1Introduction
This manual describes the KTQM87/mITX board made by KONTRON. This board will also be denoted KTQM87
within this Users Guide.
The KTQM87 board is based on the QM87 chipset, support 4th generation Intel® Haswell i7 -, i5 -, i3 2Core
and 4Core mobile processors, and Celeron. 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 KTQM87 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.

KTQM87/mITX Users Guide
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. Make sure only to use standard ATX PSU running the
board with non-compliant ATX PSU may damage the board within minutes.
!
2Installation Procedure
Installing the Board2.1
To get the board running follow these steps. If the board shipped from KONTRON has already components
like RAM and CPU cooler mounted, then relevant steps below can be skipped.
1. Turn off the PSU (Power Supply Unit)
2. Insert the DDR3 DIMM 240pin DIMM module(s)
Be careful to push it in the slot(s) before locking the tabs. For a list of approved DDR3 DIMMs contact your
Distributor or FAE. See also chapter “System Memory Support”.
3. Cooler Installation
Make sure the heat paste etc. on the cooler is intact and cover the full area of the CPU. Connect Cooler
Fan electrically to the FANCPU connector.
4. Connecting Interfaces
Insert all external cables for hard disk, keyboard etc. A monitor must be connected in order to change
BIOS settings.
5. Connect and turn on PSU
Connect PSU to the board by the ATX+12V-24p and the ATX+12V- 4p connectors.
6. Power Button
If the board does not start by itself when switching on the ATX PSU AC mains, then follow these
instructions to start the board. Install the Always On Jumper in the Always On position or toggle the
PWRBTN_IN# signal (available in the FRONTPNL connector), by momentary shorting pins 16
(PWRBTN_IN#) and pin 18 (GND). A “normally open” switch is recommended.
7. BIOS Setup
Enter the BIOS setup by pressing the <F2> key during boot up.
Enter “Exit Menu” and Load Setup Defaults.
Refer to the “BIOS Configuration / Setup“ section of this manual for details on BIOS setup.

System Memory support3.4
The KTQM87/mITX has two DDR3 UDIMM sockets. The sockets support the following memory features:
•2x DDR3 1.5V/1.35V UDIMM 240-pin
•Dual-channel with 1 UDIMM per channel
•From 1GB and up to 2x 8GB.
Note: If using 32bit OS then less than 4GB in displayed in System Properties
(Shared Video Memory/PCI resources is subtracted)
•Single/dual rank unbuffered 1333/1600MT/s (PC3-10600/PC3-12800)
•SPD timings supported
•ECC 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 167 MHz. The table below lists the resulting operating memory
frequencies based on the combination of DIMMs and processor.

*SKU changes were caused by administrative issues only, no hardware changes.
**Named are always the min. requirements, the shipped memory can fulfill a higher performance level
Memory modules have in general a much lower longevity than embedded motherboards, and therefor EOL
of modules can be expected several times during lifetime of the motherboard. Kontron guarantees that the
above P/N will be maintained so that EOL module will be replaced by other similar type of qualified module.
As a minimum it is recommend using Kontron memory modules for prototype system(s) in order to prove
stability of the system and as for reference.
For volume production you might request to test and qualify other types of RAM. In order to qualify RAM it
is recommend configuring 3 systems running RAM Stress Test program in heat chamber at 60⁰C for a
minimum of 24 hours.

Power Consumption3.6
In order to ensure safe operation of the board, the ATX+12V power supply must monitor the supply voltage
and shut down if the supplies are out of range – refer to 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 KTQM87 board must be powered through the ATX+12V-4p
(4-pole) and the ATX+12V-24p (24-pole) connectors using standard ATX power supply.
ATX12V supply: Both ATX+12V-4p connector and ATX+12V-24p 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.
