Overview Thank you for choosing the MS-98H2, an excellent Qseven R 2.0 CPU Module Board. Integrating core CPU and memory functionality, it is the entry-level model for applications looking to transition from other small form factor solutions to Qseven and offers full PCI Express, USB, SATA, audio, graphics and network support.
Hardware Setup This chapter provides you with the information about hardware setup procedures. While doing the installation, be careful in holding the components and follow the installation procedures. For some components, if you install in the wrong orientation, the components will not work properly.
Hardware Setup Edge Fingers On the top and bottom side of the Qseven Module Board are 115 edge fingers that mate with the MXM connector. The following table lists the pin assignments for all 230 edge fingers.
