-Before installing a Com Express module check if the RAM is installed, and that the heatspreader is correctly mounted, and depending on the module if all thermal pads are in place. Also the orientation of the heatsink fins has to follow the airflow trough the case. If it is an Antares the fins have to point from the front to the back. In an Arneb case they have to point from side to side.\\+Before installing a Com Express module check if the RAM is installed, and that the heatspreader is correctly mounted, and depending on the module if all thermal pads are in place.

   - When the module is ready to be plugged in place the two holes next to the Com Express connector over the corresponding spacer bolt. Then slide the outer CXP connector into the outer connector on the baseboard. Do this while tilting the module a bit, so that only the outer connector slides in   - When the module is ready to be plugged in place the two holes next to the Com Express connector over the corresponding spacer bolt.

-When starting the module for the first time after installation, it is necessary to set the time again, as the modules don't have an own battery and are provided with electricity by the battery on the frontpanel.+When starting the module for the first time after installation, it is necessary to set the time again, as the modules don't have an own battery and are provided with electricity for the clock by the battery on the frontpanel.
