Use of this Users Guide implies a basic knowledge of PC-AT hard- and software. This manual is
focused on describing the KTQ67 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

KTQ67 Users Guide
KTD-N0829-G Page 9
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 (DRAM, LAN cards etc.) might get damaged. 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 DRAM, CPU and cooler mounted, then relevant steps below, can be skipped.
1. Turn off the PSU (Power Supply Unit)
2. Insert the DRAM(s) (UDIMM 240pin)
Be careful to push it in the slot(s) before locking the tabs. For a list of approved DRAM 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 finger 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.
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).

(*) ECC not supported on KTQ67.
Not all CPUs, even of same type, support all functions ex. i7 3770K, i7 2600K, i5 3570K, 3450, 3450S,
3350P, 3330S, 3330 and i5 2500K, 2300,2310, 2320, 2380P, 2450P, 2550K doesn’t support vPro while
all other i7 and i5 does.
Most of the processors 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. For more details see http://ark.intel.com
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.

Warning: Make sure sufficient airflow is always present around the components located below
the cooler. Different coolers are available on the market and some is not generating any airflow
or is blocking the airflow around these components, causing reduced lifetime.
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.
It is recommended to use a cooler like the Kontron
PN 1046-6305 “KTQ67 Cooler”.
The design of this cooler makes sure airflow is
always present around the components below the
cooler. Even if Fan is set to be off, it is still running
a minimum RPM (Rotation Per Minute).
Air sucked in to the cooler
Air blown out of the cooler
Components below the cooler
Note: The temperature of the air blown out of the cooler should be 70

2.4 System Memory support
The KTQ67/FLEX and /ATXE have four DDR3 UDIMM sockets. The sockets support the following
memory features:
•4x DDR3 1.5V UDIMM 240-pin
•Dual-channel with 2 UDIMM per channel
•Single/dual rank unbuffered 1066/1333MT/s (PC3-8500/PC3-10600)
From 256MB and up to 4x 8GB.
Note: Less than 4GB displayed in System Properties using 32bit OS
(Shared Video Memory/PCI resources is subtracted)
•SPD timings supported
•ECC not supported
The installed DDR3 DIMM 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 DIMM 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 DIMMs and processors.

System Specification
It has not been verified that the combination of CPU
supporting Bus Speed 1600 MHz and DDR3 1600 actually
runs at 1600 MHz.
In order to support Intel ® AMT (Management Engine) SLOT
A0 must always be populated. In case of using more than a
single DIMM it is recommended to populate A0 + B0 first.
