2 Introduction
Kontron User's Guide EPIC/CE 11
2Introduction
2.1 EPIC/CE
The EPIC/CE hosts either an ULV Intel® Celeron® processor or an LV Intel® Celeron® processor in
combination with an Intel®815E chipset that includes an integrated graphics memory-controller hub. A
SDRAM-SODIMM socket can hold either PC100 or PC133 SODIMM memory modules up to 500MB. Six USB
2.0 ports and two 10/100 MBit Ethernet interfaces extend the standard connectivity of four serial ports,
one parallel port, and a PS/2 mouse/keyboard interface.
The EPIC/CE is designed in the EPIC (Embedded Platform for Industrial Computing) form factor, which is
an international standard of the PC/104 Consortium and can be extended with standard PC/104 and
PC/104-Plus extension modules. This provides a flexible, space-saving and cost-optimized industrial
computer solution.
2.2 The EPIC Family
Each EPIC is a member of the EPIC family of Kontron Embedded Modules GmbH.
Each EPIC module has the same front connectivity for Reset/ATX feature, 4xUSB ports, 2 LAN interfaces,
PS/2 Keyboard, PS/2 Mouse connector, Compact-Flash socket, VGA and one serial port. These family
features allow the use of the same chassis over the whole product line and maximize design reuse.
EPIC modules allow the use of standard notebook SODIMM memory modules and full ATX power supplies.
An optional 5V-only version is available, too. These homogeneous features facilitate easy upgrades
within the EPIC product family.
Display connections are simplified when using the onboard standard JILI Interface (JUMPtec®
Intelligent LVDS Interface). JILI automatically recognizes which display is connected and independently
sets all video parameters. All EPIC modules are plug-and-work enabled to further reduce time-to-market.
As part of the standard features package, all EPIC modules come with a JUMPtec Intelligent Device
Architecture (JIDA) interface, which is integrated into the BIOS. This interface enables hardware-
independent access to EPIC 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 EPIC module feature.
The EPIC line products support the PC/104-Plus (PCI) and the PC/104 (ISA) standard via Kontron’s own,
special PCI-to-ISA bridge. Because of the availability of both extension buses, all past and future PC/104
expansion assemblies with state-of-the-art processor performance can be accommodated.

3 Getting started
Kontron User's Guide EPIC/CE 12
3Getting started
Getting started with the EPIC/CE is very easy. Take the following steps:
®Turn off the power supply.
®Connect the power supply to the EPIC’s power supply connector. The board is
available in an AT- (5V-only) or an ATX-version.
®Plug a memory module into the memory socket of the EPIC.
®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.
®Connect the floppy drive cable to the EPIC’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 EPIC’s hard-disk interface.
®Attach the hard disk to the connector at the opposite end of the cable.
®Connect the power supply to the hard disk’s power connector.
®If required, plug the PC/104 and PC/104-Plus extension cards to the buses.
®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.

4.3 Electrical Specifications
4.3.1 Supply Voltages
EPIC CPU boards can be equipped with two different power-supply connectors. The ATX connector version
requires at least +5V and +5V standby, while the AT connector version operates at +5V-only. The voltages
+3.3V, +12V, -12V and –5V are not required for the operation of the EPIC itself. Varying voltages may be
required for peripheral devices such as backlight inverters or PC/104 and PC/104-Plus extension
modules.
®+5V DC +/- 5%
®+5V DC Standby +/- 5%
®+3,3V DC (required for 3.3V PC/104-Plus extension cards)
®+12V DC (required for some PC/104, PC/104-Plus extension cards or for JILI cables)
®-12V DC (required for some PC/104, PC/104-Plus extension cards)

®100mV peak to peak 0 - 20MHz
4.3.3 Supply Current (typical)
The EPIC/CE is equipped with power-saving features. Different power-consumption tests were executed
to give an overview of the electrical conditions for several operational states. The board used a 256MB
SDRAM module for test results shown below. An attached hard disk was not supplied through the

4.4 MTBF
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 involved the “Method 1 Case 1” method. In that particular method, the
components were assumed to be operating at a 50% stress level in a 40° C ambient environment, and
the system was assumed to have not been burned in. Manufacturer’s data was used wherever possible.
The manufacturer’s data, when used, was specified at 50° C, which means that the following results were
slightly conservative. The MTBF values shown below were for a 40° C office or telecommunications
environment. Higher temperatures and other environmental stresses (extreme altitude, vibration, and
salt water exposure) will lower the MTBF values.
®System MTBF (hours) : To Be Done
Notes: Fans shipped with Kontron Embedded Modules GmbH products have an operating life of up to 50,000 hours.
The estimates above assumed that a passive heat-sinking arrangement was used instead of a fan.
Estimated RTC battery life (as opposed to battery failures) was not accounted for in the above figures and
needs separate consideration. Battery life depends on temperature and operating conditions. When the
Kontron unit has external power, battery drain comes from leakage paths.

4.5 Environmental Specifications
4.5.1 Temperature
The Intel®Celeron®is specified for proper operation when the junction temperature is within the
specified range of 0°C to 100°C.
The Intel®815E chipset temperature runs at a maximum of 100°C. The Intel®ICH4 I/O Controller Hub 4
(82801DB) case temperature runs at a maximum of 110°C.
The processor protects itself from catastrophic overheating by use of an internal thermal sensor at a
temperature level of approximately 135°C.
®Operating: 0 to +60 C (*) (with appropriate airflow)
®Non-operating: -10 to +85 °C (non-condensing)
Note: (*) The maximum operating temperature is the maximum measurable
temperature on any spot on the module’s surface. You must maintain the
temperature according to the above specification.
4.5.2 Humidity
®Operating: 10% to 90% (non-condensing)
®Non-operating: 5% to 95% (non-condensing)
