2 First Steps

This chapter provides instructions for getting the RK3399-Q7 EVK running after opening the box.

2.1 Required Tools

• PZ1 (Pozidriv) screwdriver

2.2 Insert the Module

Insert the RK3399-Q7 module at a 30-degree angle into the connector in the base board. Once fully inserted ,
push it down until it rests on the standoffs and check alignment of the mounting holes.
Note: The module springs back into the 30-degree angle once released. This is expected, and alignment will
be kept. The module will be secured into place together with the heatsink.
