ICE-QM871 COM Express Module
The ICE-QM871 COM Express Type 6 module provides the main processing chips and is
connected to a compatible COM Express baseboard. The ICE-QM871 is equipped with
the Intel® QM87 Express Chipset and the 4th generation Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 or
Celeron® processor. The COM Express standard allows the COM Express baseboard to
be designed, while leaving the choice of processor till the later stages of design. The
ICE-QM871 provides a low power option with the full range of modern I/O options. The
ICE-QM871 embedded module is designed for flexible integration by system developers
into customized platform devices.
1.2 Features
Some of the ICE-QM871 COM Express module features are listed below:

2.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING!
Static electricity can destroy certain electronics. Make sure to follow the
ESD precautions to prevent damage to the product, and injury to the
user.
Make sure to adhere to the following guidelines:
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing an anti-static wristband can prevent
electrostatic discharge.
Self-grounding: Touch a grounded conductor every few minutes to discharge
any excess static buildup.
ICE-QM871 COM Express Module
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring any circuit board, place it on an
anti-static mat.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: Don't touch the surface of the
motherboard. Hold the motherboard by the edges when handling.
2.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the ICE-QM871 is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the antistatic guidelines above.
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards whe n opening.
Make sure all the packing list items are present.

4.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
ICE-QM871 may result in permanent damage to the ICE-QM871 and
severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the ICE-QM871. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the ICE-QM871 or any other electrical component is handled, the
following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
ICE-QM871 COM Express Module
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding:- Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the ICE-QM871, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
ICE-QM871.
Only handle the edges of the PCB:-: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
4.2 Installation Considerations
NOTE:
The following installation notices and installation considerations should
be read and understood before installation. All installation notices must
Page 28
be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead
to severe damage and injury to the person performing the installation.
ICE-QM871 COM Express Module
WARNING:
The installation instructions described in this manual should be
carefully followed in order to prevent damage to the components and
injury to the user.
Before and during the installation please DO the following:
Read the user manual:
o The user manual provides a complete description of the ICE-QM871
installation instructions and configuration options.
Wear an electrostatic discharge cuff (ESD):
o Electronic components are easily damaged by ESD. Wearing an ESD cuff
removes ESD from the body and helps prevent ESD damage.
Place the ICE-QM871 on an antistatic pad:
o When installing or configuring the motherboard, place it on an antistatic
pad. This helps to prevent potential ESD damage.
Turn all power to the ICE-QM871 off:
o When working with the ICE-QM871, make sure that it is disconnected
from all power supplies and that no electricity is being fed into the system.
Before and during the installation of the ICE-QM871 DO NOT:
Remove any of the stickers on the PCB board. These stickers are required for
warranty validation.
Use the product before verifying all the cables and power connectors are
properly connected.
Allow screws to come in contact with the PCB circuit, connector pins, or its
components.
Page 29
4.3 SO-DIMM Installation
WARNING:
Using incorrectly specified SO-DIMM may cause permanent damage to
the ICE-QM871. Please make sure the purchased SO-DIMM complies
with the memory specifications of the ICE-QM871. SO-DIMM
specifications compliant with the ICE-QM871 are listed in Chapter 1.
To install a SO-DIMM into a SO-DIMM socket, please follow the steps below and refer to
Figure 4-1.
ICE-QM871 COM Express Module
Figure 4-1: SO-DIMM Installation
Step 1: Locate the SO-DIMM socket. Place the ICE-QM871 on an anti-static pad with
the solder side facing up.
Step 2: Align the SO-DIMM with the socket. The SO-DIMM must be oriented in such a
way that the notch in the middle of the SO-DIMM must be aligned with the
plastic bridge in the socket.
Step 3: Insert the SO-DIMM. Push the SO-DIMM chip into the socket at an angle. (See
Figure 4-1)
Step 4: Open the SO-DIMM socket arms. Gently pull the arms of the SO-DIMM socket
out and push the rear of the SO-DIMM down. (See
Figure 4-1)
Page 30
ICE-QM871 COM Express Module
Step 5: Secure the SO-DIMM. Release the arms on the SO-DIMM socket. They clip into
place and secure the SO-DIMM in the socket.

4.5 Mounting the ICE-QM871 to an Optional Baseboard
NOTE:
Baseboard can be designed by the end user, customized by IEI, or
purchased from IEI. For more information visit the IEI website
(
www.ieiworld.com) or contact an IEI sales representative.
WARNING:
Never run the COM Express module without the cooling kit. The
heatspreader plate shipped with the ICE-QM871 acts as a thermal
interface between the module and the cooling kit. The cooling kit must
be installed on the heatspreader plate to maintain proper operating
temperatures. Make sure to maintain the heatspreader plate
temperature under 60°C in operation.
Follow the steps below to install the ICE-QM871 to the optional baseboard.
Step 1: Align the two COM Express connectors on the reverse side of ICE-QM871 with
Page 32
the corresponding connectors on the baseboard. Gently push the COM Express
module down to ensure the connectors are properly connected (
Figure 4-3).
ICE-QM871 COM Express Module
Figure 4-3: Connect the COM Express Connectors
Step 2: Place the supplied cooling kit on the heatspreader plate, aligning the retention
screw holes (
heatspreader plate for optimum heat dissipation.
Figure 4-4). Ensure to apply thermal paste to the heat sink or
Figure 4-4: Attach the Cooling Kit to the Heatspreader Plate
