1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: ICE-BDE-T7
The ICE-BDE-T7 COM Express Type 7 module provides the main processing chips and is
connected to a compatible COM Express baseboard. The ICE-BDE-T7 is preinstalled with
Intel® Xeon® D-1548, D-1518 or D-1508 processor. The COM Express standard allows
the COM Express baseboard to be designed, while leaving the choice of processor till the
later stages of design. The ICE-BDE-T7 provides a low power option with the full range of
modern I/O options. The ICE-BDE-T7 embedded module is designed for flexible
integration by system developers into customized platform devices.

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 ICE-BDE-T7 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.
