5 Embedded Functions All embedded board functions on ADLINK’s Computer on Modules are supported at the operating system level using the ADLINK Intelligent Device Interface (AIDI) library. The AIDI API programming interface is compatible and identical across all supported ADLINK Computer on Modules and all supported operating systems.
5.2 Hardware Monitoring To ensure system health of your embedded system ADLINK’s Computer on Modules come with built in support for monitoring of CPU temperatures and critical module voltage levels. The AIDI Library provides simple APIs at the application level to support these functions and adds alarm functions when voltage or temperature levels exceeds the upper or lower limit set by the user.

Appendix A: Connectors and Mounting A.1 Carrier Board ETX Connecter Heights (Hirose FX8/FX8C Receptacles) For different stacking heights, the receptacles for ETX carrier boards are available in two heights, 3 mm and 9.5 mm. When 3 mm receptacles are chosen, the carrier board should be free of components.
A.3 Mounting Procedures There are several standard ways to mount an ETX board with heatspreader on a carrier board. ETX boards may be mounted with 9.5 mm ETX connectors on the carrier board or standard 3 mm connectors. There are also two different types of heatspreaders to choose from: heatspreaders with threaded standoffs which require inserting screws from under the carrier, or top mounting heatspreaders using through-hole heatspreader standoffs and threaded carrier board standoffs.
A.4 Standoff Types - Carrier Board For different mounting procedures there are different standoffs available for the carrier board. Note that threaded standoffs are both DIP and SMT type and the through-hole types are all SMT type. Other types not listed can be made available upon request. 33-72000-0030 3 mm through-hole standoff (SMT type) for HTS-EAT-B with 3 mm Hirose carrier...
