2.3 Guidelines to insert the Processor board into Carrier board
Make sure that the carrier board is completely powered off.
Insert the Q7 module in to the MXM connector at an angle of 45° as shown in Figure 3.
Check the Notch position of Q7 module is proper while inserting.
Insert the Q7 module as shown in below.
Once the Q7 module is inserted to the MXM connector properly, press the board
vertically down as shown below, such that the board is fixed firmly into the expansion
connectors.
