hardware introduction

PWM fan connector

4-Pin 1.0 pitch white connector

	Yellow (FG)
	Black (Ground)
	Blue (PWM)
	Red (+5V power)

Jumper setting for CAM/DISP1

	If either CAM/DISP 1 is used then both jumpers must be fitted to route the I2C bus to the connectors.

12-pin configurable header (J2)

	Pin1-2: nRPIBOOT - if fitted, forces USB booting (useful if the eMMC becomes corrupted)
	Pin3-4: EEPROM_nWP - if fitted, write-protects the EEPROM on CM5.
	Pin6: SYNC_OUT - IEEE1588 timing pin. (can be configured as input). Pin8: USBOTG
	Pin10: PMIC_ENABLE
	Pin12: Connect a push button to wakeup or shutdown CM5.
	Pin1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11: Ground

required hardware

X1501 CM5 IO board

Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5

3	27W USB-C Power Supply	4	micro-SD card (≥16GB) x1
5	M.2 NVMe SSD x1-2 (SATA SSD not compatible)	6	Raspberry Pi CM5 cooler
7	CR1220 coin-cell battery

For optimal performance, please use the official Raspberry Pi 27W USB-C* Power Supply or an alternative power supply capable of delivering 5.1V at 5A. An incompatible power supply with a lower output voltage may fail to power on the system.

hardware installation

Installing the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5

Step 1 Protecting from ESD

Grounding protects the components from the static electricity that can be naturally present (electrostatic discharge, ESD).

	Notice: Risk of damage to the equipment due to electrostatic discharge. Always: Touch the working surface before touching electronics.
	Ideally: Use ESD protective equipment, such as ESD table mats and grounding cords.

Step 2 Aligh the IO board and CM5

	Place the board in front of you, the connectors facing to the top.
	Orient the CM5 as indicated by the arrow.
	Use the outline of the chips to help find the correct orientation of the CM5.
	Carefully place the CM5 without force.
	The CM5 should fall into place slightly when correctly aligned.
	Confirm the Compute Module is correctly mated by looking at each corner of the IO Board.

Step 3 Installing the CM5

	Press the CM5 board onto the board-to-board connectors until it clicks into place.
	Make sure you press on both sides (the two long edges).
	This requires quite a bit of force. If you don't hear a loud click, it is most likely not fully seated. Do a visual check to make sure the CM5 is installed correctly: it needs to run parallel to the IO board.

Step 4 Installing the heat sink (requires separate Raspberry Pi CM5 cooler)

	Please remove the protective white paper from the thermal silicone.
	Place the Cooler onto Compute Module 5.
	Align the mounting holes, insert four M2.5 × 8 screws (supplied) upwards from beneath the IO Board, and tighten.

Step 5 Installing the RTC battery

	Insert the CR1220 coin-cell battery (making sure that the battery isoriented correctly. Positive side (+) UP).

Step 6a Installing the M.2 2280 NVMe SSD devices

	Insert the M.2 SSD into M.2 slot then slide the SSD drive into the M.2 slot at 30 degrees while pushing it gently till it fits into the slot.
	Notice that after insertion into the M.2 slot, the SSD drive inclined angle to the board.
	Press the M.2 SSD drive till it sits on the riser screw then lock it in place using the M2 mounting screw.

Step 6b Installing the M.2 2230/2242 NVMe SSD devices

	Set the the M.2 extension board on top of the spacers, and use the two M2 screws to secure it in place.
	Installing the 2230/2242 SSD follows the same process as installing the 2280 SSD, as outlined in Step 5a.
