Assemble and Connect the Board
1. The heat sink must be fitted to the processor at all times.
2. Freescale recommends running the AdvancedMC in an ATCA, microTCA, picoTCA chassis or
equivalent. This delivers the correct power and air flow to the board. The board should be inserted
into the carrier chassis as per the specific carrier instructions. Please ensure the card is inserted the
correct way. An example is shown in
Figure 3
