2/ Installation procedure

2.1. Installing the Board

ESD Sensitive Device! Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry.
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.
• Wear ESD-protective clothing and shoes
• Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap attached to a good earth ground
• Check the resistance value of the wrist strap periodically (OK: 1 MΩ to 10 MΩ)
• Transport and store the board in its antistatic bag
• Handle the board at an approved ESD workstation
• Handle the board only by the edges
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. Make sure to use +12V single supply only. Alternatively use a standard ATX PSU with suitable cable kit and PS_ON# active.
2.
Be careful to push it in the slot(s) before locking the tabs. For a list of approved DDR3L SO-DIMMs contact your Distributor or FAE. See also chapter “System Memory Support”. Use SO-DIMM with the same memory density in both sockets!
3.
The mITX-H comes with a passive heatsink pre-installed and a separate fan, which can be mounted onto the heatsink, should the system require additional airflow. Connect Cooler Fan electrically to the FANCPU connector.
4.

3.3. Processor Support Table

mITX-BW is designed to support the Braswell Celeron processors. The BGA CPU is premounted from factory. Kontron has defined the board versions as listed in the following table, so far all based on Embedded CPUs. Other versions are expected at a later date.
Table 3: Processor Support
mITX-BW Variants CPU TDP / Tj Name Sales PN Speed Embedded Cache
mITX-BW N3710 810620-4500 1.6 GHz 4 core Yes 2 MByte

3.4. System Memory Support

The mITX-BW has two DDR3L SO-DIMM sockets. The sockets support the following memory features:
2x DDR3L 1.35 V SO-DIMM 204-pin
Dual-channel with 1 SO-DIMM per channel
From 1 GByte and up to 2x 4 GByte.
Single/dual rank unbuffered 1333/1600MT/s (PC3-10600/PC3-12800)
SPD timings supported
ECC not supported
If only one SO-DIMM is used, then slot J24 must be used as the primary slot (ChannelA).
If Slot J25 (Channel B) is populated, then the board will not boot.
If using 32bit OS then less than 4GB in displayed in System (Shared Video Memory/PCI resources is subtracted). Use SO-DIMM with the same memory density in both sockets!
The installed DDR3L SO-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.
Regardless of the SO-DIMM type used, the memory frequency will either be equal to or less than the processor system bus frequency. For example, if DDR3L 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 SO-DIMMs and processor.
Table 4: Memory Operating Frequencies
Transfers (MT/s)
Bus Frequency (MHz)
Clock Frequency (MHz)
Rate (MB/s)
Kontron offers the following memory modules:
2 GByte DDR3L 1600 PC3-12800, P/N: 1060-2520 4 GByte DDR3L 1600 PC3-12800, P/N: 1060-2522 8 GByte DDR3L
1600 PC3-12800, P/N: 1060-2524
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 60° C for a minimum of 24 hours.

3.6. Power Consumption

In order to ensure safe operation of the board, the input power supply must monitor the supply voltage and shut down if the supply is out of range – refer to 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 mITX-BW board must be powered through either the ATX+12V-4p (4-pole) connector using standard ATX power supply or by an external 12 to 24V power adapter through the Rear I/O power jack.
: Both ATX+12V-4p connector must be used in according to the ATX12V PSU standard.
Hot Plugging power supply is not supported. Hot plugging might damage the board.
The requirements to the supply voltages are as follows:

7/ Internal Connectors

7.1. Power Connectors

Either the DC Power Jack Connector “EXT12 V” or the “Int12 V.” connector must be used to supply the board with +12 (-10%) to +24 VDC (+10%).
Hot plugging any of the power connectors (J40 and J56) is not allowed. Hot plugging might damage the board. In other words, turn off main supply etc. to make sure
all the power lines (+12 V to +24 V) are turned off when connecting to the motherboard.

The board can be supplied via the AC/DC adapter plugged into the power jack. Such adapters have usually no connection to protective earth. Consequently, the potential of the conductive parts on the board may drift. If a human touches such a part, this may lead to an electric shock. The board must be grounded separately, if the unit is supplied via power jack.

7.2. Fan Connectors (J47 & J48)

The FANSYS (J48) can be used to power, control and monitor a fan for chassis ventilation etc.
The FANCPU (J47) is used for the connection of the FAN for the CPU.
The 4-pin header is recommended to be used for driving 4-wire type Fan in order to implement FAN speed control. 3-wire Fan support is also possible, but no fan speed control is integrated.

7.3. PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse Connector (KBDMSE) (J15)

Attachment of a PS/2 keyboard/mouse can be done through the pinrow connector KBDMSE (J15).
Both interfaces utilize open-drain signalling with on-board pull-up.
The PS/2 mouse and keyboard is supplied from SB5 V 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 1.1 A resettable fuse.
The PS/2 connector does not support wake functions.

7.4. SATA (Serial ATA) Disk Interfaces (J39 & J8)

The mITX-BW has an integrated SATA Host controller (PCH in the BW chipset) that supports independent DMA operation on two ports. One device can be installed on each port for a maximum of two SATA devices via two SATA connectors and one mSATA/mPCIe connector. A point-to-point interface (SATA cable) is used for host to device connections. Data transfer rates of up to 6.0/3.0/1.5Gb/s are supported on all SATA ports.
Before installing OS on a SATA drive make sure the drive is not a former member of a RAID system. If so, some hidden data on the disk has to be erased. To do this, connect two SATA drives and select RAID in BIOS. Save settings and select <Ctrl> <I> while booting to enter the RAID setup menu. Now the hidden RAID data will be erased from the selected SATA drive..
2 to 4-drive RAID 0 (data striping) 2-drive RAID 1 (data mirroring) AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) NCQ (Native Command Queuing). NCQ is for faster data access. Swap bay support (not supported on mSATA/mPCIe) Intel® Rapid Recover Technology 2 – 256 TByte volume (Data volumes only) Capacity expansion TRIM in Windows 7 (in AHCI and RAID mode for drives not part of a RAID volume).

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 generate noise on the BKLTCTL signal, causing the LVDS transmission to fail (corrupted picture on the display).
By adding a 1 kΩ 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.

9.1. Starting the uEFI BIOS

The mITX-BW is provided with a Kontron-customized, pre-installed and configured version of AptioV uEFI BIOS. AMI BIOS firmware based on the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (uEFI) specification and the Intel® Platform Innovation Framework for EFI. This uEFI BIOS provides a variety of new and enhanced functions specifically tailored to the hardware features of the mITX-BW.
The uEFI BIOS comes with a Setup program which provides quick and easy access to the individual function settings for control or modification of the uEFI BIOS configuration. The Setup program allows the accessing of various menus which provide functions or access to sub-menus with more specific functions of their own.
To start the uEFI BIOS Setup program, follow the steps below:
1. Power on the board.
2. Wait until the first characters appear on the screen (POST messages or splash screen).
3. Press the <DEL> key.
4. If the uEFI BIOS is password-protected, a request for password will appear. Enter either the User Password or the
Supervisor Password (see Security menu), press <RETURN>, and proceed with step 5.
5. A Setup menu will appear.
The mITX-BW uEFI BIOS Setup program uses a hot key-based navigation system. A hot key legend bar is located on the bottom of the Setup screens.
The following table provides information concerning the usage of these hot keys.
Table 50: Navigation
<F1> The <F1> key is used to invoke the General Help window.
<-> The<Minus> key is used to select the next lower value within a field.
<+> The <Plus> key is used to select the next higher value within a field.
<F2> The <F2> key is used to load previous values.
<F3> The <F3> key is used to load optimized defaults.
<F4> The <F3> key is used to Save and Exit.
<ESC> The <ESC> key is used to exit a major Setup menu and enter the Exit Setup menu.
<RETURN> The <RETURN> key is used to execute a command or select a submenu.

For a detailed description of the available standard shell scripting refer to the EFI Shell User’s Guide. For a detailed description of the available standard shell commands, refer to the EFI Shell Command Manual. Both documents can be downloaded from the EFI and Framework Open Source Community homepage (http:/ /sourceforge.net/projects/efi-shell/files/documents/).

9.3.1. Introduction, Basic Operation

The uEFI Shell forms an entry into the uEFI boot order and is the first boot option by default.

9.3.1.1. Entering the uEFI Shell

To enter the uEFI Shell, follow the steps below:
1. Power on the board.
2. Ignore the message: “Press the <DEL> or <ESC> to enter setup”.
3. Press the ESC key within 5 seconds after a message such as the one below appears:
EFI Shell version 2.40 [5.11] Current running mode 1.1.2 Device mapping table blk0 : Removable HardDisk - Alias hd33b0b0b fs0
Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1D|7)/Usb(1, 0)/Usb(1, 0)/HD(Part1,Sig17731773) ... Press the ESC key within 5 seconds to skip startup.nsh, and any other key to continue. The output produced by the device mapping table can vary depending on the board’s configuration. If the ESC key is pressed before the 5-second timeout has elapsed, the shell prompt is shown: Shell>

9.4.1. Startup Scripting

If the ESC key is not pressed and the timeout is run out, the uEFI Shell tries to execute some startup scripts automatically. It searches for scripts and executes them in the following order:
1. Kontron flash-stored startup script
2. If there is no Kontron flash-stored startup script present, the uEFI-specified
This script must be located on the root of any of the attached FAT formatted disk drive.
3. If none of the startup scripts is present or the startup script terminates, the default boot order is continued.
script is used.

9.4.2. Create a Startup Script

Startup scripts can be created using the uEFI Shell built-in editor choice.
To create a startup shell script, simply save the script on the root of any FAT-formatted drive attached to the system.
