To Install the xPico or xPico Wi-Fi Module
In the xPico embedded device server development kit (part number XPC100100K-02)
and xPico Wi-Fi development kit (XPW100100K-01), the xPico module comes installed to
the xPico Evaluation Board via the connector J1 (Hirose component). If ordered
separately, you may need to install it by following the directions below. The included
white Mounting Quick Clip is used to align and fasten the module to the evaluation board.
1. Place the module into the white mounting clip, lining up the clip legs and the four
module grooves so that the module is seated inside the white clip. For xPico Wi-Fi
unit connect the RF cable to the module U.FL connector prior to installing the Quick
Clip.
2. Push the legs of the white clip inward to secure the module to the clip.
3. Flip over the module/mounting clip combination so that the product label displays on
top and the white mounting clip legs are pointed downward.
4. For xPico Wi-Fi embedded device server high temperature operation, above +70C, it
is recommended to place a heat pad between the module and the adjacent PCB. The
recommended heat pad is Lantronix part number XPC100A002-01-B (available in a 50
piece bulk pack).
5. Place the module/mounting clip combination so that the four mounting clip legs align
with the four standoff holes on the board surrounding the J1 connector
(see
Figure 3-2
). Make sure to properly orientate the module/mounting clip
combination on the board, so that the J1 connector/Hirose component is properly
aligned.
