Use of this Users Guide implies a basic knowledge of PC-AT hard- and software. This manual is focused on
describing the E38 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.

KTD-N0903-C Page 6 Installation Procedure
mITX-E38 Users Guide
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. Make sure to use +12V single supply only.
Alternatively use a standard ATX PSU with suitable cable kit and PS_ON# active.
!
2 Installation Procedure
Installing the Board 2.1
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)
2. Insert the DDR3L SODIMM module
For a list of approved DDR3 DIMMs contact your Distributor or FAE. See also chapter “System Memory
Support”.
3. Cooler Installation
Normally the cooler is premounted, but in case not, then make sure the heat paste etc. on the cooler is
intact and cover the full area of the SOC. Connect Cooler Fan electrically to the FAN_CPU connector.
4. Connecting Interfaces
Insert all external cables for hard disk, keyboard etc. A monitor must be connected in order to change
BIOS settings.
5. Connect and turn on PSU
Connect PSU to the board by the Int12V connector or the Ext12V connector. Please note that current
limitations apply, see relevant connector description.
6. 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.
7. 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.
Please note
that BIOS may boot in UEFI shell, if so then type exit to activate BIOS menu and select Set-up.
Note: To clear all BIOS settings, including Password protection, activate “Load Default BIOS Settings”
Jumper for ⋲10 sec (without power connected).

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.
8. Mounting the board in chassis
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.
Requirements IEC60950 2.2
Take care when designing chassis interface connectors in order to fulfil the IEC60950 standard.
Lithium battery precautions
CAUTION!
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly re- placed.

VAROITUS!
Paristo voi räjähtää, jos se on virheellisesti asennettu.
Vaihda paristo ainoastaan lalteval- mistajan
suosittelemaan tyyppiln. Hävitä käytetty paristo
valmistajan ohjeiden mukaisesti.
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.
• That the enclosure of the peripheral device fulfils the fire protecting requirements of IEC60950.

System Memory Support 3.4
The mITX-E38 has 1x DDR3L SODIMM 204 pin socket supporting single-channel
unbuffered DDR3L 1066/1333MHz (PC3L-8500/10600). pITX-E3815/E3826 supports
only DDR3-1066MHz. Up to 4GB (Intel specification) however Kontron has qualified 8GB.
(ECC not supported).
Note: If using 32bit OS then less than 4GB in displayed in System Properties
(Shared Video Memory/PCI resources is subtracted, Windows 32b report 2.88GB free)
Kontron offers the following memory modules for support of the temperature range 0⁰C to 60⁰C:
P/N 1055-9939: 2GB DDR3L 1600 PC3L-12800
P/N 1055-9941: 4GB DDR3L 1600 PC3L-12800
P/N 1055-9942: 8GB DDR3L 1600 PC3L-12800
Kontron offers the following memory modules having extended temperature range -40⁰C to 85⁰C, even
though mITX-E38 only supports 0⁰C to 60⁰C:
P/N 1055-9445: 1GB DDR3L 1600 PC3L-12800
P/N 1055-9446: 2GB DDR3L 1600 PC3L-12800
P/N 1055-9447: 4GB DDR3L 1600 PC3L-12800
P/N 1055-9448: 8GB DDR3L 1600 PC3L-12800
Note: Kontron has succesfully tested mITX-E38 in range -25⁰C to 75⁰C, but only 0⁰C to 60⁰C is guaranteed.
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.

Notes: 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
generates noise on the BKLTCTL signal, causing the LVDS transmission to fail (corrupted picture on
the display). By adding a 1Kohm 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.

Serial COM Ports (COM1-6, J19, J18, J37, J38, J10, J9) 7.9
Six RS232 serial ports are available via 10-pin-row connectors.
The typical definition of the signals in the COM ports is as follows:
Signal Description
TxD
Transmitted Data, sends data to the communications link. The signal is set to the marking state (12V) on hardware reset when the transmitter is empty or when loop mode operation is initiated.
RxD Received Data, receives data from the communications link.
DTR
Data Terminal Ready, indicates to the modem etc. that the on-
board UART is ready to establish a
communication link.
DSR Data Set Ready, indicates that the modem etc. is ready to establish a communications link.
RTS Request To Send, indicates to the modem etc. 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.
Note 1: The COM1/COM2 5V supply is fused with common 1.5A resettable fuse and similar for COM3/COM4
and COM5/COM6.
Available cable kit DB9 adapter cables are available for implementing standard COM ports on chassis.

The GPIO’s are controlled via the ITE IT8516F Embedded Controller. Each GPIO has 100pF to ground,
clamping Diode to 3V3 and has multiplexed functionality. Some pins can be DAC (Digital to Analogue
Converter output), PWM (Pulse Width Modulated signal output), ADC (Analogue to Digital Converter input),
TMRI (Timer Counter Input), WUI (Wake Up Input), RI (Ring Indicator Input) or some special function.

SPI Connector (SPI – J16) 7.14
The mITX-E38 provides one synchronous full duplex SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) Bus in a 10 pin header
connector. The connector is type Pinrex 512-90-10GBE5 or similar.
Two things should be considered:
1. An onboard SPI
TM
flash coexists on the same interface lines. You must disable this component with a
3.3V power connection to the ADDIN signal (e.g. a short circuit jumper between pin 2 and 4).
2. The four SPI
TM
lines are protected with an additional bus driver and the ISOLATE# signal controls the
output enable pin. For normal operation this signal should be high.
