Introduction
This manual describes the KTQ45/Flex and KTQ45/ATXE boards made by KONTRON Technology A/S. The
boards will also be denoted KTQ45 family if no differentiation is required.
The KTQ45 boards supports the Intel® Core™2 Quad processor Q9000 series, the Intel® Core™2 Duo
processor E8000 and E7000 series with a maximum TDP of 95W. These processors belong to the Intel
Yorkfield and Wolfdale families.

Use of this Users Guide implies a basic knowledge of PC-AT hard- and software. This manual is focused on
describing the KTQ45 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 by the user in the CMOS setup
menus. Except for the CMOS Clear jumper (JBAT1), ME Jumper (JBAT2), SPI jumper (JP6), Interface BIOS
jumper (JP3 and JP5), RS485 mode selection jumper (KTQ45/ATXE only) (JP7&JP9).

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.
Do not use PSU’s without 3.3V monitoring watchdog, which is standard feature in ATX PSU’s.
Running the board without 3.3V connected will damage the board after a few minutes.
!
1 Installation procedure
1.1 Installing the board
To get the board running, follow these steps. In some cases the board shipped from KONTRON Technology
has DDR3 DRAM mounted. In this case Step 2 can be skipped.
1. Turn off the power supply
2. Insert the DDR3 DIMM 240pin DRAM module(s)
Be careful to push it in the slot(s) before locking the tabs. For a list of approved DDR3 DIMM modules
contact your Distributor or FAE.
DDR3-800/1066 DIMM 240pin DRAM modules (PC3-6400/PC3-8500) 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. The Intel® Core™2 Quad, Intel® Core™2 Duo in the LGA775 package are supported, refer
to supported processor overview for details.
Opening the socket:
Apply pressure to the corner with right hand thumb while opening/closing the load lever, otherwise lever can
bounce back like a “mouse trap” and WILL cause bent contacts (when loaded)
1. Disengage Load Lever by depressing down and out on the hook to clear retention tab
2. Rotate Load Lever to fully open position at approximately 135°
3. Rotate Load Plate to fully open position at approximately 100°
Remove Socket Protective Cover
With left hand index finger and thumb to support the load plate edge, engage protective cover finger tab with
right hand thumb and peel the cover from LGA775 Socket while pressing on center of protective cover to
assist in removal.
Set protective cover aside. Always put cover back on if the processor is removed from the socket.
IMPORTANT: For return goods (RMA): warranty is void if returned without Protective cover.
Do NOT touch socket contacts
NOTE: Regardless of the Memory
configuration used, DDR3 SLOT 1
(J1) must always be populated.

!
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.
Visually inspect protective cover for damage
If damage observed, replace the cover.
Note: After cover removal, make sure socket load plate and contacts are free of foreign material. Debris may
be removed with compressed air.
Note: Removing protective cover after CPU insertion will compromise the ability to visually inspect socket.
Processor Installation
Locate Connection 1 indicator and the two orientation key notches.
Grasp the processor with thumb and index finger. (Grasp the edges without the orientation notches.)
The socket has cutouts for your fingers to fit into.
Carefully place the package into the socket body using a purely vertical motion. (Tilting the processor into
place or shifting it into place on the socket can damage the sensitive socket contacts.)
CAUTION: Recommend not to use a Vacuum Pen for installation.
Verify that package is within the socket body and properly mated to the orientation keys
Close the socket by:
A. Close the Load Plate
B. While pressing down lightly on Load Plate, engage the Load Lever.
C. Secure Load Lever with Load Plate tab under retention tab of Load Lever
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 CRT monitor must be connected in order to
change CMOS settings. When using bootable SATA disk, then connect to SATA0 or SATA2 or select in
BIOS “ATA/IDE Configuration” = Enhanced.
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.
Enter Exit Menu and Load Optimal Defaults.
Refer to the “BIOS Configuration / Setup“ section of this manual for details on BIOS setup.
10. 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 mounting hole / cause short circuit.
Note: To clear all CMOS settings, including Password protection, move the Clr-CMOS jumper
(with/without power) for ~1 minute. This will also disable any Secure CMOS setup on the board.
Alternatively, turn off power and remove the battery for 1 minute, but be careful to orientate the battery
correctly when reinserted.
