Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: AESQ170-969 Series
The AESQ170-969 is a full-size PICMG 1.3 CPU card. It accepts a Socket
LGA1151 6th/7th generation Intel®Core™ i7/i5/i3, Pentium®or Celeron®
processor and supports four 288-pin 2133 MHz dual-channel DDR4 DIMM
modules up to 64 GB.
The AESQ170-969 provides two GbE interfaces through the Intel®I219LM
(with Intel®AMT 11.0 support) and the Intel®I210 PCIe controllers. The
integrated Intel®Q170 chipset supports six SATA 6Gb/s drives with RAID
0/1/5/10 function. In addition, the AESQ170-969 includes VGA and iDP
interfaces for dual independent display.
Two USB 3.1 Gen 1 on the rear panel, two USB 3.1 Gen 1 by internal box
header, six USB 2.0 by pin headers, one USB 2.0 by internal Type A
connector, two RS-232, two RS-232/422/485 and one PCIe Mini interface
provide flexible expansion options. High Definition Audio (HDA) support
ensures HDA devices can be easily implemented on the AESQ170-969.

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.
