1. Introduction
This manual describes the KT690/mITX board made by KONTRON Technology A/S. The board will also be
denoted KT690 family if no differentiation is required.
All boards are to be used with the Mobile AMD Sempron™ and AMD Turion™ 64 X2 Mobile Processors for
S1 socket.
Use of this manual implies a basic knowledge of PC-AT hard- and software. This manual is focused on
describing the KT690 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.

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, DDR2 DRAM and Cooler mounted. In this case Step 2-4 can be skipped.
1. Turn off the power supply
2. Insert the DDR2 SODIMM 200pin DRAM module(s)
Push down the module from the top side until the tabs lock. For a list of approved DDR2 SODIMM modules
contact your Distributor or FAE.
DDR2-667 SODIMM 200pin DRAM modules (PC5300) are supported.
3. Install the processor
The CPU is keyed and will only mount in the CPU socket in one way. Use a 6mm flatheaded screwdriver
to open/ close the CPU socket. The Mobile AMD Sempron™ and AMD Turion™ 64 X2 Mobile
Processors for S1 socket are supported, refer to supported processor overview for details.
4. Cooler Installation
On the board backside, place frame with thread pointing away from the board. Place insulator material
between board and frame. Use the 4 screws to lock the cooler from the topside; make sure to align the
cooler even with the board. Connect the Fan electrically to the CPU FAN 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 to flat panel support.
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.

6. Connect Power supply
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. 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.
9. BIOS Setup
Enter the BIOS setup by pressing the <Del> key during boot up. Refer to the “BIOS Configuration / Setup“
section of this manual 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 Clr-CMOS 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 correctly when reinserted.

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.

See chapter “Power Consumption” regarding input tolerances on 3.3V, 5V, SB5V, +12 and -12V (also refer
to ATX specification version 2.2).
Control signal description:
Signal Description
P_OK P_OK is a power good signal and should be asserted high by the power supply to indicate
that the +5VDC and +3.3VDC outputs are above the undervoltage thresholds of the power
supply. When this signal is asserted high, there should be sufficient energy stored by the
converter to guarantee continuous power operation within specification. Conversely, when
the output voltages fall below the undervoltage threshold, or when mains power has been
removed for a time sufficiently long so that power supply operation is no longer guaranteed,
P_OK should be de-asserted to a low state. The recommended electrical and timing
characteristics of the P_OK (PWR_OK) signal are provided in the ATX12V Power
SupplyDesign Guide.
It is strongly recommended to use an ATX or BTX supply with the KT690 boards, in order to
implement the supervision of the 5V and 3V3 supplies. These supplies are not supervised
onboard the KT690 boards.
PS_ON# Active low open drain signal from the board to the power supply to turn on the power supply
outputs. Signal must be pulled high by the power supply.
