2 1BIntroduction
Kontron User's Guide
coolMonster/PM 8
21BIntroduction
2.1 36BcoolMONSTER/PM
The coolMONSTER/PM hosts an Intel® Pentium® M processor in combination with an Intel® 855GME
chipset with an integrated graphic memory controller hub. Celeron M versions of this board are possible,
too. One DDR-SDRAM-DIMM socket for up to 1 GB allows you to use standard DDR DIMM memory
modules. Three USB 2.0 ports and one 10/100 MBit Ethernet interface extend the standard connectivity
of four serial, one parallel and a PS/2 mouse/keyboard interface.
The coolMONSTER/PM is designed in the PISA format, which provides the functionality of the PCI and ISA
bus on one well-defined bus. To connect a backplane with a PISA board, you only need to use one EISA-
like edge card connector. The pin-out of the upper row of the PISA bus connector corresponds to the pin-
out of the ISA bus connector. The lower row provides PCI signals, which makes it easy to design
backplanes with up to four PCI slots and additional ISA slots.
2.2 37BThe coolMONSTER PISA®Family
coolMONSTER products represent the best scaleable half-size Slot SBC family. Each coolMONSTER module
is characterized by the same mechanical and electrical pin-out for the Keyboard, COM A-D, EIDE 40pin
and 44pin, LPT, LAN, VGA, USB, and Floppy. These homogeneous features facilitate easiest upgrades
within the Kontron Embedded Modules GmbH coolMONSTER product family.
PISA® is the proven space saving concept that provides full PCI and ISA Bus signals on just half-size Slot
boards. The ancestors were full-sized PICMG boards that have the PCI and ISA card edges in a row - PISA
squeezed them to just half-size, still serving full PCI and ISA busses. Smaller and cheaper enclosures
were possible that way - while all PCI and ISA periphery is maintained.
Whenever a LCD panel is required, coolMONSTER products with onboard graphics controllers serve as the
right choice. Display connections are simplified when using these units, which come with a JUMPtec
Intelligent LVDS Interface (JILI) or JUMPtec Intelligent Display Adaption (JIPA). The interface can
recognize which display is connected and then independently set all video parameters.
As part of the standard features package, all coolMONSTER modules come with a JUMPtec Intelligent
Device Architecture (JIDA) interface, which is integrated into the BIOS of the SBC modules. This
interface enables hardware independent access to the coolMONSTER features that cannot be accessed via
standard APIs. Functions such as watchdog timer, brightness and contrast of LCD backlight and user
bytes in the EEPROM can be configured with ease by taking advantage of this standard coolMONSTER
module feature.

3 2BGetting started
Kontron User's Guide
coolMonster/PM 9
32BGetting started
Getting started with the coolMONSTER/PM is very easy. For location of the connectors, see Appendix E:
Connector Layout. Take the following steps:
®Turn off the power supply.
®Connect the power supply to the coolMONSTER’s power supply connector or power
the board through a backplane.
®Plug a memory module into the memory socket of the coolMONSTER/PM.
®Connect the CRT monitor to the CRT interface or a LCD panel to the JILI interface by
using a corresponding adapter cable.
®Plug the keyboard and the mouse to the PS/2 connectors or use USB keyboard or
mouse.
®Connect the floppy drive cable to the coolMONSTER’s floppy interface. Attach the
floppy drive to the connector at the opposite end of the cable.
®Connect the power supply to the floppy’s power connector.
®Plug a hard-drive data cable to the coolMONSTER’s hard-disk interface.
®Attach the hard disk to the connector at the opposite end of the cable.
®If necessary, connect the power supply to the hard disk’s power connector.
®If required, plug a ISA or PCI extension card to the appropriate slot in the backplane
®Make sure all your connections have been made correctly.
®Turn on power.
®Enter the BIOS by pressing the F2 key during boot-up. Make all changes in the BIOS
setup. See the BIOS chapter of this manual for details.

4.4 41BMTBF
The following MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) values were calculated using a combination of
manufacturer’s test data, if the data was available, and a Bellcore calculation for the remaining parts.
The Bellcore calculation used is “Method 1 Case 1”. In that particular method the components are
assumed to be operating at a 50 % stress level in a 40° C ambient environment and the system is
assumed to have not been burned in. Manufacturer’s data has been used wherever possible. The
manufacturer’s data, when used, is specified at 50° C, so in that sense the following results are slightly
conservative. The MTBF values shown below are for a 40° C in an office or telecommunications
environment. Higher temperatures and other environmental stresses (extreme altitude, vibration, salt
water exposure, etc.) lower MTBF values.
205BSystem MTBF (hours) : (171.636) TBD
Notes: Fans usually shipped with Kontron Embedded Modules GmbH products have 50,000-hour typical operating
life. The above estimates assume no fan, but a passive heat sinking arrangement.
Estimated RTC battery life (as opposed to battery failures) is not accounted for in the above figures and need
to be considered for separately. Battery life depends on both temperature and operating conditions. When
the Kontron unit has external power; the only battery drain is from leakage paths.

SDRAM) up to 1024MB following Intel’s DDR333/PC2700 Specification.
The supported devices on the DDR-SDRAM module must be 128-Mbit, 256-Mbit or 512-Mbit technologies
chips. All modules validated by Intel with the 845 chipset and minimum DDR266 speed are electrical
ready with the 855 chipset (A similar memory interface is used on the two chipsets.)
Notes: Some older modules and modules out of specification are designed for 2.7V (power level). These modules
may not work well at the coolMONSTER/PM.
The total amount of memory available on the DDR-SDRAM modules is used for main memory and graphics
memory on the coolMONSTER/PM. Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) manages the sharing of the
system memory between the graphics controller and processor. Full system memory size is not available
for software applications. Up to 32MB of system memory are used for graphics memory.
Memory modules with ECC are not supported.

76BPISA Bus
PISA® is the proven space saving concept that provides full PCI and ISA Bus signals on just half-size Slot
boards. The edge card connector provides the ISA signals on the upper row and the PCI signals on the
lower row and uses the same connector known from EISA systems.
A detailed description of the signals and its timing characteristics is beyond the scope of this document.
Refer to the PISA specification PISAD??? (the three questionmarks holding the revision number)
available on the Kontron web sites and the official ISA- and PCI-specifications for further details.
