1.4Care of modules

This section contains advice about how to prevent damage to your Integrator modules.

Caution

To prevent damage to your Integrator system, observe the following precautions:

When removing a core or logic module from a motherboard, or when separating modules, take care not to damage the connectors. Do not apply a twisting force to the ends of the connectors. Loosen each connector first before pulling on both ends of the module at the same time.

Use the system in a clean environment and avoid debris fouling the connectors on the underside of the PCB. Blocked holes can cause damage to connectors on the motherboard or module below. Visually inspect the module to ensure that connector holes are clear before mounting it onto another board.

Observe ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) precautions when handling any Integrator board.

Integrator/IM Interface Modules are designed to connect with ARM and third party development platforms that meet the interface specification. Interface Modules connect to the top of a stack because there are no EXPA/B connectors on the top side.
