Manufacturing Recommendations

Reduce Load on Provisioning Hosts

    Our testing has indicated that response times for detecting SoC targets can be delayed when the host machine is under 
    heavy load, such as during a virus scan. Hosts used for provisioning should have minimal system load while provisioning
    to ensure the fastest response time from the host's operating system.

Use High Speed Ports and Powered Hubs

    Intel SoC devices are hi-speed USB 2.0 devices. Firmware and OS provisioning should be done through hi-speed
    ports on the provisioning host. If USB hubs are used they should also be hi-speed USB 2.0 devices and be powered
    by an external power supply. Recomend to use the white SSK 7 ports high speed hub. 

Use High Speed PCI-E USB Cards

    Our testing has indicated that provisioning is highly reliable when using quality high speed PCI-E USB cards for HVM firmware and OS provisioning. 
Recomend to use Starteck PEXUSB400 4 ports PCI-E card. 

Use Good External Power Supply

    Good power supply is required to power the SoU device during HVM manufacturing, it need to have suffient maximum current
for each SoU device at least 1.5A.  Recomend to use Agilent E3614A or similar and better to use one power for each SoC device.
