1.1 Introduction

Figure 1-1: NANO-QM770
The NANO-QM770 is an EPIC SBC with a 3
NANO-QM770 EPIC SBC
rd
generation 22nm Intel® mobile CPU and Intel® QM77 Express Chipset. Storage on the board is handled by the SATA 6Gb/s ports for connecting a hard drive, optical drive or SSD. The PCIe Mini slot allows an mSATA card to be installed.
The board has three types of graphics outputs. A DVI-I output connects to a DVI monitor or a traditional VGA monitor. One LVDS connector supports 24-bit dual-channel display and two HDMI connectors support HDMI 1080p display.
Other slots and connectors include RS-232, RS-422/485, gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0 ports, USB 2.0 ports and digital I/O.

1.2 Benefits

Some of the NANO-QM770 motherboard benefits include:
Low power consumption  Wide range of I/O interfaces  Triple independent display support

1.3 Features

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.
NANO-QM770 EPIC SBC
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 NANO-QM770 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 installation may result in permanent damage to the product and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the NANO-QM770. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical to strictly adhere to the following anti-static precautions whenever the NANO-QM770, or any other electrical component, is handled.
Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
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 NANO-QM770, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the NANO-QM770.
Only handle the edges of the PCB:-: When handling the PCB, hold it by the
edges.

4.2 Installation Considerations

NOTE:
The following installation notices and installation considerations should be read and understood before the NANO-QM770 is installed. All installation notices pertaining to the installation of NANO-QM770 should be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead to severe damage of the NANO-QM770 and injury to the person installing the motherboard.

The installation instructions described in this manual should be carefully followed in order to prevent damage to the NANO-QM770, NANO-QM770 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 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 on an antistatic pa d:
o When installing or configuring the motherboard, place it on an antistatic
pad. This helps to prevent potential ESD damage.
Turn all power off:
o Make sure the product is disconnected from all power supplies and that
no electricity is being fed into the system.
Before and during the installation of the NANO-QM770 DO NOT:
DO NOT remove any of the stickers on the PCB board. These stickers are
required for warranty validation.
DO NOT use the product before verifying all the cables and power connectors
are properly connected.
DO NOT allow screws to come in contact with the PCB circuit, co nnector pins,
or its components.
