Intel Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad Platform

The Kontron KTQ45/ATXE uses the LGA775 processor socket and supports selected Intel Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad processors from the Wolfdale and Yorkfield families. Supported front-side bus speeds include 800, 1066 and 1333 MHz.

Representative supported processors include the Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 and E8400 and Core 2 Quad Q9400. Processor compatibility should be verified against the specific BIOS revision when servicing an existing industrial system.

DDR3 Memory

Four 240-pin DIMM sockets provide dual-channel DDR3 memory support. The platform supports DDR3-800 and DDR3-1066 memory. ECC memory is not supported.

PCI Express and Legacy PCI Expansion

The KTQ45/ATXE provides one PCI Express x16 Gen2 slot for high-bandwidth expansion together with one PCI Express x4 electrical interface using an x16 mechanical connector.

Four conventional PCI slots provide compatibility with legacy industrial expansion cards. This combination makes the KTQ45/ATXE particularly useful for systems that require newer PCI Express devices while retaining specialized PCI data acquisition, communications, machine-control or other proprietary cards.

Intel GMA 4500 Graphics

The Intel Q45 chipset incorporates Intel GMA 4500 graphics with analog CRT output supporting resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 at 75 Hz. Digital display options including DVI, LVDS and HDMI can be provided through compatible SDVO/ADD2 expansion hardware.

Dual Intel Gigabit Ethernet

Two Intel Gigabit Ethernet interfaces provide network connectivity for industrial and embedded applications. One Ethernet interface supports Intel Active Management Technology 5.0, providing remote management capabilities in compatible system configurations.

SATA Storage and RAID

Five SATA 150/300 interfaces provide storage connectivity with RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5 and RAID 10 support. This allows the board to support both conventional industrial storage configurations and applications requiring drive redundancy.

Industrial Serial and Legacy I/O

The KTQ45/ATXE provides three RS-232 serial interfaces together with one RS-485 interface. Additional connectivity includes twelve USB 2.0 ports, a configurable parallel interface, PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectivity and 7.1-channel High Definition Audio.

Industrial Applications

The Kontron KTQ45/ATXE is suitable for industrial automation, machine control, manufacturing equipment, test and measurement systems, industrial imaging, data acquisition, medical equipment and other long-life embedded systems requiring PCI Express together with legacy PCI expansion.

KTQ45/ATXE vs. KTQ45/FLEX

The KTQ45/ATXE should not be confused with the KTQ45/FLEX. The ATXE version uses the larger Embedded-ATX form factor and provides four PCI slots, three RS-232 interfaces and one RS-485 interface. The KTQ45/FLEX provides two PCI slots and two RS-232 interfaces without the ATXE's dedicated RS-485 interface.

Replacement Considerations

When replacing a Kontron KTQ45/ATXE 810340-4500, verify the complete part number, hardware revision, processor, DDR3 memory, BIOS version, installed PCI/PCI Express cards and serial-interface requirements.

For validated industrial systems, matching the original motherboard configuration and BIOS environment is recommended, particularly where specialized PCI expansion cards or legacy operating systems are used.

Replacement, Repair and Availability

Embedded CPU Boards supports the Kontron KTQ45/ATXE 810340-4500 for sourcing, replacement, repair, testing and legacy-system lifecycle support. Availability may include new-old-stock, surplus, refurbished or professionally tested units depending on current inventory.
