Secure CMOS is disabled.

1 Installation procedure

1.1 Installing the board

To get the board running, follow these steps. If the board shipped from KONTRON has already
components like DRAM, CPU and cooler mounted, then relevant steps below, can be skipped.

1. Turn off the PSU (Power Supply Unit)

2. Insert the DRAM(s) (UDIMM 240pin)

Be careful to push it in the slot(s) b efore locking th e tabs. For a list of approved DRAM contact your
Distributor or FAE. See also chapter “System Memory Support”.

3. Install the processor

The CPU is ke yed and will onl y mount in t he CPU sock et in one way. Use finger to open/ close t he
CPU socket. Refer to supported processor overview for details.

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 m onitor must be connected i n order to be
able change CMOS settings.

6. Connect and turn on PSU

Connect PSU to the board by the ATX/BTXPWR and the 4-pin ATX+12V connectors.

7. 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.

8. 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 .

Clear CMOS position (with or without power) for ~10 sec. This will Load Failsafe Defaults and make sure

9. Mounting the board to chassis

When fixing the Motherb oard on a chassis it is recomm ended using screws with integrated washer and
having diameter of ~7mm.

Note: Do not use washers with teeth, as they can damage the PCB and may cause short circuits.

2.4 System Memor y support

The KTQ77/FLEX has four DDR3 UDIMM sockets. The sockets support the following memory features:

• 4x DDR3 1.5V UDIMM 240-pin

• Dual-channel with 2 UDIMM per channel

• Single/dual rank unbuffered 1333/1600MT/s (PC3-10600/PC3-12800)

The supported 2

From 1GB and up to 4x 8G B.
Note: Less than 4GB displayed in System Properties using 32bit OS
(Shared Video Memory/PCI resources is subtracted)

• SPD timings supported

• ECC not supported

The installed DDR3 DIMM should sup port Ser ial Presenc e Detect ( SPD) da ta str ucture. This allows t he
BIOS to 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 m emor y is used with a 1333 MHz s ys te m
bus frequency processor, the m emory clock will op erate at 666 MHz. The table below list s the resulting
operating memory frequencies based on the combination of DIMMs and processors.

6.1 Power Connector (ATX/BTXPWR)

The KTQ77 boar ds are designed to be supplied f rom a standard ATX (or BT X) power supply. Use of
BTX supply is not required for operation, but may be required to drive high-power PCIe cards.

ATX/ BTX Power Connector (J45):

Note 1: -5V supply is not used on-board.
See chapter “Power Consumption” regard ing input tolerances o n 3.3V, 5V, SB5V, +1 2 and -12V (also

refer to ATX specification version 2.2).
ATX+12V-4pin Power Connector (J46):

Note 1: Use of the 4-pin ATX+12V Power Connector is required for operation of all KTQ77 board
versions.

Signal Description

P_OK

PS_ON# Active low open drain signal from the board to the power supply to turn on the power supply

that the +5VDC and +3.3VDC outputs are above the undervoltage 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 undervoltage threshold, or when mains power has been
removed for a time sufficiently long so that power supply operation is no longer guaranteed,
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
SupplyDesign Guide.

It is strongly recommended to use an ATX or BTX supply in order to implement the
supervision of the 5V and 3V3 supplies. These supplies are not supervised on-board.

Notes: Windows API will be availab le to operate the BKLTCTL signal. Some Inver ters have a limited

voltage range 0- 2.5V for this signal: If voltage is > 2.5V the Inverter might latch up. Some
Inverters generates n oise on the BKLTCTL signal, res ulting in making the LVDS transm ission
failing (corrupted pic ture on the dis play). By adding a 1Kohm resistor in ser ies with this signal,
mounted in 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 Inver s ion = Enable d.

6.11 ”Load Default BIOS Settings” Jumpe r (J11)

The “Load Default BIOS Settings” Jumper (J11) can be used to recover from incorrect BIOS settings. As
an example, incorrect BIOS settings coursing no display to turn on can be erased by the Jumper.

The Jumper has 3 positions: Pin 1-2, Pin2-3 (default position) and not mounted.

To Load Default BIOS Settings:

1. Turn off power completely (no SB5V).

2. Move the Jumper to pin 1-2 for ~10 seconds.

3. Move the Jumper back to position 2-3 (default position).

4. Turn on power (use the Power On Button if required to boot).

5. Motherboard might automatically reboot a few times. Wait until booting is completed.

Description

The ClrRTC (J12) connector is not used. Do not install any jumper in case J12 pin row is available.

6.13 SPI Recover Jumper (J41)

The SPI Recover Jumper is used to select BIOS Rec overy SPI Flash instea d of the BIOS Default SPI
Flash.

Normally Jumper is not installed and board boots on the BIOS Default SPI Flash.
Only in case the Default BIOS gets corrupted and board do not boot:

Then turn off power
Install Jumper (J41)
Try rebooting

After rebooting, rem ove the Jumper before D efault BIOS is recov ered by reloading BIOS ( for instance
by using latest BIOS upgrade package from web product page).

Verify that Default BIOS has been recovered by making a successful reboot.

Recovery SPI Flash will be Upgraded and not the BIOS Default SPI Flash.
This means that in case something goes wrong (power interruption or incorrect BIOS package
used etc.) when Upgrading BIOS, then the BIOS Recovery SPI Flash might get corrupted.

SYSTEM PINS

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.

Power Management Event interrupt signal. Wake up signal.

Reset is used to bring PCI-specific registers, sequencers, and signals to a consistent state. What
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
(they cannot be driven low or high during reset). To prevent AD, C/BE#, and PAR signals from

floating during reset, the central resource may drive these lines during reset (bus parking) but only to
RST# may be asynchronous to CLK when asserted or deasserted. Although asynchronous,

free edge. Except for configuration accesses, only

devices that are required to boot the system will respond after reset.

ADDRESS AND DATA

Address and Data are multiplexed on the same PCI pins. A bus transaction consists of an address

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

ain 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.

Bus Command and Byte Enables are multi plexed 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

e 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).

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 after either IRDY# is asserted on a write transaction or TRDY# is asserted on a

t remains valid until one c lock 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

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

deasserted, the transaction is in the final data phase or has

completed.

Initiator Ready indicates the initiating agent’s (bus master’s) ability to complete the current data
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. W ait
cycles are insert ed until bo th IRDY# and TRDY# are asserted together.

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

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 indicates the current target is requesting the master to stop the c urrent transaction.

Lock indicates an atomic operation that may require multiple transactions to complete. W hen LOCK#

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

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
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.

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

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.

ERROR REPORTING PINS.

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

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

state and must be driven active by the agent receiving data

Notes:
Intel HT Technology (Hyper Threading Technology) is a performance feature which allows one core on

the processor to appear like 2 cores to the operating system. This doubles the execution resources
available to the O/S, which potentially increases the performance of your overall system.

Intel VT-x Technology (Virtualization Technology) Previously codenamed "Vanderpool", VT-x represents
Intel's technology for virtualization on the x86 platform. In order to support “Virtualization Technology”
the CPU must support VT-x and the BIOS setting “Intel Virtualization Technology” must be enabled.

Intel SMX Technology (Safer Mode Extensions Technology) is a part of the Trusted Execution
Technology.

Automatic Acoustic
Management

Note:
Automatic acoustic m anag ement (AAM) is a method for reduc in g acous tic emanations in AT Attachm ent

(ATA) mass storage dev ices, such as ATA hard disk drives and ATAPI optical disc drives . AAM is an
optional feature set f or ATA/ATAPI devices; when a device sup ports AAM, the acoustic managem ent
parameters are adjustable through a software or firmware user interface.

The ATA/ATAPI sub-command for setting the level of AAM operati on is an 8-bit value from 0 to 255.
Most modern drives ship with the vendor-defined value of 0x00 in the acoustic managem ent setting.
This often translates to the max -performance value of 254 stated in the standard . Values between 1 28
and 254 (0x80 - 0xFE) ena ble th e f eatur e an d s elect most-quiet to most-per f ormance s etti ngs al ong th at
range. Though hard drive manufacturers may support the whole range of values, the settings are
allowed to be banded so many values could provide the same acoustic performance.
