Introduction 4coolMONSTER/PM User’s Guide
2. Introduction
2.1 coolMONSTER/PM
ThecoolMONSTER/PM hosts an Intel® Pentium® Mprocessor in
combination withan Intel® 855GME chipset with an integrated
graphic memory controller hub. Celeron Mversionsof this board
are possible, too. OneDDR-SDRAM-DIMM socket for up to 1GB
allows you to use standard DDR DIMM memory modules. ThreeUSB
2.0 ports andone10/100 MBit Ethernet interface extend the
standard connectivity offourserial, one parallel and aPS/2
mouse/keyboard interface.
ThecoolMONSTER/PM is designedin the PISAformat, which
provides the functionality of thePCI and ISA bus on one well-
defined bus. To connect abackplane with aPISA board, you only
need to useone EISA-like edge card connector. The pin-out of
the upper row of the PISA bus connectorcorresponds 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 ThecoolMONSTER PISA®Family
coolMONSTER products represent the best scaleablehalf-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 inarow -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.

coolMONSTER/PM User’s Guide5Specifications
Whenever aLCD 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 aJUMPtec 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 aJUMPtec 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 advantageof this standard coolMONSTER
module feature.

4.4 MTBF
The following MTBF (Mean TimeBetween Failure) values were
calculated usingacombination of manufacturer’stest data, if
the data was available, and aBellcore calculation for the
remaining parts. The Bellcore calculation used is “Method 1Case
1”. In that particular method the components are assumed to be
operating at a50 %stress level in a40° Cambient 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 a40° Cin an office or
telecommunications environment. Higher temperatures and other
environmental stresses (extreme altitude, vibration, salt water
exposure, etc.) lower MTBF values.
†System MTBF (hours): (171.636) TBD
Notes: Fans usuallyshipped withKontron 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 batterylife (as opposed to batteryfailures) is not accounted forin
the above figures and need to be considered for separately.Batterylife depends
on bothtemperature and operating conditions.When the Kontron unit has
external power;the onlybatterydrain is from leakage paths.

ThecoolMONSTER/PMsupports 184-pin DIMM DDR-SDRAM memory
modules. Twosocketsare available for 2.5V (power level),
unbuffered double data rate synchronous dynamic random access
memory (DDR-SDRAM) up to 1024MB following Intel’s DDR266/PC2100
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 for2.7V
(power level). These modules maynot work well atthe coolMONSTER/PM.
The total amount of memory available on the DDR-SDRAM modulesis
used for main memory and graphicsmemory on thecoolMONSTER/PM.
Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) manages thesharing of the
system memory between the graphics controller and processor.
Full system memory size is not available for software

12.4 FlatPanel LVDS Interface (JILI)
Connector
The interface for the LCD Panel is available through the X10
connector (40 pins) on the bottom side of the board. This
connector represents the JILI interface(JUMPtec Intelligent
LVDS Interface). The implementation of this subsystem complies
with the JILI Specification of Kontron Embedded Modules GmbH.
ThecoolMONSTER/PM already supports the JILI3 implementation. A
variety of cables for different display types are available from
Kontron. Please refer to the cable list on the Kontron Web site
for part numbers and cable names. Adetailed description of the
JILI interface standard also is available in aseparate document
JILIM???.PDF. The three question marks represent the document’s
revision number. You can download the document from the Kontron
Web site, or contact your local Kontron technical support to
receiveit.
To find the location of the LCD Panel interface connector,
please see the Appendix E: Connector Layout chapter.
12.5 DisplayPowerConsiderations
When using aLCD Panel, additional voltages may be required to
drive the display’s logic and tosupply the backlight converter
and the display’s contrast voltage.
The display logicmay require +5Vfor standard or+3.3V for low-
power LCDs. Contrast voltages for passive displays are normally
very different and can range from–30V to +30V.Backlight
converters usually are +5V or +12V types. When using aKontron
JILI cable, you do not need todetermine such configurations.
Display logic voltage and contrast voltage come pre-configured
on the JILI cable. On occasion, backlight voltage has to be
adjusted on the cable.
Even though thecoolMONSTER/PM is also available as a+5V-only
board, you need to supply the +12V for the backlightconverter
additionally when using such a converter type.
The onboard 3.3V-circuitry of the coolMONSTER/PMand the+3.3V
logic voltage of low-voltage panels are powered by separate
voltage regulators. The one for the LCD is mounted on the JILI
adapter cable.

12.6 Connecting aLCDPanel
To determine whether your panel display is supported, check the
Kontron Web site for panel lists. We regularly update the list
of panels that have been tested with our boards.
Many panel adapters forawide spread variety of displays are
available through Kontron. If you use one of those adapters
supplied by Kontron, configuration is easy:
1. Check whetheryouhave thecorrectadapter and cableforthe

2. Disconnect the power from yoursystem.
3. Connect thepaneladapter totheLCDPanel connector (JILI)
onthecoolMONSTER/PM.
4. Connect theotherendofthecableto your display.
5. Connectthebacklightconverter.
6. Supplypower toyour system.
7. Ifno imageappearsonyour display,connect a CRT monitorto
the CRTconnector.
8. Ifnecessary program theEEPROM onthe JILIcablewiththe

You can set the general configuration for the graphic controller
in the BIOS setup utility. Refer to the Advanced Chipset Control
