1. Introduction
The HQ-Box is a family of highly flexible embedded servers. The HQ-Box comes in two types of enclosures
“Compact” and “Extended”. This manual refers to both types.
The Compact version has a single extension slot which can accommodate either a PCIe add-on card, or two U.2
2. ” drives (either PCIe or SATA).
The Extended version has three extension slots allowing up to 3c PCIe Add-on cards, 4x U.2 2. drive slots, and
many combinations of PCIe slots and U2. Drives.
The manual is divided into the following sections
•Safety and standards – please read carefully
•Product description – technical details and the architecture of the product
•Assembly instructions for adding and removing optional parts
•Mechanical drawing
Heptagon systems is constantly improving it’s products and adding new features. The user is advised to check the

6. Product description
The HQ-Box server series offers a flexible and modular architecture, enabling full utilization of the Xeon-D SOC.
The HQ-Box modularity enables flexibility in all major implementation junctions, accurately tailoring the HQ-
Box to the exact needs of the client.
The HQ-Box was designed for many years of flawless service. For example, it uses only ceramic capacitors
(100% ceramic) to eliminate MTBF issues of tantalum and organic capacitors.

6.2. The HQ-Box motherboard (HB-BDE)
The HQ-Box motherboard, HB-BDE, features the following:
•Xeon-D 1 00 SOC. All series members are supported, from 2 W to 6 W.
•128GB DDR4 total memory, 4x DIMM288 with ECC for improved reliability.
•4x ports of USB3.0
•2x port of 1Gb Ethernet
•3x M.2 expansion sockets + Mini PCIe socket
The HB-BDE motherboard carries 4 expansion sockets with various functionality:
•PCIe 3.0 x16 slot which accepts expansion modules. Heptagon Systems currently offers 6 expansion
modules. All Add-on cards can be of Full-Height Half-Length (FHHL) form factor.
•10G Ethernet slot default is dual SFP+. Dual RJ4 1 (10G Base-T) option also exists.
•Board management Controller (BMC) slot to host an Aspeed AST2400 management controller, HX-A24.
Projects which do not require the remote management capabilities of the HX-A24 can replace it with the
VGA-only HX-A14 module.
•Digital I/O slot. The current HX-DIO supports HV isolated 8in+8Out. The I/O slot uses LPC and
SMBUS, enabling future client specific custom modules.
•PCIe 3.0 x4 slot for internal HHHL add-on cards. This card has no I/O panel.
1 - 10G Base-T is available for applications with temperature controller environment.
