The iQ7-BT Qseven® module provides the main processing chips and is connected to a
compatible Qseven® baseboard. The iQ7-BT is preinstalled with 4th generation Intel®
Atom or Celeron® processor. The Qseven® standard allows the Qseven® baseboard
to be designed, while leaving the choice of processor till the later stages of design. The
iQ7-BT provides a low power option with the full range of modern I/O options. The iQ7-BT
embedded module is designed for flexible integration by system developers into
customized platform devices.
1.2 Features
Some of the iQ7-BT Qseven module features are listed below:
 Complies with Qseven® Rev. 2.0 form factor
 Supports 22nm Intel® Atom or Celeron® processor

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 iQ7-BT is unpacked, please do the following:
 Follow the antistatic guidelines above.
 Make sure the packing box is facing upwards when opening.
 Make sure all the packing list items are present.
