or is the master of the current transaction.

SERR#

System Error is for reporting address parity errors, data parity errors on the Special Cycle command, or

any other system error where the result will be catastrophic. If an agent does not want a non-maskable

interrupt (NMI) to be generated, a different reporting mechanism is required. SERR# is pure open drain

and is actively driven for a single PCI cloc

k by the agent reporting the error. The assertion of SERR# is

synchronous to the clock and meets the setup and hold times of all bused signals. However, the restoring

of SERR# to the deasserted state is accomplished by a weak pullup (same value as used for s/t/s) which
is provided by the system designer and not by the 51signaling agent or central resource. This pull-up may

take two to three clock periods to fully restore SERR#. The agent that reports SERR#s to the operating
system does so anytime SERR# is sampled asserted.

INTERRUPT PINS (OPTIONAL).

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.

INTA#

Interrupt A is used to re que st an inter rup t.

INTB#

Interrupt B is used to request an interrupt and only has meaning on a multi-function device.

INTC#

Interrupt C is used to request an interrupt and only has meaning on a multi-function device.

INTD#

Interrupt D is used to request an interrupt and only has meaning on a multi-function device.

6 Overview of BIOS Features

This section details specific BIOS features for the KTQ45 board.
The KTQ45 board is based on the AMI BIOS core version 8.1 0 with Kon tr on BIO S extens i ons.

6.1 System Management BIOS (SMBIOS/DMI)

SMBIOS is a Desktop Management Interface (DMI) compliant method for managing computers in a
managed network.

The main component of SMBIOS is th e Management Information Format (MIF) data base, which contains
information about the c omputing system and its compone nts. Using SMBIOS, a system adm inistrator can
obtain the system types, capabilities, operational status, and installation dates for system components.

The MIF database defines the data and provides the method for accessing this information. The BIOS
enables applications such as third-party management software to use SMBIOS.

The BIOS stores and reports the following SMBIOS information:

• BIOS data, such as the BIOS revision level

• Fixed-system data, such as peripherals, serial numbers, and asset tags

• Resource data, such as memory size, cache size, and processor speed

• Dynamic data, such as event detection and error logging
Non-Plug and Play operat ing systems, such as Windows NT*, require an a dditional interface for obtaining

the SMBIOS inform ation. The BIOS s upports an SM BIOS table interf ace for such operating s ystems. Using
this support, an SMBIO S service-level application running on a non-Plug and Play operating system can
obtain the SMBIOS information.

6.2 Legacy USB Support

Legacy USB support enabl es USB devices such as keyboards, m ice, and hubs to be used even when the
operating system’s U SB dri vers are not yet available. Legacy USB s u pport is us e d to ac ces s the BIOS Se tup
program, and to install an operating system that supports USB. By default, Legacy USB support is Enabled.

Legacy USB support operates as follows:

1. When you apply power to the computer, legacy support is disabled.

2. POST begins.

3. Legacy USB support is enabled by the BIOS allowing you to use a USB keyboard to enter and
configure the BIOS Setup program and the maintenance menu.

4. POST completes.

5. The oper ating system loads. While the operating s ystem is loading, USB keyboards and m ice are
recognized and may be used to configure the operating system. (Keyboards and mice are not
recognized during this period if Legacy USB support is Disabled in the BIOS Setup.)

6. After the operating system loads the USB drivers, all legacy and non-legacy USB devices are
recognized by the operating system, and Legacy USB support from the BIOS is no longer used.

To install an operating system that supports USB, verify that Legacy USB support in the BIOS Setup
program is set to Enabled and follow the operating system’s installation instructions.

6.3 BIOS Update

The BIOS can be updated using Kontron utility called bf.exe, which are availabl e on the Kontron Web s ite.
The utility supports DOS and Windows environment. Before updating the BIOS, AMT related restrictions
must be followed. Do not attempts to ignore below steps as it might result in corrupted BIOS.

Before updating the BIOS below steps must be followed:

• Make sure that AMT technolog y is disabled under the menu: Advanced, Intel AMT Configuratio n,
Intel AMT Support.

• Make sure not populate DIMM into SLOT 1 socket (DIMM socket closest to the CPU) The 3
remaining DIMM sockets can be freely used without restrictions.

Fatal error indicating a seri ous problem with the s ystem. Consult your s ystem manufacturer.

Before declaring the motherboard beyond “all hope”, eliminate the pos sibility of interference
due to a malfunctioning add-in card. Remove all expansion cards, except the video adapter.

• If beep codes are generated when all other expansion cards are absent, consult your
system manufacturer’s technical support.

• If beep codes are not generated wh en all oth er ex pa nsion c ards ar e absent, o n e of the add­in cards is causing the malfunction. Insert the cards back into the s ystem one at a time until

the problem happens again. This will reveal the malfunctioning card.
