Warning: Turn off PSU (Power Supply Unit) completely (no mains power connected to the
Running the board without 3.3V connected will damage the board after a few minutes.
!
IMPORTANT: For return goods (RMA): warranty is void if returned without Protective cover.
Do NOT touch socket contacts
NOTE: Regardless of the Memory
(J1) must always be populated.
1 Installation procedure
1.1 Installing the board
To get the board running, follow these steps. In some cases the board shipped 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 in the slot(s) before locking the tabs. For a list of approved DDR3 DIMM 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 only mount in the CPU socket in one way. Use the handle to open/ close the
CPU socket. The Intel® Core™2 Quad, Intel® Core™2 Duo in the LGA775 package are supported, refer
to supported processor overview for details.
Opening the socket:
Apply pressure to the corner with right hand thumb while opening/closing the load lever, otherwise lever can
bounce back like a “mouse trap” and WILL cause bent contacts (when loaded)
Remove Socket Protective Cover
With left hand index finger and thumb to support the load plate edge, engage protective cover finger tab with
right hand thumb and peel the cover from LGA775 Socket while pressing on center of protective cover to
assist in removal.
Set protective cover aside. Always put cover back on if the processor is removed from the socket.
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.
configuration used, DDR3 SLOT 1
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 approximately 100°

Warning: When mounting the board to chassis etc. please notice that the board contains
without reasonable care. A damaged component can result in malfunction or no function at all.
Note: To clear all CMOS settings, including Password protection, move the Clr-CMOS jumper
correctly when reinserted.
Visually inspect protective cover for damage
If damage observed, replace the cover.
Note: After cover removal, make sure socket load plate and contacts are free of foreign material. Debris may
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 package into the socket body using a purely vertical motion. (Tilting the processor 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 bootable SATA disk, then connect to SATA0 or SATA2 or select in
BIOS “ATA/IDE Configuration” = Enhanced.
6. Connect Power supply
Connect power supply to the board by the ATX/ BTXPWR and 4-pin ATX connectors. For board to operate
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) and pin 18 (GND) on the FRONTPNL connector (see Connector description). A “normally
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 setup.
(with/without power) for ~1 minute. This will also disable any Secure CMOS setup on the board.
Alternatively, turn off power and remove the battery for 1 minute, but be careful to orientate the battery
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.

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 SDRAM DIMMs with gold-plated contacts
• 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 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 800 memory is used with an 800 MHz system bus frequency
processor, the memory clock will operate at 400 MHz. The table below lists the resulting operating memory
frequencies based on the combination of DIMMs and processors.
name
Notes: Kontron offers the following memory modules:
• 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 (Interleaved) mode. This mode offers the highest throughput. Dual channel mode is enabled
when the installed memory capacities of both DIMM channels are equal. Technology and device width can
vary from one channel to the other but the installed memory capacity for each channel must be equal. If
different speed DIMMs are used between channels, the slowest memory timing will be used.
2. Single channel (Asymmetric) mode. This mode is equivalent to single channel bandwidth operation. This
mode is used when only a single DIMM is installed or the memory capacities of channel A is bigger than of
channel B. Technology and device width can vary from one channel to the other. If different speed DIMMs
are used between channels, the slowest memory timing will be used.
3. Flex mode. This mode provides the most flexible performance characteristics and is used if both channels
are populated and at the same time the memory capacities of channel A is smaller than of channel B.

Channel B will be divided into two parts. One part of channel B is used together with channel A and mapped
to dual channel operation. The second part of channel B is mapped to single channel operation.
Note:
Regardless of the memory 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.
Channel A, DDR3 DIMMB1 (SLOT 2)

In these examples the combined capacity of the two DIMMs in Channel A equals the combined capacity of
the two DIMMs in Channel B.
In these examples the combined capacity of the two DIMMs in Channel A does not equal the capacity of the
DIMMs in Channel B.
The 1 GB DIMM in the Channel A, DIMM 0 socket and the lower 1 GB of the DIMM in the Channel B, DIMM
0 socket operate together in dual channel mode. The remaining (upper) 1 GB of the DIMM in Channel B
operates in single channel mode.

2.5 KTQ45 Graphics Subsystem
The KTQ45 boards use the Intel Q45 chipset for the graphical control. This chipset contains two separate,
mutually exclusive graphics options. Either the GMA 4500 graphics controller (contained within the AC82Q45
GMCH) is used, or a PCI Express x16 add-in card can be used. When a PCI Expressx16 add-in card is
installed, the GMA 4500 graphics controller is disabled.
2.5.1 Intel® GMA 4500
Features of the Intel GMA (Graphic Media Accelerator) 4500 graphics controller includes:
•High quality graphics engine supporting
o DX10* and OpenGL* 2.0 compliant
o Core frequency of 400 MHz
o 1.6 GP/s pixel rate
o High-Quality 3D Setup and Render Engine
o High-Quality Texture Engine
o 3D Graphics Rendering Enhancements

•Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT 5.0) support up to 352 MB
Graphics card. Such combination does not comply with PCI Express 2.0 standard with the risk
KTD-00782-I KTQ45 family Page 21 of 92
2.5.2 DVMT 5.0 support
DVMT (Dynamic Video Memory Technology driven by OS driver) enables enhanced graphics and memory
performance through highly efficient memory utilization. DVMT ensures 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 systems that have 512 MB or more of total system memory installed. DVMT returns
system memory back to the operating system when the additional system memory is no longer required by
the graphics subsystem.
DVMT will always use a minimal fixed portion of system physical memory (as set in the BIOS Setup) for
compatibility with legacy applications. An example of this would be when using VGA graphics under DOS.
Once loaded, the operating system and graphics drivers allocate additional system memory to the graphics
buffer as needed for performing graphics functions.
2.5.3 ADD2 card support
The KTQ45 board routes two multiplexed SDVO ports that are each capable of driving up to a 200 MHz
pixel clock to the PCI Express x16 connector. The SDVO ports can be paired for a dual channel
configuration to support up to a 400 MHz pixel clock. When an ADD2 (Advanced Digital Display) card is
detected, the Intel GMA 4500 graphics controller is enabled and the PCI Express x16 connector is
configured for SDVO mode. SDVO mode enables the SDVO ports to be accessed by the ADD2 card. An
ADD2 card can either be configured to support simultaneous display with the primary VGA display or can be
configured to support dual independent display as an extended desktop configuration with different colour
depths and resolutions.
ADD2 cards can be designed to support the following configurations:
• TV-Out (composite video)
• TMDS for DVI 1.0
• LVDS
• Single device operating in dual channel mode
• VGA output
• HDTV output
• HDMI support (when used with the HD Audio Link)
Currently available Kontron ADD2 cards
• P/N 820953, ADD2-LVDS
• P/N 820950, ADD2-Dual LVDS
• P/N 820951, ADD2-Dual Internal DVI
• P/N 820952, ADD2-Dual DVI
• P/N 820954, ADD2-CRT
Please visit the Kontron website (www.kontron.com ) for details.
2.5.4 PCIe Passive Graphic card support
The KTQ45 board routes two TMDS ports that are each capable of driving up to a 200 MHz pixel clock to the
PCI Express x16 connector. When a TMDS card is detected, the Intel GMA 4500 graphics controller is
enabled and the PCI Express x16 connector is configured for TMDS mode. A TMDS card can either be
configured to support simultaneous display with the primary VGA display or can be configured to support
dual independent display as an extended desktop configuration with different colour depths and resolutions.
PCIe Passive Graphic cards can be designed to support the following configurations:
• TMDS for DVI 1.0
• Display Port
