1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: NANO-QM871-i1
The NANO-QM871-i1 is an EPIC SBC with a 4
or Celeron® processor and Intel® QM87 Express Chipset. Storage on the board is
handled by two SATA 6Gb/s ports and one PCIe Mini socket for connecting a hard drive,
NANO-QM871-i1 EPIC SBC
th
generation Intel® mobile Core™ i7/i5/i3
optical drive or SSD.
The NANO-QM871-i1 features Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) that
helps lower the overall costs of server management by enabling users to maximize IT
resource, save time and manage multiple systems. The NANO-QM871-i1 supports
IPMI 2.0 through the optional iRIS-1010 module.
The NANO-QM871-i1 has three types of graphics outputs that support triple independent
display. A VGA output connects to a VGA monitor. One LVDS connector supports
18/24-bit dual-channel display. Two HDMI connectors support up to 1920x1200 resolution.
Other connectors include RS-232 ports, RS-422/485 port, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0 ports,
USB 2.0 ports, TPM, SMBus and digital I/O.

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.
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-QM871-i1 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-QM871-i1. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical to strictly adhere to the following anti-static precautions whenever the
NANO-QM871-i1, 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.
NANO-QM871-i1 EPIC SBC
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-QM871-i1, place it on
an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
NANO-QM871-i1.
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-QM871-i1 is installed. All
installation notices pertaining to the installation of NANO-QM871-i1
Page 46
should be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions
may lead to severe damage of the NANO-QM871-i1 and injury to the
person installing the motherboard.
Page 60
NANO-QM871-i1 EPIC SBC
WARNING:
The installation instructions described in this manual should be
carefully followed in order to prevent damage to the NANO-QM871-i1,
NANO-QM871-i1 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-QM871-i1 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.

4.3 Cooling Kit Installation
An IEI CPU cooling kit can be purchased separately (See Chapter 2). The cooling kit is
comprised of a CPU heat sink and a cooling fan.
WARNING:
Do not wipe off (accidentally or otherwise) the pre-sprayed layer of
thermal paste on the bottom of the heat sink. The thermal paste
between the CPU and the heat sink is important for optimum heat
dissipation.
To install the cooling kit, please follow the steps below.
NANO-QM871-i1 EPIC SBC
Step 1: Install the support bracket. Remove the tape from the support bracket. From
the solder side of the board, align the support bracket to the holes on board and
stick in place.
Figure 4-1: Install Support Bracket
Page 48
Page 62
NANO-QM871-i1 EPIC SBC
Step 2: Properly orient the cooling kit. The CPU fan cabl e must not interfere with the
fan or other moving parts. Make sure the cable can be routed away from the
moving parts.
Step 3: Properly align the cooling kit. Line up the four screws with the screw holes on
the support bracket below the board (
Figure 4-2: Align the Cooling Kit
Step 4: Place the cooling kit onto the CPU. Push down the fan with some pressure to
Figure 4-2).
secure the cooling kit with the support bracket. See
Step 5: Tighten the screws. Use a screwdriver to tighten the four screws. In a diagonal
pattern, tighten each screw a few turns then move to the next one, until they are
all secured. Do not overtighten the screws. See
Step 6: Connect the fan cable. Connect the cooling kit fan cable to the fan connector
on the board. Carefully route the cable away from heat generating chips and fan
blades. Step 0:
