Connector Subsystems

The conga-QA6 is based on the Qseven

standard and therefore has 115 edge fingers on the top and bottom side of the module that mate

with the 230-pin card-edge MXM connector located on the carrier board. This connector provides the ability to interface the available signals
of the conga-QA6 with the carrier board peripherals.
