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.
iQ7-BT Qseven 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 iQ7-BT is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the antistatic guidelines above.
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards when opening.
Make sure all the packing list items are present.

3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the iQ7-BT
may result in permanent damage to the iQ7-BT and severe injury to the
user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the iQ7-BT. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical
that whenever the iQ7-BT 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
iQ7-BT Qseven 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 iQ7-BT, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the iQ7-BT.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
3.2 Installation Considerations
NOTE:
The following installation notices and installation considerations should
be read and understood before installation. All installation notices must
be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead
Page 14
to severe damage and injury to the person performing the installation.
Page 23

iQ7-BT Qseven 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 iQ7-BT
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 iQ7-BT 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 iQ7-BT off:
o When working with the iQ7-BT, 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 iQ7-BT 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.

3.4 Mounting iQ7-BT to Baseboard
iQ7-BT Qseven Module
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 Qseven module without the heatsink and a thermal pad.
The thermal pad acts as a thermal interface between the module and
the heatsink. The heatsink must be installed on the iQ7-BT to maintain
proper operating temperatures. Make sure to maintain the heatsink
temperature under 60C (or 85C for W2 models) in operation.
