1.4 Care 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.
