Introduction 4 coolMONSTER/S User’s Guide
2. INTRODUCTION
2.1 coolMONSTER/S
The coolMONSTER/S integrates the complete functionality of a Pentium motherboard with CPU,
system BIOS, 8MB to 128MB SDRAM memory, keyboard controller, real-time clock, onboard VGA
with LCD interface and additional peripheral functions like serial ports, parallel port, floppy
interface, EIDE hard-disk interfaces, USB interface, IrDA interface, watchdog, Ethernet access, and
audio.
The coolMONSTER/S comes with a low-power, 266MHz Intel Pentiumprocessor with MMX
Technology in an HL-PBGA-package. This processor is specified for proper operation when case
temperature is within the specified range of 0C to 95C. The board can operate in the temperature
range specified for this board without using a heatsink. (See the Specifications section.)
Unlike previous versions of coolMONSTER products, this coolMONSTER/S is equipped with a right
angle SDRAM-socket, which limits the complete height to 25mm.
The coolMONSTER/S is designed in the PISA format, which provides the functionality of the PCI and
ISA bus on one well-defined bus. When connecting the backplane to the PISA board, just one EISA-
like edge card connector is used.
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 easier to design backplanes with up
to four PCI slots and additional ISA slots.

CoolMONSTER/S User’s Guide 5 Introduction
2.2 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,
Sound, IrDA, EIDE 40pin and 44pin, LPT, LAN, VGA, USB, and Floppy. These homogeneous features
make upgrades easier 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 fully sized PICMG boards that had PCI and ISA card edges in a
row. PISA squeezed them to just half-size, which still serves full PCI and ISA buses, which enabled
smaller and cheaper enclosures when possible while maintaining all PCI and ISA periphery.
Whenever a LCD panel is required, coolMONSTER products with onboard graphics controllers are 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 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.

Getting Started 6 coolMONSTER/S User’s Guide
3. GETTING STARTED
The easiest way to get the coolMONSTER/S board running is to use a PISA baseboard from Kontron
Embedded Modules GmbH. Take the following steps:
1. Turn off the power supply.
2. Connect the power supply to the baseboard or the coolMONSTER.
3. Plug a memory module into the memory socket of the coolMONSTER.
4. Plug the coolMONSTER to the PISA baseboard.
5. Connect the CRT monitor to the CRT interface or a LCD panel to the JIPA interface by using
the corresponding adapter cable.
6. Plug the keyboard to the PS/2 keyboard connector and the mouse to the PS/2 mouse
connector.
7. Connect the floppy drive cable to the coolMONSTER floppy interface. Attach the floppy drive
to the connector at the opposite end of the cable.
8. Connect the power supply to the floppy’s power connector.
9. Plug a hard-drive data cable to one of the coolMONSTER hard-disk interfaces. Attach the
hard disk to the connector at the opposite end of the cable.
10. If necessary, connect the power supply to the hard disk’s power connector.
11. Make sure all your connections have been made correctly.
12. Turn on power.
13. 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 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 used is “Method 1 Case 1”. Using this method, components are
assumedto 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 office or telecommunications
environment. Higher temperatures and other environmental stresses such as extreme altitude,
vibration, and salt-water exposure will lower the MTBF values.
System MTBF (hours) : 221390
Notes: Fans shipped with Kontron Embedded Modules GmbH products have 50,000-
hours of typical operating life.
The estimates assume that a passive heat sink is used.
Estimated RTC battery life (as opposed to battery failures) is not accounted for in
the above figures and needs to be considered separately. Battery life depends on
temperature and operating conditions. When the Kontron unit has external power;
battery drain occurs from leakage paths.

5.2 Chipset
The coolMONSTER/S board operates with the Pentium chipset Ali Aladdin V AGPset, which consists
of the M1541 (north bridge) and M1543C-B1 (south bridge). Older versions of this board may as
well be equipped with the M1542 (north bridge) and the M1543C-A1 (south bridge). The chipset
provides the following features:
North Bridge M1541
Pipelined-burst SRAM/Memory cache
SDRAM DRAMs
Synchronous/pseudo synchronous 3.3V/5V tolerance PCI interface
Enhanced power management
Accelerated graphics port (AGP) interface
South Bridge M1543C:
PCI 3.3V/5V tolerance interface
Buffers control
Provides steerable PCI interrupts for PCI device Plug-and-Play
Enhanced DMA controller
Interrupt controller
Counters/timers
Distributed DMA supported
Serialized IRQ supported
Plug-and-Play supported
Built-in keyboard controller
Positive/subtractive decode for ISA device
PMU features
Built-in PCI IDE controller
USB interface
Super I/O controller for two serial interfaces, parallel and floppy drive interfaces
5.3 Super I/O
An additional SMsC FDC37C669 offers two more serial interfaces (COM C and COM D). The I/O port
addresses of these two more serial interfaces are mirrored every 800hex because the address

Video Controller 14 coolMONSTER/S User’s Guide
6. VIDEO CONTROLLER
The coolMONSTER/S comes with an AGP graphic controller CT69000 from Asiliant. The controller
features a LCD and CRT simultaneous true 64-bit graphics engine and accelerator and integrated
2MB of video memory (SDRAM).
6.1 Video Subsystem Block Diagram
6.2 Supported Display Types
The graphics controller supports mono-LCD, TFT, and STN displays with resolutions up to SXGA
(1280x1024). The coolMONSTER/S video BIOS is integrated in the system BIOS and supports
different panel types, which are identified via the configuration pins on the LCD panel connector.
The coolMONSTER/S can support a variety of panel, which are all configured by a dedicated cable
for each panel. Setting jumpers or changing software is not required. Because nearly all LCDs use
different connectors, pin-out, or LCD voltages, this is the easiest and safest way to configure
different panels.
6.2.1. Current Panel Information
To find out whether your panel is supported by the coolMONSTER/S, check the Kontron Embedded
Modules GmbH support pages on the Internet for the actual panel lists. A “Panel Configurator”
offers the latest information about all adapted and tested LCDs and is regularly updated.
