Introduction
This user guide describes the Qseven® modules Q7ALx2 from Kontron, known as Q7ALx2 within this user guide. The
Q7ALx2 is an off-the-shelf module designed to meet the Qseven® standard. The Q7ALx2 includes all the components
of a common PC on a small form factor board (70 mm x 70 mm) designed to be mounted on a carrier board using the
Qseven® (MXM) connector. The interface connectors on the carrier board connect to the end application.
The use of the Q7ALx2 module requires basic knowledge of PC hardware and software. This user guide focuses on
describing the Q7ALx2’s special features and is not intended to be a standard PC textbook.
Before powering on the Q7ALx2 module, Kontron recommends new users to read and observe the General Safety
Instructions for Equipment in the previous Chapter and study the power on procedure in Chapter 9/: Power on.
Configuration and setup of the Q7ALx2 is performed automatically or manually, by the user, via the BIOS setup.
