Fig. 2.1: Thermal pad protective foil

Insert the RK3399-Q7 module at a 45-degree angle into the connector in the base board. Once fully inserted, push it down

until it rests on the standoffs.

Place the heatsink on the module and screw it down

very gently

using four screws of 10mm length.

Fig. 2.2: Screws used for mounting heatsink and RK3399-Q7 module.

2.3 Mount the Fan (optional)

Note:

The fan is only necessary in exceptionally high ambient temperatures. Under normal conditions, the RK3399-Q7

operates passively cooled.

Place the fan on the heatsink and screw it down using four 19 mm long screws.
