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.

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.
