1.1 Introduction

Figure 1-1: PCIE-Q370
The PCIE-Q370 is a full-size PICMG 1.3 CPU card. It accepts a Socket LGA1151 8 generation Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3, Pentium® or Celeron® processor and supports four 288-pin 2666MHz dual-channel DDR4 DIMM modules up to 64 GB.
The PCIE-Q370 provides two GbE interfaces through the Intel® I219LM (with Intel® AMT
11.0 support) and the Intel® I211AT PCIe controllers. The integrated Intel® Q370 chipset supports six SATA 6Gb/s drives with RAID 0/1/5/10 function.
Two USB 3.1 on the rear panel, two USB 3.1 by internal box header, six USB 2.0 by pin headers, one USB 2.0 by internal Type A connector, three RS-232, one RS-422/485 and one M.2 M-key slot provide flexible expansion options. High Definition Audio (HDA) support ensures HDA devices can be easily implem ented on the PCIE-Q370.

2.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING!
Static electricity can destroy certain elect ronics. Make sur e 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 discha rge
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 PCIE-Q370 is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static guidelines above.  Make sure the packing box is facing upwards when opening.  Make sure all the packing list items are present.

Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the

4.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:
PCIE-Q370 may result in permanent damage to the PCIE-Q370 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the PCIE-Q370. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the PCIE-Q370 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
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding:- Before handling the board touch an y grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, f requently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the PCIE-Q370, place it on an
anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the PCIE-Q370.
Only handle the edges of the PCB:-: When handling t he PCB, h old t he P CB
by the edges.

4.2 Installation Considerations

NOTE:
The following installation notices and installation c onsiderations should be read and understood before installation. All instal l ation notices must be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead to severe damage and injury to the person performing the installation.
PCIE-Q370 Full-size PICMG 1.3 CPU Card
Page 46
The installation instructions described in this manual should be
WARNING:
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 PCIE-Q370
installation instructions and configuration opt i ons.
Wear an electrostatic discharge cuff (ESD):
o Electronic components are easily damaged by ESD. Wearing an E SD cuff
removes ESD from the body and helps prevent ESD damage.
Place the PCIE-Q370 on an anti-static pad:
o When installing or configuring the motherboa rd, pl ace it on an anti-static
pad. This helps to prevent potential ESD damage.
Turn all power to t he PCIE-Q370 off:
o When working with the PCIE-Q370, make sure that it i s disconnected
from all power supplies and that no elect ricity is b eing f ed into the sy stem.
Before and during the installation of the PCIE-Q370, DO NOT :
Remove any of the stickers on the PCB board. These stickers a re requir ed 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.

is installed properly and ensure the correct cooling kit is properly

4.3 Socket LGA1151 CPU Installation

WARNING:
CPUs are expensive and sensitive components. When installing the CPU please be careful not to damage it in anyway. Make sur e the CPU
installed.
DO NOT touch the pins at the bottom of the CPU. When handling the CPU, only hold it on the sides.
To install the CPU, follow the steps below.
Step 1: Disengage the load lever by pressing the lever down and slightly outward to
clear the retention tab. Fully open the lever. See Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1: Disengage the CPU Socket Load Lev er
Step 2: Open the socket and remove the protective cover. The black protective
cover can be removed by pulling up on the tab labeled "Remove". See

Step 3: Inspect the CPU socket. Make sure there are no bent pins and make sure the
socket contacts are free of foreign material. I f any debris is foun d, rem ove i t wit h compressed air .
Step 4: Orientate the CPU properly. The contact array should be facing the CPU
socket.
WARNING:
CPU, only hold it on the sides.
Step 5: Correctly position the CPU. Match the Pin 1 mark with the cut edge on the
CPU socket.
Step 6: Align the CPU pins. Locate pin 1 and the two orientation notc hes on the CPU.
Carefully match the two orientation notc hes on the CPU with the socket alignment keys.

Step 7: Insert the CPU. Gently insert the CPU into the socket. If the CPU pins are
properly aligned, the CPU should slide into the CPU socket smoothly. See
Figure 4-3.

Step 8: Close the CPU socket. Close the load plate and pull the load lever back a little
to have the load plate be able to secure to the knob. E ngage the load lever by pushing it back to its original position (Figure 4-4). There will be some resistance, but will not require extreme pressure.

4.4 Socket LGA1151 Cooling Kit Installation

WARNING:
DO NOT attempt to install a push-pin cooling fan.
The pre­bending and is ONLY compatible with captive screw type cooling fans.
The cooling kit can be bought from IEI. The cool ing kit has a heat sink and fan.
WARNING:
Do not wipe off (accidentally or otherwise) the pre­thermal paste on the bottom of the heat
dissipation.
To install the cooling kit, follow the instructions below.
Step 1: A cooling kit bracket is pre-installed on the rear of the motherboard. See Figure 4-5.
PCIE-Q370 Full-size PICMG 1.3 CPU Card

Figure 4-5: Cooling Kit Support Bracket
Step 2: Place the cooling kit onto the socket LGA1151 CPU. Make sure the CPU
cable can be properly routed when the cooling kit i s installed.
Step 3: Mount the cooling kit. Gently place the cooling kit on top of the CPU. Make
sure the four threaded screws on the corners of the cooling kit properly pass through the holes of the cooling kit bracket.
Step 4: Tighten the screws. Use a screwdriver to ti ghten 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.
Step 5: Connect the fan cable. Connect the cooling kit fan cable to the CPU fan
connector on the PCIE-Q370. Carefully route the cable and avoid heat generating chips and fan blades.Step 0:

To install a DIMM, please follow the steps below and refer to Figure 4-6.
Figure 4-6: DIMM Installation
Step 1: Open the DIMM socket handles. Open the two handles outwards as far as
they can. See Figure 4-6.
Step 2: Align the DIMM with the socket. Align the DIMM so the notch on the memory
lines up with the notch on the memory socket. See Figure 4-6.
Step 3: Insert the DIMM. Once aligned, press down until the DIMM i s properly seated.
Clip the two handles into place. See Figure 4-6.
Step 4: Removing a DIMM. To remove a DIMM, push both handles o utward. The
memory module is ejected by a mechanism in the socket.Step 0:
CAUTION:
For quad channel configuration, install four identic al memory modules
