Use of this Users Guide implies a basic knowledge of PC-AT hard- and software. This manual is
focused on describing the KTQM67 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 CMOS setup menus. Only exception is the Clear CMOS jumper.
Introduction

KTQM67 Users Guide
KTD-N0819-E 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 KTQM67/mITX and 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 CMOS 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
KTQM67/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 CMOS settings, including Password protection, move the Clear CMOS jumper in the
Clear CMOS position (with or without power) for ~10 sec. This will Load Failsafe Defaults and make sure
Secure CMOS is disabled.

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” capable
of being used for processors having Thermal Guideline up to 45W,
fully loaded and at ambient temperature up to 60ºC.
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.

2.4 System Memory support
The KTQM67/mITX has two DDR3 SODIMM sockets and the KTQM67/FLEX and /ATXP have four
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 1066/1333/1600MT/s (PC3-8500/PC3-10600/PC3-12800)
(DDR3 1600 only supported by some i7 processors)
•From 256MB and up to 4x 8GB. (up to 2x4GB tested)
Notes:
Only some of the processors support 4 SODIMM slots
(see processor Support Table for more information).
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. The KTQM67 board is powered through the ATX/BTX connector and
ATX+12V connector. Both connectors must be used in according to the ATX12V PSU standard.
However the KTQM67/mITX also supports single +12V via ATX+12V-4pin Power Connector, but power
limitations apply to +5V, where 14x USB, LVDS panel or eDP panel, COM ports, LPT port and
Frontpanel connector shares 9.5A. ATX+12V-4pin power limitation is 145W, however more +12V power
can be added via +12V and GND terminals in the 24-pin power connector.
The requirements to the supply voltages are as follows:
Supply Min Max Note
VCC3.3 3.168V 3.432V Should be ±4% for compliance with the ATX specification
Vcc 4.75V 5.25V Should be ±5% for compliance with the ATX specification.
Should be minimum 5.00V measured at USB connectors
in order to meet the requirements of USB standard.
+12V 11.4V 12.6V Should be ±5% for compliance with the ATX specification
–12V –13.2V –10.8V Should be ±10% for compliance with the ATX specification
-5V -5,50V -4.5V Not required for the KTQM67 boards
5VSB 4.75V 5.25V Should be ±5% for compliance with the ATX specification

Note that the above listed power consumptions are inclusive 15 - 25W (depending on actual load of
PSU) for PSU, HDD and DVD.
More detailed Static Power Consumption
On the following pages the power consumption of different KTQM67 boards in different configurations
are listed.
For each configuration the power consumptions result are listed in 5 tables:
1- DOS, idle, mean
2- Windows7, Running 3DMARK 2005 & BiT 6, mean
3- S0, mean
4- S3, mean
5- S5, mean
Note: some S5 measurements have been carried out in two sub modes M3 and Moff. Only S5/M3 mode
maintains power to the circuits used for AMT and waking up the system via LAN, Keyboard and USB,
while both S5/M3 and S5/Moff maintain power to RTC, Power Button In circuit and CMOS data.
