2 Introduction
2.1 pITX Embedded Line Family

Each pITX is a member of the 2.5" SBC family of KONTRON Technology A/S based on the Pico-ITXTM specifi-
cation (only mechanical outer dimensions) from the Small Form Factor Special Interest Group (SFF-SIG).
pITX embedded line modules are characterized by the same front-line pinouts and interfaces for reset logic
and simple power supply, 2 x USB, Gigabit LAN, S-ATA, Audio, GPIOs, DVI and LVDS interface. These embed-
ded line family features allow to use of the same chassis over the whole product line and maximize design
reuse.
The pITX embedded line modules allow the use of standard laptop memories.
These homogeneous features facilitate easy upgrades within the pITX embedded line product family. Con-
nection of LCD panels is simplified when using the onboard standard JILI30 interface.

3.6 Environmental Specifications
Temperature
Operating (with original KONTRON heat-spreader plate and heat-sink):
1)
³ Ambient temperature: 0 to +60°C
Non operating:
³ Ambient temperature: -10 to +85°C
Note: 1) It is the customer's responsibility to provide sufficient airflow around each of the components to keep them within the
allowed temperature range.

Humidity
³ Operating: 10% to 90% (non condensing)
³ Non operating: 5% to 95% (non condensing)
3.7 MTBF
The following MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) values were calculated using a combination of manufac-
turer’s test data, if the data was available, and a Bellcore calculation for the remaining parts. The Bellcore
calculation used is 'method 1 case 1'. In that particular method the components are assumed to be
operating at a 50% stress level in a 40°C ambient environment and the system is assumed to have not been
burned in. Manufacturer’s data has been used wherever possible. The manufacturer’s data, when used, is
specified at 50°C, so in that sense the following results are slightly conservative. The MTBF values shown
below are for a 40°C in an office or telecommunications environment. Higher temperatures and other envi-
ronmental stresses (extreme altitude, vibration, salt water exposure, etc.) cause lower MTBF values.
³ System MTBF (hours): 252839
Note: Fans usually shipped with KONTRON Technology A/S products have 50.000-hour typical operating life. The above esti-
mation assumes no fan but a passive heat sinking arrangement. Estimated RTC battery life (as opposed to battery failures)
is not included in the MTBF calculation. The RTC battery lifetime has to be considered separately. Battery life depends on
both temperature and operating conditions. When the KONTRON unit has external power; the only battery drain is from
leakage paths.

KTD-S0031-E Page 11 Getting Started
4 Getting Started
Getting started with the KTA55/pITX is simple. Take the following steps:
Plug a suitable DDR3-SDRAM memory module into the RAM socket.

Connect a DVI monitor to the DVI connector.
Plug a keyboard and/or mouse to the USB connector(s).
Attach a harddisk to the S-ATA connector.
Make sure all your connections have been made correctly. Connect the power supply to the
KTA55/pITX power supply connector.
Turn on the board by shortening the power button pins with a push button on power front
panel header (J2401) or use the autostart jumper (J2403).
Enter the BIOS by pressing the Del key during boot-up. Make all changes in the BIOS Setup.
See the BIOS Setup chapter of this manual for details.
5 System Memory
The KTA55/pITX uses only 204 pin Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Modules (SODIMMs). One socket is
available for +1.5V unbuffered DDR3-800 or DDR3-1066 SDRAM of up to 4 GB.
The total amount of memory available on the SDRAM module is used for main memory and graphic memory
on KTA55/pITX. Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) manages the sharing of the system memory between
graphic controller and processor. Therefore the full memory size is not available for software applications.
Attention: KONTRON Technology A/S cannot guarantee the correct functionality of the KTA55/pITX when a module faster then
DDR3-1066 is used.

KTD-S0031-E Page 12 Graphics Interface
6 Graphics Interface
The graphics accelerator supports a DVI interface up to 165 MHz combined with a DisplayPort/LVDS con-
troller with dual clock, color depths of 18/24 bit and resolutions up to 1920x1200 pixel.

Warning: Check jumper J1203 (Panel Power) for correct settings for your panel – not doing so might cause permanent damage to
your panel.
6.3 Connecting a Flat Panel

To determine whether your flat panel is supported check the Display Cable Guide on the KONTRON web site.
If you use one of those adapters supplied by KONTRON configuration is easy:
Check whether you have the correct adapter and cable for the panel you plan to use. Inspect
the cable for damages. Disconnect the power from your system.
Check jumper J1203 for correct panel voltage (Pos. 1-2 = +3.3V 2-3 = +5V).
Connect an external power supply for the correct backlight voltage (exception: +5V).
Connect the cable to the flat panel connector J1202 on the KTA55/pITX and connect the other
end to your display.
Connect a DVI monitor to the DVI-I connector. Hint: the default boot display setting in the
BIOS Setup is DVI.
Supply power to your system. Enter the BIOS Setup and choose the option 'LVDS' at menu
'Advanced/Display Configuration/Digital Display Port 0' and in addition set the desired display
resolution at 'LVDS Flat Panel Type'.
If you still do not see improvement consider contacting the dealer for technical support.

KTD-S0031-E Page 30 Crisis Management
15 Crisis Management
If the board is not booting up there are two options to fix this.
15.1 Wrong BIOS Settings

Modifying parameters in the BIOS Setup implies the risk of leaving your system in a unbootable state. In
case this happens one jumper exists to reset the settings to 'Fail-Safe' values.
Take the following steps:
Power down the system.
Put a jumper on J2402.
Power up the board and enter the BIOS Setup.
Remove the jumper on J2402.
Saving your settings with 'Save Changes and Exit'. The board should be functional now.
15.2 Restore Failed BIOS Update

Take the following steps:
Power down the system.
Copy the BIOS named 'AMIBOOT.ROM' to a USB key formatted as super-floppy and connect
the USB device.
Put a jumper on pin 3 and 5 (pins side by side) to the Front Panel Header (J2401).
Power up the board.
The BIOS bootblock starts the recovery process and loads the new BIOS.
After the programming the BIOS performs a reset. Before the reset is executed the jumper
should be removed.

KTD-S0031-E Page 31 Autostart Function
16 Autostart Function
When the KTA55/pITX should start directly when the power is applied (without a power button signal) the
autostart jumper J2403 must be set.

KTD-S0031-E Page 32 Power and Thermal Management
17 Power and Thermal Management
17.1 Cooling Options

A heat-spreader plate is already mounted. External cooling must be provided to maintain the heat-sprea-
der plate at proper operating temperatures. Under worst case conditions the cooling mechanism must
maintain an ambient air temperature of 60°C or less.
The aluminum slugs and thermal pads on the underside of the heat-spreader plate implement thermal
interfaces between the heat-spreader plate and the major heat generating components on the KTA55/pITX.
The optimum cooling solution varies - depending on the application and environmental conditions.
Attention: After the heat-sink has been mounted it cannot be removed anymore because after the warming up of the board the
thermal-foil between the both components will melt and bond the heat-sink to the heat-spreader plate.
17.2 C-State Control

The AMD® Ontario platform has been implemented the control for dynamically starting and stopping system
clocks and power. The mapping between ACPI defined C-States and AMD® specified C-State actions is not
direct. The actions when entering a C-State can be configured by software. The states are passing through
C0 (full on) to C6 one after another. The C-state ends when a break event occurs (e.g. an IRQ or SMI).

KTD-S0031-E Page 33 Power and Thermal Management
17.3 Fan Interface

If a fan is added use this interface to connect a fan to cool off the CPU. The connector only supports 5V
fans. A three pin fan includes a pulse output (sense) which allows the control of fan speed.

A.2 Memory Area

The first 640 kB of DRAM are used as main memory. DOS can address 1 MB of memory directly. Memory area
above 1 MB (high memory, extended memory) is accessed under DOS via special drivers such as HIMEM.SYS.
Other operating systems (Linux or Windows® versions) allow you to address the full memory area directly.
Memory Range Used for Available Comment

C0000h - CFFFFh VGA BIOS No
D0000h - FFFFFh System BIOS No
A.3 I/O Address Map

The I/O port addresses of the KTA55/pITX are functionally identical to a standard PC/AT. All addresses not
mentioned in this table should be available. We recommend that you do not use I/O addresses below 0100h
with additional hardware for compatibility reasons even though they are available.
