You must supply appropriate network cables to utilize the LAN connector or any other installed
network cards.
Power Supply: The Mobile Intel
two different power sources: an ATX power supply, or 'Mobile Brick'. The Mobile Intel
Express Chipset contains all of the voltage regulators necessary to power the system.
There are two main supported power supply configurations, Desktop and Mobile. The Desktop
solution consists of only using the ATX power supply. The Mobile solution consists of only using
the AC Brick.
Note: Desktop peripherals, including add-in cards, will not work in mobile power mode. If desktop
peripherals are used, the platform must be powered using desktop power mode. The AC Brick
power supply configuration does not provide the 12 V supply required by most desktop
peripherals.
Note: Use an "ATX12V" 1.1 Spec compliant power supply regardless of vendor or wattage level (an
"ATX12V" rating means V5 min current =0.1 A, "ATX" V5 min current = 1.0 A, among other
differences). For example, the Sparkle Model No. FSP250-60BT meets this requirement and is an
ATX12V 1.1 Spec compliant power supply. For more information, see http://www.formfactors.org.
Note: If the power button on the ATX power supply is used to shut down the system, wait at least five
seconds before turning the system on again to avoid damaging the system.
Other Devices and Adapters: The evaluation board functions much like a standard desktop
computer motherboard. Most PC-compatible peripherals can be attached and configured to work
with the evaluation board.

Note: To locate items discussed in the procedure below, please refer to
1. Create a safe work environment.
Ensure a static-free work environment before removing any components from their anti-static
packaging. The evaluation board is susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, and
such damage may cause product failure or unpredictable operation.
Caution: Because of this susceptibility, it is recommended that an ESD wrist strap be used when handling
the board.
2. Inspect the contents of your kit.
Check for damage that may have occurred during shipment. Contact your sales representative
if any items are missing or damaged.
Caution: Since the board is not in a protective chassis, use caution when connecting cables to this
product.
