Warning: If changing the premounted cooling system, then the system might get overheated
! resulting in instable system or defects if the cooling system is sufficient.

Use of this Users Guide implies a basic knowledge of PC-AT hard- and software. This manual is focused on
describing the E38 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 exceptions are the “Clear CMOS” Jumper and the “Always On” jumper.

Latest revision of this manual, datasheet, BIOS, drivers, BSP’s (Board Support Packages), Mechanical
drawings are available on Kontron’s Customer Section.

KTD-N0903-G Page 12 Installation Procedure

2 Installation Procedure

2.1 Installing the Board

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)

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

2. Insert the DDR3L SODIMM module

For a list of approved DDR3 DIMMs contact your Distributor or FAE. See also chapter “System Memory
Support”.

3. Cooler Installation
Normally the cooler is premounted, but in case not, then make sure the heat paste etc. on the cooler is
intact and covers the full area of the SOC. Connect Cooler Fan electrically to the FAN_CPU 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 Int12V connector or the Ext12V connector. Please note that current
limitations apply, see relevant connector description.

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. Please note
that BIOS may boot in UEFI shell, if so then type exit to activate BIOS menu and select Set-up.

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

8. Mounting the board in chassis

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.

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

2.2 Requirements IEC60950

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

When an interface or connector has a VCC (or other power) pin which is directly connected to a power plane
like the VCC plane:
To protect the external power lines of the peripheral devices the customer has to ensure:
• Wires have suitable rating to withstand the maximum available power.
• That the enclosure of the peripheral device fulfils the fire protecting requirements of IEC60950.

*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

Kontron offers the following memory modules having extended temperature range -40⁰C to 85⁰C, even
though mITX-E38 only supports 0⁰C to 60⁰C:
NEW SKU 04/2016* SKU Name** OLD SKU before 04/2016
1060-2526 DDR3-1600 SODIMM 1GB E2 1055-9445

Note: Kontron has succesfully tested mITX-E38 in range -25⁰C to 75⁰C, but only 0⁰C to 60⁰C is guaranteed.

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.

6.1 DC Power Jack Connector (Ext12V – J35)

Either the DC Power Jack Connector (Ext12V) or the “Int12V.” connector must be used to supply the board
with +12V +/-5%.

The Ext12V power connector has Vin to the center pin and mates with Ø 6.3 mm DC Power jack with Ø 2.0
mm pin hole. (DC Connector RA 2mm locking type). Maximum allowed current is 5A.

Warning: Hot Plugging power supply is not supported. Hot plugging might damage the board.

The board can be supplied via the AC/DC adapter plugged into the power jack. Such adapters
have usually no connection to protective earth. Consequently, the potential of the
conductive parts on the board may drift. If a human touches such a part, this may lead to an
electric shock. The board must be grounded separately, if the unit is supplied via power jack.

Notes: Windows API will be available to operate the BKLTCTL signal. Some Inverters have a limited voltage
range 0- 2.5V for this signal: If voltage is > 2.5V the Inverter might latch up. Some Inverters
generates noise on the BKLTCTL signal, causing the LVDS transmission to fail (corrupted picture on
the display). By adding a 1Kohm resistor in series with this signal, mounted at the Inverter end of
the cable kit, the noise is limited and the picture is stable.
If the Backlight Enable is required to be active high then, check the following BIOS Chipset setting:
Backlight Signal Inversion = Enabled.

7.14 SPI Connector (SPI – J16)

The mITX-E38 provides one synchronous full duplex SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) Bus in a 10 pin header
connector. The connector is type Pinrex 512-90-10GBE5 or similar.

Two things should be considered:

1. An onboard SPITM flash coexists on the same interface lines. You must disable this component with a
3.3V power connection to the ADDIN signal (e.g. a short circuit jumper between pin 2 and 4).

2. The four SPITM lines are protected with an additional bus driver and the ISOLATE# signal controls the
output enable pin. For normal operation this signal should be high.
