4. Safety Instructions CB 753 – User’s Guide (Version 1.00)
4. Safety Instructions
Please consider the included “General Safety Instructions for IT Equipment”.
A sudden discharge of electrostatic electricity can destroy static-sensitive devices or micro-circuitry. Proper packaging
and grounding techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage. Always take the following precautions:
1. Transport boards in static-safe containers such as boxes or bags.
2. Keep electrostatic sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at the ESD-safe workplace.
3. Always be properly grounded when touching a sensitive board, component, or assembly.
4. Store electrostatic-sensitive boards in protective packaging or on antistatic mats.
Caution
Danger of explosion when replacing with wrong type of battery. Replace only with the same or equivalent
type recommended by the manufacturer. The lithium battery type must be UL recognized.
Do not dispose of lithium batteries in general trash collection. Dispose of the battery according to the
local regulations dealing with the disposal of these special materials, (e.g. to the collecting points for
dispose of batteries).

6. Product Description CB 753 – User’s Guide (Version 1.00)
6. Product Description
The CB 753 platform expands the Kontron “CB Series” computer line. The CB 753 platform is equipped with a
KTGM45/mITX motherboard (2.66GHz). The hardware system configuration and the robust construction with excellent
mechanical stability of the CB 753 platform offer the superior qualities of a computer designed for operation in harsh
industrial environment. The ordered CB 753 can be configured with up two internal 2.5" SATA (HDD or SSD) and/or a
CompactFlash™ card type I or II (see chapter 6.5 “Storage Media“).
The CB 753 is a fanless system with a compact aluminum chassis with cooling fins. The rated voltage range of the mains
can be found on the type label. The type label is located at the bottom side of the device. Optionally, the platform can be
equipped with WLAN (via a mini PCIe card), a DVI-D interface (via an ADD2-DVI-Dual PCIe card) a PCI card (32 Bit, half
size) and three additional serial interfaces, COM2, COM3 and COM4.
For the extension option of the CB 753 platform please refer to the “Configuration Guides - CB-Series” on the web site
www.kontron.com.

6. Product Description CB 753 – User’s Guide (Version 1.00)
The device can be operated in all positions except with the upper side facing down.
When power on the CB 753, make sure that the air openings on the front side (Fig. 9, pos. 1) and the rear
side (Fig. 10, pos. 1) and the cooling fins of the chassis are not obstructed (covered) by any objects. To
provide sufficient heat dissipation for the cooling of the device, do not cover the cooling fins of the
CB 753. Do not place any objects on the device.
Power Press this button (Fig. 9, pos. 2) to power the system on or off.
Button
Please observe the settings: BIOS Setup / Chipset / South Bridge Configuration / “Restore on AC Power
Loss” with the setup options Power On/ Power Off/Last State.
The system is delivered with the default setting “Power On”.
Power LED The power ring LED (Fig. 9, pos. 3) is integrated into the power button and lights blue up when the
(blue) system is powered on by pressing the power button.
Prerequisite:
The CB 753 has to be connected to an appropriate main power source (AC via AC/DC adapter or DC).
HDD LED This LED (Fig. 9, pos. 4) lights up during HDD or CF activity.
(orange)
Even when the CB 753 platform is turned off via the power button there is still a standby-voltage of
5 VSb on the motherboard.
For DC power connection:
The DC power source should be able to be switched off and on via an isolating switch. This serves as
disconnect device and must be easily accessible.
For AC power connection via external AC/DC adapter:
The main power cable of the optional external AC/DC adapter serves as disconnect device. The unit is
complete disconnected from the main power source, only when the power cord is disconnected either
from the main power source or from the unit. For this reason the outlet of the AC power source must be
located near to the device and be easily accessible.

8. Starting Up CB 753 – User’s Guide (Version 1.00)
8. Starting Up
The rated voltage range of the mains power source must agree with the voltage range value on the type
label.
The CB 753-A can be connected via the provided DC power cord to a DC main power source (refer to
Fig. 26) as well as to an AC main power source (refer to Fig. 28) using the optional external AC/DC adapter.
It is allowed to connect the CB 753-B to an AC main power source (refer to Fig. 28) only by use of the
optional external AC/DC adapter.
It is not allowed to connect the CB 753-B via a DC power cord to a DC main power source (refer to Fig. 27).
Even when the CB 753 platform is turned off via the power button (Fig. 9, pos. 2) there is still a standby-
voltage of 5VSb on the motherboard.
For DC power connection:
The DC power source should be able to be switched off and on via an isolating switch. This serves as
disconnect device and must be easily accessible.
For AC power connection via external AC/DC adapter:
The main power cable of the optional external AC/DC adapter serves as disconnect device. The unit is
complete disconnected from the main power source, only when the power cord is disconnected either from
the main power source or from the unit. For this reason the outlet of the AC power source must be located

8. Starting Up CB 753 – User’s Guide (Version 1.00)
To connect the CB 753-A platform to a corresponding DC main power source, please perform the following steps:
1. Connect the 4-pin connector of the DC power cord to the DC input connector of the CB 753-A platform an. The DC input
connector of the CB 753-A platform is located on the front side and is marked "DC Power".
2. The DC main power source must be switched off via a 2-pole disconnect device to make sure that no voltage is present
at the terminals during the connecting procedure.
3. Connect the other end of the DC power cord to the connections of the 24V DC main power source. Pay attention to the
polarity of the connections. The wires (positive and negative) of the DC power cord are marked plus (+) and minus (-)
signs (refer to Fig. 19).
It must be ensured that the CB 753-A platform can be powered ON and OFF via a readily accessible
two-pole disconnect device that shall be incorporated in the building installation wiring. This
serves as disconnect device and must be easily accessible.
It is allowed to connect the CB 753-B platform to an AC main power source only via the optional external
AC/DC adapter. The AC/DC adapter must be placed freely and must not be covered.
The plug on AC power cord supplied corresponds to the requirements of the country in which you
purchased your system. Make sure that the AC power cord is suitable for the country where the device is to
be used.
The AC power cord is the disconnecting device. For this reason, the outlet of the power source must always
be mounted close to the system and be easily accessible.

to mount the CB 753 platform in the required mounting position (which interface side should be
downward/upward mounted).
Fig. 29: Left/right mounting bracket (optional) Fig. 30: Right/left mounting bracket (optional)
Please follow these steps to attach the mounting brackets to the bottom side of the CB 753:
1. Turn your system off and disconnect it from the mains supply.
2. Turn the platform upside down onto a clean flat work surface. Protect the unit against scratching.
3. Loosen the screws (Fig. 18, pos. 3) and retain them for later use.
4. Depending on your mounting requirements (with the interface side upwards or downwards) you have to attach the
mounting brackets correspondingly.
5. Position the mounting brackets to the corresponding side and align the mounting points. Use the retained screws
(step 3) and tighten them in order to secure the bracket to each side of the CB 753 platform (refer to Fig. 31).
