Express-CFR 4.6. Switch Settings Switch Locations BIOS Select and Mode Configuration Switch PCI Express Configuration Switch Figure 5: Express-CFR Switch Locations 4.6.1. PCI Express Configuration Switch. PCI Express Configuration Switch (also referred to as the PEG config. switch) allows you to configure the PCI Express x16 lanes from the CPU as 1 PCIe x16, 2 PCIe x8, or 1 PCIe x8 + 2 PCIe x4.
4.6.2. BIOS Select and Mode Configuration Switch The module has two BIOS chips and BIOS operation can be configured to "PICMG" and dual-BIOS "Failsafe" modes using BIOS Select and Mode Configuration Switch, Pin 2. Setting the module to PICMG mode will configure the BIOS chips on the module as SPI0 and SPI1. In PICMG mode, a BIOS chip cannot be placed in the SPI0 slot on the carrier.
Express-CFR 4.7. PCIe x16-to-two-x8 Adapter Card The Express-CFR can be used with the PCIe x16-to-two-x8 Adapter Card on the Express-BASE6 Reference Carrier to support bifurbication of the CPU's PEG interface (PCIe x16). The card reroutes the PCIe x16 to two x8 and allows testing of two independent PCIe add-on cards with x8/x4/x2/x1 width.

9.2. Thermal Solution This section presents general thermal solution information for COM Express modules for your reference. Photos and details may vary depending on the specific module. 9.2.1. Heat Spreaders The function of the heat spreader is to ensure an identical mechanical profile for all COM Express modules. By using a heat spreader, the thermal solution that is built on top of the module is compatible with all COM Express modules.
Page 103
Express-CFR Step 3: Assemble the heatsink onto the COM Express module. Use the three M2.5, L=6mm screws provided to fasten the heatsink to the module. Note: The Express-CFR uses three screws to attach the heatsink to the COM Express module. Step 4: Place the COM Express module and heatsink assembly onto the connectors on the carrier board as shown.
