Built with these functions, FlexATX-KBL-S Mother Board is ideal for Automated Teller Machines (ATM), Automation, multi-media, gaming, Kiosk, medical equipment, industrial automation, financial automation, process control, semiconductor equipment and network security markets.

Installation procedure

Packing Check List

The FlexATX-KBL-S package includes the following basic items accompany with this manual.

  • One main board
  • One IO shield

If any of these items are damaged or missed, please contact your vendor and save all packing materials for future replacement and maintenance. Note: The above packing list is for standard single box packing only.

Installing the Board

ESD Sensitive Device!

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry.

  • Wear ESD-protective clothing and shoes
  • Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap attached to a good earth ground
  • Check the resistance value of the wrist strap periodically (OK: 1 MΩ to 10 MΩ)
  • Transport and store the board in its antistatic bag
  • Handle the board at an approved ESD workstation
  • Handle the board only by the edges

To get the board running follow these steps. If the board shipped from Kontron has already components like RAM and CPU cooler mounted, then the next steps below can be skipped.

Only connect to a power supply delivering the specified input rating and complying with the       requirements of Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) and Limited Power Source (L.P.S.) of IEC 60950-1 and the Energy sources (ES1) of IEC 62368-1.

  1. Turn off the PSU (Power Supply Unit)

      Turn off PSU 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 to use +12V single supply only. Alternatively use a standard ATX PSU with suitable cable kit and PS_ON# active.

  1. Insert the DDR4 SO-DIMM 260 pin module(s) Be careful to push it in the slot(s) before locking the tabs. For a list of approved SO-DIMMs contact your Distributor or FAE. See also chapter “System Memory Support”. Use SO-DIMM with the same memory density in both sockets.
  2. Cooler Installation: The FlexATX-KBL-S comes with a passive heatsink pre-installed and a separate fan, which can be mounted onto the heatsink, should the system require additional airflow. Connect Cooler Fan electrically to the FANCPU connector.
  3. Connecting Interfaces:  Insert all external cables for hard disk, keyboard etc. A monitor must be connected in order to change BIOS settings.
  4. Connect and turn on PSU: Connect PSU to the board by the ATX-24-pin connector.
  5. Power Button: If the board does not start by itself when switching on the ATX/DC PSU AC mains, then follow these instructions to start the board.
  6. BIOS Setup: Enter the BIOS setup by pressing the <F2> key during boot up. Enter “Exit Menu” and Load Setup Defaults.

To clear all BIOS settings, including Password protection, activate “Load Default BIOS Settings” Jumper for > 10 sec (without power connected).

  1. Mounting the board in the chassis

      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.

When fixing the Motherboard on a chassis it is recommended to use screws with integrated washer and a diameter of > 7 mm. Do not use washers with teeth, as they can damage the PCB and cause short circuits.

      Recommended Power Supply for KabyLake motherboard should be above or equal to 473 W.

      1T44B   he ATX 12V specification does not clearly state a requirement for the ramp-up of the 5VSB standby voltage. However, we strongly recommend to use only PSUs where the 5VSB ramp up follows the same rules as listed for +5VDC. 1T45B   his should ensure that the board behaves properly, in particular when powering up without or with a weak/empty battery.

Requirements IEC60950-1

Take care when designing chassis interface connectors in order to fulfil the IEC60950-1 standard.

Users of FlexATX-KBL-S must evaluate the end product to ensure compliance the requirements of the IEC60950-1 safety standard are met:

  • The motherboard must be installed in a suitable mechanical, electrical and fire enclosure.
  • The system in its enclosure must be evaluated for temperature and air flow considerations.
  • The motherboard must be powered by a CSA or UL approved power supply that limits the maximum input current to 10 A via 24-pin ATX connector.
  • For interfaces having a power pin such as external power or fan, ensure that the connectors and wires are suitably rated. All connections from or to the product shall be with Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) circuits only.
  • Wires have suitable rating to withstand the maximum available power.
  • The enclosure of the peripheral device fulfills the fire protecting requirements of IEC60950-1.

      If any of the supply voltages drops below the allowed operating level longer than the specified hold-up time, all the supply voltages should be shut down and left OFF for a time long enough to allow the internal board voltages to discharge sufficiently.

If the OFF time is not observed, parts of the board or attached peripherals may work incorrectly or even suffer a reduction of MTBF. The minimum OFF time depends on the implemented PSU model and other electrical factors and needs to be measured individually for each case.
