ESD Precautions
Computer boards have integrated circuits sensitive to static electricity. To prevent chipsets
from electrostatic discharge damage, please take care of the following jobs with precautions:
Do not remove modules or integrated circuits from their anti-static packaging until you are
ready to install them.
Before holding the module or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the system
unit chassis for a few seconds. It discharges static electricity from your body.
Wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic component stores, when
handling modules and components.

2.3 Installing Thermal Solution
For thermal dissipation, a thermal solution enables the Q7M310/311’s components to dissipate
heat efficiently. All heat generating components are thermally conducted to the heatsink in
order to avoid hot spots. Figure below illustrates how to install the thermal solution on
Q7M310/311.
1. There is a protective plastic covering on the thermal pads. This must be removed before
the heatsink can be mounted.
2. Each heatsink is designed for a specific Q7M module. The thermal pads on the heatsink
are designed to make contact with the necessary components on the Q7M module.
When mounting the heatsink you must make sure that the thermal pads on the heatsink
make complete contact (no space between thermal pad and component) with the
corresponding components on the Q7M module. This is especially critical for Q7M
modules that have higher CPU speeds (for example 1.46GHz or more) to ensure that the
heatsink acts as a proper thermal interface for cooling solutions.
3. This CPU module has four assembly holes for installing heatsink plate. Use the four
screws to secure the heatsink plate to the Q7M310/311. Be careful not to over-tighten the
screws.
