Only handle the edges of the PCB: Don't touch the surface of the motherboard. Hold the motherboard by the edges when handling. 2.2 Unpacking Precautions When the iQ7-BT is unpacked, please do the following: Follow the antistatic guidelines above. Make sure the packing box is facing upwards when opening.
If any of the components listed in the checklist below are missing, do not proceed with the installation. Contact the IEI reseller or vendor the iQ7-BT was purchased from or contact an IEI sales representative directly by sending an email to ales@ieiworld.com.
Qseven Module 2.4 Optional Items The following are optional components which may be separately purchased: Item and Part Number Image Baseboard for Qseven modules (P/N: iQ7-DB-MATX) Table 2-2: Optional Items Page 12...
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the iQ7-BT. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the iQ7-BT or any other electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Page 23
Turn all power to the iQ7-BT off: When working with the iQ7-BT, make sure that it is disconnected from all power supplies and that no electricity is being fed into the system. Before and during the installation of the iQ7-BT DO NOT: Remove any of the stickers on the PCB board.
Never run the Qseven module without the heatsink and a thermal pad. The thermal pad acts as a thermal interface between the module and the heatsink. The heatsink must be installed on the iQ7-BT to maintain proper operating temperatures. Make sure to maintain the heatsink temperature under 60C (or 85C for W2 models) in operation.
Follow the steps below to install the iQ7-BT to the optional baseboard. Align the Qseven connector on the edge of the iQ7-BT with the corresponding Step 1: socket on the baseboard. Slide the iQ7-BT into the socket at an angle of about 20º. (Figure 3-2). Figure 3-2: Connect the Qseven Connectors Ensure a thermal pad is placed on the CPU of the iQ7-BT.
