Introduction
This manual describes the KTQM77/mITX board made by KONTRON Technology A/S. The boards will
also be denoted KTQM77.
The KTQM77 board is based on the QM77 chipset, support 3rd generation Intel® i7 -, i5 -, i3 2Core and
4Core mobile processors. See “Processor Support Table for more specific details.
Use of this Users Guide implies a basic knowledge of PC-AT hard- and software. This manual is
focused on describing the KTQM77 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 BIOS setup menus. Only exception is the “Load Default BIOS Settings” Jumper.
Introduction

KTQM77/mITX Users Guide
KTD-N0850-B Page 8
Warning: Turn off PSU (Power Supply Unit) completely (no mains power connected to the
PSU) or leave the Power Connectors unconnected while configuring the board. Otherwise
components (RAM, LAN cards etc.) might get damaged. If not using single 12V power input
make sure PSU has 3.3V monitoring watchdog (standard ATX PSU feature), running the board
without 3.3V will damage the board within minutes.
!
!
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.
1 Installation procedure
1.1 Installing the board
To get the board running, follow these steps. If the board shipped from KONTRON has already
components like RAM, CPU and cooler mounted, then relevant steps below, can be skipped.
1. Turn off the PSU (Power Supply Unit)
2. Insert the DDR3 DIMM 204pin SODIMM module(s)
Be careful to push it in the slot(s) before locking the tabs. For a list of approved DDR3 SODIMMs
contact your Distributor or FAE. See also chapter “System Memory Support”.
3. Install the processor
The CPU is keyed and will only mount in the CPU socket in one way. Use suitable screwdriver to
open/ close the CPU socket. 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 monitor must be connected in order to be
able change BIOS settings.
6. Connect and turn on PSU
Connect PSU to the board by the ATX/BTXPWR and the 4-pin ATX+12V connectors. For the
KTQM77/mITX alternatively use only the 4-pin ATX+12V connector if single voltage operation (+12V
+/-5%) is requested.
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.
Installation procedure
Note: To clear all BIOS settings, including Password protection, activate “Load Default BIOS Settings”
Jumper for ~10 sec (without power connected).

Note: Sufficient cooling must be applied to the CPU in order to
remove the effect as listed in above table (Thermal Guideline). The
sufficient cooling is also depending on the maximum (worst-case)
ambient operating temperature and the actual load of processor.
The Kontron PN 1044-9447 is “Active Cooler for KTQM67/KTQM77”
capable of being used for processors (fully loaded) having Thermal
Guideline up to 45W @ 60ºC ambient temperature.
All the processors in the list above, inclusive the Celeron processor, are supporting the Enhanced Intel®
SpeedStep® which is improved SpeedStep technology for faster transition between voltage (power
saving states) and frequency states with the result of improved power/performance balance.
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 is supported by i5 and i7, as indicated in above list of processors,
and is enabling overclocking of all cores, when operated within the limits of thermal design power,
temperature and current.
Intel® vPro Technology is supported by some of the i5 and i7 (not by Core i3).
2.4 System Memory support
The KTQM77/mITX has two DDR3 SODIMM sockets. The sockets support the following memory
features:
•1.5V (only) 204-pin DDR3 SODIMM with gold-plated contacts
•Single/dual rank unbuffered DDR3 1333/1600MT/s (PC3-10600/PC3-12800)
•From 256MB and up to 2x 8GB. (up to 2x4GB tested)
Notes: Less than 4GB displayed in System Properties using 32bit OS
(Shared Video Memory/PCI resources is subtracted)
•SPD timings supported
•ECC not supported (PGA processors do not support ECC)
The installed DDR3 SODIMM 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 SODIMM type used, the memory frequency will either be equal to or less than the
processor system bus frequency. For example, if DDR3 1600 memory is used with a 1333 MHz system
bus frequency processor, the memory clock will operate at 666 MHz. The table below lists the resulting
operating memory frequencies based on the combination of SODIMMs and processors.

2.6 Power Consumption
In order to ensure safe operation of the board, the ATX12V power supply must monitor the supply
voltage and shut down if the supplies are out of range – refer to the hardware manual for the actual
power supply specification. Please note, In order to keep the power consumption to a minimal level,
boards do not implement a guaranteed minimum load. In some cases, this can lead to compatibility
problems with ATX power supplies, which require a minimum load to stay in regulation. The
KTQM77/mITX board is powered through the ATX+12V (4-pole) connector and optionally also ATX/BTX
(24-pole) connector.
Single 12V supply: When powered by 12V only (via ATX+12V connector) then limitations apply to +5V,
where 14x USB, LVDS panel or eDP panel, COM ports, LPT port and Frontpanel connector shares
9.5A. 4-pole connector power limitation is 145W maximum, but if required more +12V power can be
added via +12V (and GND) terminals in the 24-pin power connector. It is allowed to use the +12V and
+5V from the 24-pole connector in order to drive external devices, but please notice that it is not allowed
to use the SB5V, POK and PSON# signals.
ATX12V supply: Both ATX+12V connector and ATX/BTX connector must be used in according to the
ATX12V PSU standard.
Warning: Hot Plugging power supply is not supported. Hot plugging might damage the board.
The requirements to the supply voltages are as follows:
Supply Min Max Note
