1. Introduction
This manual describes the 986LCD-M/Flex, 986LCD-M/ATXP, 986LCD-M/ATXE and 986LCD-M/mITX
boards made by KONTRON Technology A/S. The boards will also be denoted 986LCD family if no
differentiation is required.
All boards are to be used with the Intel® Core™Duo, Intel® Core™ 2 Duo, Intel® Core™Solo and Celeron®
M Processors. These belong to the Intel Yonah and Merom processor families.
Use of this manual implies a basic knowledge of PC-AT hard- and software. This manual is focused on
describing the 986LCD 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 chapter 3 before switching-
on the power.
All configuration and setup of the CPU board is either done automatically or by the user in the CMOS setup
menus. Except for the CMOS Clear jumper, no jumper configuration is required.

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.
2. Installation procedure
2.1 Installing the board
To get the board running, follow these steps. In some cases the board shipped from KONTRON Technology
has CPU, DDR DRAM and Cooler mounted. In this case Step 2-4 can be skipped.
1. Turn off the power supply.
2. Insert the DDR2 DIMM 240pin DRAM module(s). Important: If only one module is used then use Slot 0.
Be careful to push it in the slot(s) before locking the tabs. For a list of approved DDR2 DIMM modules
contact your Distributor or FAE (list under preparation).
DDR2-667 DIMM 240pin DRAM modules (PC5400) 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. Intel® Core™Duo, Intel® Core™ 2 Duo, Intel® Core™Solo and
Celeron® M Processors are supported, refer to supported processor overview for details.
4. Use heat paste or adhesive pads between CPU and cooler and connect the Fan electrically to the
FAN_CPU (J21) connector.
5. Insert all external cables for hard disk, keyboard etc. except for flat panel. A CRT monitor must be
connected in order to change CMOS settings to flat panel support. To achieve UDMA-66/100
performance on the IDE interface, 80poled UDMA cables must be used. When using bootable SATA disk,
then connect to SATA0 or SATA2 or select in BIOS “ATA/IDE Configuration” = Enhanced.
6. Connect power supply to the board by the ATX/ BTXPWR and 4-pin ATX connectors. For board to operate
connection of both the ATX/BTX and 4-pin ATX (12V) connectors are required.
7. Turn on the power on the ATX/ BTX power supply.
8. 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.
9. Enter the BIOS setup by pressing the “DEL” key during boot up. Refer to the Software Manual (under
preparation) for details on BIOS setup.
Enter Advanced Menu / CPU Configuration / Intel SpeedStep Tech. and set this option to “Maximum
Performance”.
Note: To clear all CMOS settings, including Password protection, move the CMOS_CLR jumper (with or without
power) for approximately 1 minute. Alternatively turn off power and remove the battery for 1 minute, but be
careful to orientate the battery corretly when reinserted.
Warning: Do not use Power Supply without 3.3V monitoring watchdog, which is
standard feature in ATX Power Supplies.
Running the board without 3.3V connected will damage the board after a few minutes.

2.2 Requirement according to EN60950
Users of 986LCD boards should take care when designing chassis interface connectors in order to fulfill the
EN60950 standard:
Lithium Battery precautions:
CAUTION!
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly
replaced.

Levér det brugte batteri tilbage til leverandøren.
ADVARSEL
Eksplosjonsfare ved feilaktig skifte av batteri.
Benytt samme batteritype eller en tilsvarende
type anbefalt av apparatfabrikanten.
Brukte batterier kasseres i henhold til fabrikantens
instruksjoner.
VARNING
Explosionsfara vid felaktigt batteribyte.
Använd samma batterityp eller en ekvivalent
typ som rekommenderas av apparattillverkaren.
Kassera använt batteri enligt fabrikantens
instruktion.
VAROITUS
Paristo voi räjähtää, jos se on virheellisesti
asennettu.
Vaihda paristo ainoastaan laltevalmistajan
suosittelemaan
tyyppiln. Hävitä käytetty paristo valmistajan
ohjeiden
mukaisesti.
When an interface/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 peripheral devices the customer has to take care about:
•That the wires have the right diameter to withstand the maximum available power.
•That the enclosure of the peripheral device fulfils the fire protecting requirements of IEC/EN 60950.
