Whenever handling a CQ7-A30 board, ground yourself through an anti-static wrist strap. Placement of the board on an antistatic surface is
also highly recommended.
1.4Safety
The CQ7-A30 board uses only extremely-low voltages.
While handling the board, please use extreme caution to avoid any kind of risk or damages to electronic components.
1.5 Electrostatic Discharges
The CQ7-A30 board, like any other electronic product, is an electrostatic sensitive device: high voltages caused by static electricity could damage some or all the
devices and/or components on-board.
1.6 RoHS compliance
The CQ7-A30 board is designed using RoHS compliant components and is manufactured on a lead-free production line. It is therefore fully RoHS compliant.
Always switch the power off, and unplug the power supply unit, before handling the board and/or connecting cables or other boards.
Avoid using metallic components - like paper clips, screws and similar - near the board when connected to a power supply, to avoid short
circuits due to unwanted contacts with other board components.
If the board has become wet, never connect it to any external power supply unit or battery.
Check carefully that all cables are correctly connected and that they are not damaged.

2.1Introduction
CQ7-A30 is a carrier board for Qseven®rel. 2.0 compliant modules, specifically designed to support and test the features included in the release 2.0 of the
specifications, including those introduced with the Errata to rel. 2.0 published by SGET consortium.
Qseven®is a form factor designed to minimize space consumption, since it integrates in only 70x70mm of space all core components of a common PC
architecture (CPU, RAM, Graphic, audio, etc.). All the functionalities are made available through a standardized card edge connector, from which all signals can be
taken and carried to the appropriate external connector in the carrier board and/or to other internal component, to implement more functionalities other than those
included in the standard Qseven®bus interface.
The connection to the Qseven®board is implemented through a standardized MXM connector, which is a proven high speed signal interface connector.
All the features on the CQ7-A30 board are implemented according to the Qseven®standard bus interface, thus the board is fully Qseven®Rel. 2.0 compliant and
compatible with Qseven®Spec. 2.0 modules. Furthermore, the board can take advantage of all possible features that can be offered by x86 and/or ARM
architectures on Qseven®modules.
The list of features that can effectively be used depends on the Qseven®module used on the Carrier Board.
CQ7-A30 board is specially designed for being an advanced development board, for skilled users who want to design their own carrier boards. Indeed, the
electrical schematics of the boards included in the Development Kit will be available for developers that begin testing with this board, and want to recycle portions
of it for their own-designed Carrier Boards, allowing thus a significant reduction of time for Hardware Development.
“Recycling”of the schematic is also useful for Software Development, since SECO offers also the BSP and/or drivers for the Qseven®boards used with the
Development board. By using the same components in customer’s own design, a great spare in Software Development can be achieved.
The schematics of CQ7-A30 have also been used as a base for the writing of the “Qseven®Design Guide Version 2.0”. Indeed, this is the board that is indicated
as the Qseven V2.0 reference Carrier Board.
Both Windows (Embedded and standard versions) and Linux are supported.
All the materials is available through web-site http://www.seco.com/, where it is possible to find any kind of information needed, and is also possible to ask for help
of SECO’s Developers team to solve technical issues related to customer’s development.

CAUTION: handling batteries incorrectly or replacing with not-approved devices may present a risk of fire or explosion.
Never use two different PSUs connected simultaneously to Power connectors CN30 and CN40
2.3Electrical Specifications
CQ7-A30 board needs to be supplied using a standard ATX Power Supply (only +12VDC ± 5% voltage is needed).
This voltage can be supplied through a standard 6.3mm (internal pin, diameter 2.5 mm) DC Power Jack, CN40. Internal pin is VIN power line.
Alternatively, it is possible to use an internal Molex Mini-Fit Jr. connector, p/n 39-28-1043, or equivalent, with the pinout indicated in the following table.
The mating Connector is MOLEX p/n 39-01-3042 or equivalent, with female
crimp terminal MOLEX series 5566. The use of wires with section 18 AWG
or 20AWG is recommended, in order to ensure the proper amperage of the
power section.
All the voltages that are necessary for board’s working are derived internally
from +12V_A power rail.
When choosing the power supply unit for CQ7-A30 board, please take into account all the possible consumptions of the Qseven®module and of all the external
devices and/or the adapter boards connected to the system, which take their power supply directly from the carrier board.
This way it will be possible to choose a PSU capable to supply enough current for the whole system.
2.3.1 RTC Battery
For the occurrences when the system (Carrier Board + Qseven®module) is not powered with an external power supply, on board there is a horizontal battery
holder, for the use of standard coin cell batteries type CR2032 with a nominal capacity of 220mAh, to supply, with a 3V voltage, the Real Time Clock and CMOS
memory mounted on the Qseven®module. It is possible to exclude the coin cell battery from supplying the VCC_RTC pin, simply by jumper JP13, ,
which is a standard pin header, P2.54mm, 1x3 pin, according to the table on the left.
The batteries should only be replaced with devices of the same type. Always check the orientation before inserting and make sure that they are aligned correctly
and are not damaged or leaking.
Never allow the batteries to become short-circuited during handling.
Batteries supplied with CQ7-A30 board are compliant to requirements of European Directive 2006/66/EC regarding batteries and accumulators. When putting out

of order CQ7-A30 board, remove the batteries from the board in order to collect and dispose them according to the requirement of the same European Directive
above mentioned. When replacing the batteries, the disposal too has to be made according to these requirements.
2.3.2 Power Rails meanings
In all the tables contained in this manual, Power rails are named with the following meaning:
_S: Switched voltages, i.e. power rails that are active only when the board is in ACPI’s S0 (Working) state. Examples: +3.3V_S, +5V_S.
_A: Always-on voltages, i.e. power rails that are active both in ACPI’s S0 (Working), S3 (Standby) and S5 (Soft Off) state. Examples: +5V_A, +3.3V_A.
_U: unswitched ACPI S3 voltages, i.e. power rails that are active both in ACPI’s S0 (Working) and S3 (Standby) state. Examples: +1.5V_U
+5V_SB_Q7: Qseven Module Standby voltage. This power rail is used exclusively to supply the Standby power rail of the Qseven®module plugged in slot CN1.
In all the cases when switched power rails are not required (including +5V_SB_Q7, it is possible to use the
jumper JP23, which is a standard pin header, P2.54mm, 1x3 pin.
2.3.3 Power LEDs
In order to show the voltage presence of specific power rails, onboard there are five LEDs.
Red LED D18: +12V_A power rail active.
Red LED D19: +5V_A power rail active.
Green LED D21: +12V_S power rail active.
Green LED D22: +5V_S power rail active.
Green LED D23: +3.3V_S power rail active.
All five LEDs are off only when the board doesn’t receive any power supply input.

2.4 Mechanical Specifications
The board dimensions are 345 x 170 mm (13.58”x 6.69”).
Printed circuit of the board is made of six layers, some of them are ground planes, for disturbance rejection.
In order to fix the Qseven®module to the carrier board, on CQ7-A30 are soldered four metallic spacers, height 5mm, 2.5mm diameter, that can be used for the
fixing of standard size Qseven®modules.
It is possible to solder two further spacers for fixing of μQseven®modules. They are not directly soldered on the evaluation platform since the spacers needed for
fixing of μQseven®modules would interfere with electronic devices soldered on standard Qseven®modules.
