devices are unplugged be ore the signal cables are connected. I possible, disconnect all power
cables rom the existing system be ore you add a device.
• Be ore connecting or removing signal cables rom the motherboard, ensure that all power cables are
unplugged.
• Seek pro essional assistance be ore using an adapter or extension cord. These devices could
interrupt the grounding circuit.
• Make sure that your power supply is set to the correct voltage in your area. I you are not sure about
the voltage o the electrical outlet you are using, contact your local power company.
• I your power supply is not unctioning, do not attempt to repair it. Contact a quali ied service
technician or your retailer.
OPERATIONAL SAFETY
• Be ore installing the carrier card or connecting devices to it, care ully read any and all provided
manuals or the devices in question.
• Be ore using the product, make sure all cables are correctly connected and the power cables are
not damaged. I you ind any damage, contact your dealer immediately.
• To avoid short circuits, keep paper clips, screws, staples, and other oreign metallic objects away
rom connectors, slots, sockets and circuitry.
• Avoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes. Do not locate the product in any area where it may
become wet or damp.
• Place the product on a stable sur ace at all times.
• I you encounter technical problems with the product, contact a quali ied service technician or your
retailer.

System Overview
DESIGN
The Arctic Tern module has been speci ically designed or applications requiring high security, small
orm actor, and minimal power requirements. Multiple modules may be connected together or
enhanced unctionality, using the on-board SERDES links. The AT1PEC1 carrier card allows up to
two modules to be installed, although most on-card eatures will unction with only the irst module
installed.

Module Installation and Removal
MODULE INSERTION
Modules are inserted at an angle, then rotated downward into the socket latches in the same manner
as standard SODIMM memory modules. Module 1 must be installed be ore Module 2 (i applicable)
due to mechanical inter erence between the two modules during the installation process.
To install, irst gently insert the module at an approximate 45 degree angle to the carrier card as
shown. The module must be ully inserted to the hard stop, otherwise it will not latch during the
second part o the installation process.
Once inserted, care ully but irmly press the module lat toward the carrier card. Use your thumbs and
press on the upper two corners o the module during this process. Installation is complete once the
latches engage and the module no longer attempts to return to an angled position away rom the
carrier card.

MODULE REMOVAL
Modules must be removed in the reverse order to installation. Module 2 must be removed be ore
Module 1 due to mechanical inter erence between the two modules during the removal process.
To remove, gently spread the two black plastic socket latches on either side o the module until the
module “pops” up and sits at an angle to the carrier card. Once the module is at an angle to the
carrier card, grasp the module by the two short edges and gently but irmly pull the module directly
away rom the socket until it releases rom the carrier card.
CAUTION: Attempting to over-rotate or otherwise mechanically orce the module away rom the
carrier card can result in damage to the socket and/or module. Damage caused by impr per
installati n r rem val is n t c vered under warranty.

Headers and Connectors
PIN NUMBERING CONVENTIONS
All headers on the AT1PEC1 ollow a standard layout, with pin 1 being denoted with a white silkscreen
marking. Dual row headers ollow the numbering convention shown above, where all even pins are on
one side o the header and all odd pins are on the other. Single row headers use a monotonically
increasing pin number, starting rom pin 1. Key pins are not physically present, but are still counted as
pins in the numbering scheme.
