1.7 Safety Precautions
Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis when-
ever you work with the hardware. Do not make connections while the
power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sud-
den power surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should open
the PC chassis.
Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the
motherboard. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static
electric discharges. As a safety precaution, use a grounding wrist strap
at all times. Place all electronic components on a static-dissipative sur-
face or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in the chassis.
Caution! The computer is provided with a battery-powered Real-time Clock cir-
cuit. There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with same or equivalent type recommended by the manu-
facturer. Discard used batteries according to manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.
Caution! There is a danger of a new battery exploding if it is incorrectly installed.
Do not attempt to recharge, force open, or heat the battery. Replace the
battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the man-
ufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.

2.1 Power Sequencing
There is no power sequencing requirement for the input voltages to the MXM mod-
ule. However the PWR_EN signal may be asserted only after all power rails are
within specified tolerances. The state of PWR_GOOD is undefined until all the rails
are fully ramped. Refer to Figure 2.1 for details.

Chapter 2 System Requirements
2.2 Module Power Down and Power Up
The MXM module may be powered down using the PWR_EN signal. The system
designer may choose to shut down or keep the input power while the module is pow-
ered down. Refer to Figure 2.2 for details.
Figure 2.2 Power Sequencing
2.3 Reset Requirements
System reset may be deasserted only after the assertion of the PWR_GOOD signal.
Figure 2.3 shows the reset requirements relative to the PWR_EN and PWR_GOOD
signals. This sequence must be followed on initial power on, system reset and
resume from suspend/hibernate.
Figure 2.3 Reset Sequencing
Note! All output signals from the MXM module are undefined when PWR_-
GOOD is deasserted or undefined. The system is recommended to gate
critical signals using an appropriate qualifier.
Note! In order to reduce boot time, a system that monitors the PWR_GOOD
signal, is allowed to violate the TPVPERL specification as long as the
TPERST-PG timing is still met.

2.4 DisplayPort Interface
DisplayPort traces must be routed with the impedance specified by Table 2.4. DC
blocking capacitors must be placed on the system board. In addition the MXM imple-
mentation of Dual-mode DisplayPort requires the circuit in Figure 2.4 on the AUX
lines for proper dongle detection. The HPD signal conditioning must also be placed
on the system board.

2.5 DVI/HDMI on DP Interface
Native DVI or HDMI connector support can be implemented using a display port
interface. Additional circuitry is required on the system and the proper signal mapping
must be observed. As Figure 2.5 shows, 499 W 1% pull-down resistors to ground on
the DP lane signals must be placed on the connector side of the AC coupling capaci-
tors gated by a FET to limit the leakage. Additionally level shifting circuits must also
be implemented on DDC Data and Clock, refer to the MXM Version 3.0 System
Design Guide for specific details.
Table 2.2 shows the mapping to connect the signals from the MXM connector to the
HDMI/DVI connector. For the optional dual-link DVI support refer to Table 2.3.
