Spreader/Cooler
Installing the Heat Spreader/Cooler
1. Check the thermal interface material pads on the heat spreader/cooler. Make sure the
pads are aligned to their corresponding components on the COMX-P2020 Module.
2. Align the standoffs of the heat spreader/cooler with the screw holes on the COMX-
P2020 Module.
3. Hold the heat spreader/cooler and COMX-P2020 Module.
4. From the backside of COMX-P2020 Module, use two screws to fasten the module to
the heat spreader/cooler through two internal mounting holes.
Removing the Heat Spreader/Cooler
1. Loosen and remove the two pieces of screws that attach the heat spreader/cooler to
the COMX-P2020 Module.
2. While holding the edges, pull the heat spreader/cooler from the COMX-P2020 Module.
2.8 Installing and Removing the Module on the
Carrier Board
The assembled COM Express module with the attached heat spreader/cooler is attached
to a carrier board.
Installing the COM Express Module on the Carrier Board
1. Line up the board-to-board connector of the COMX-P2020 Module assembly with the
board-to-board connector of the carrier board.
2. Make sure that the interconnectors are properly aligned and that the bottom surface of
the COMX-P2020 Module have contact with the four standoffs on carrier board.
3. From the topside of the COMX-P2020 Module assembly, locate the screw holes on
heat spreader/cooler.
4. Use the screws to fasten the COMX-P2020 Module assembly to the carrier board.
Removing the COM Express Module from the Carrier Board
1. From the topside of the COMX-P2020 Module assembly, locate the four screws that
connect the COMX-P2020 Module assembly to the carrier board.
2. Loosen and remove the screws.
3. While holding the edges, pull the COMX-P2020 Module from the carrier board.
