Use of this Users Guide implies a basic knowledge of PC-AT hard- and software. This manual is focused on
describing the KTGM45 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
CMOS setup menus. Only exception is the Clear CMOS jumper (J13).

!
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 dama
g
ed com
p
onent can result in malfunction or no function at all.
1 Installation procedure
1.1 Installing the board
To get the board running, follow these steps. In some cases the board shipped from KONTRON has already
components like DRAM, CPU and cooler mounted. In this case relevant steps below, can be skipped.
1. Turn off the PSU (Power Supply Unit)
2. Insert the DDR3 DIMM 240pin DRAM module(s)
Be careful to push it in the slot(s) before locking the tabs. For a list of approved DDR3 DIMM modules
contact your Distributor or FAE. DDR3-800/1066 DIMM 240pin (PC3-6400/PC3-8500) are supported.
3. Install the processor
The CPU is keyed and will only mount in the CPU socket in one way. Use the handle to open/ close the
CPU socket. Penryn and Meron CPU’s via mPGA479 ZIF Socket are supported, 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 CRT monitor must be connected in order to
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. Alternatively use only
the 4-pin ATX+12V connector if single voltage operation (+12V +/-5%) is requested. Notice that single
voltage operation has limited power support for add-on cards etc. Turn on power.
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.
9. Mounting the board to chassis
When fixing the Motherboard on a chassis it is recommended 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.
Warning: Do not use ATX/BTX PSU without 3.3V monitoring watchdog, which is
standard feature in ATX/BTX PSU.
Running the board without 3.3V connected will damage the board after a few minutes.
Installation procedure
Note: To clear all CMOS settings, including Password protection, move the Clear CMOS jumper in the
Clear CMOS position (with or without power) for ~10 sec. This will Load Failsafe Defaults and make sure
Secure CMOS is disabled.

2.4 System Memory support
The KTGM45 board has two DDR3 DIMM sockets and support the following memory features:
DDR3-800/1066 DIMM 240pin DRAM modules (PC3-6400/PC3-8500)
•1.5V (only) 240-pin DDR3 SDRAM DIMMs with gold-plated contacts
•DDR3-800 (PC3-6400)
•DDR3-1066 (PC3-8500)
•DDR3-800/1066 DIMM with SPD timings supported
•Unbuffered, single-sided x8/x16 or double-sided x8/x16 DIMMs
•4 GB maximum total system memory using 64-bit OS. (Shared Video Memory is withdrawn).
•4 GB maximum total system memory using 32-bit OS. ~3GB is displayed in System Properties.
(Shared Video Memory is withdrawn).
•Minimum total system memory: 512 MB
•Non-ECC DIMMs
•Serial Presence Detect
The installed DDR3 SDRAM 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.
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 800 memory is used with an 800 MHz system bus frequency
processor, the memory clock will operate at 400 MHz. The table below lists the resulting operating memory
frequencies based on the combination of DIMMs and processors.

Memory Configurations
The KTGM45 boards support the following three types of memory organization:
1. Dual channel (Interleaved) mode. This mode offers the highest throughput. Dual channel mode is enabled
when the installed memory capacities of both DIMM channels are equal. Technology and device width can
vary from one channel to the other but the installed memory capacity for each channel must be equal. If
different speed DIMMs are used between channels, the slowest memory timing will be used.
2. Single channel (Asymmetric) mode. This mode is equivalent to single channel bandwidth operation. This
mode is used when only a single DIMM is installed or the memory capacities of channel A is bigger than of
channel B. Technology and device width can vary from one channel to the other. If different speed DIMMs
are used between channels, the slowest memory timing will be used.
3. Flex mode. This mode provides the most flexible performance characteristics and is used if both channels
are populated and at the same time the memory capacities of channel A is smaller than of channel B.
Channel B will be divided into two parts. One part of channel B is used together with channel A and mapped
to dual channel operation. The second part of channel B is mapped to single channel operation.

2.5.2 DVMT 5.0 support
DVMT (Dynamic Video Memory Technology) enables enhanced graphics and memory performance through
highly efficient memory utilization. DVMT ensures the most efficient use of available system memory for
maximum 2-D/3-D graphics performance. More than 512 MB of system memory can be allocated to DVMT
on systems that have 1GB or more of total system memory installed. DVMT returns system memory back to
the operating system when the additional system memory is no longer required by the graphics subsystem.
DVMT will always use a minimal fixed portion of system physical memory (as set in the BIOS Setup) for
compatibility with legacy applications. An example of this would be when using VGA graphics under DOS.
Once loaded, the operating system and graphics drivers allocate additional system memory to the graphics
buffer as needed for performing graphics functions.
Note: The use of DVMT requires driver support by the operating system.
