This signal is also used by L1 PM Substates. Open Drain with pull up on Platform. Active Low. PCIe WAKE#. Open Drain with pull up on Platform. Active Low when used as PEWAKE#. When the Adapter supports wakeup, this signal is used to request that the system return from a sleep/suspend state to service a function-

According to the 3GPP protocol, the required transmit power varies with the power class. Table 4-3 list the required range of the conducted transmit power of the module under 3.3 V +10% -5% voltage and normal temperature.

This measurement cannot be obtained with the DRS since these are always associated to the PUSCH or PUCCH and limited to the UE allocated bandwidth. Unlike the DRS associated with the physical uplink control and shared channels the SRS is not necessarily transmitted together with any physical channel. If the SRS is transmitted with a physical channel, then it may stretch over a larger frequency band. The information provided by the estimates is used to schedule uplink transmissions on resource blocks of good quality. The picture below shows the support for SRS function.

Please follow the steps in Picture 6-2 to insert the module. Minimum two step insertion is desirable; intent is to minimize the insertion/extraction force.
- Step 1: As PCI-express standard, angled insertion is allowable and preferred. The recommend of angle of insertion is 20. (minimum: 5)
- Step 2 & 3: Push down XS5G03/XS5G04 and fix it with screw. Picture 6-2 The RF connector on XS5G03/XS5G04 module is standard MHF 4 connector, the serial number is 20579-001E manufacture by I-PEX Corporation. To prevent RF connector being damaged while install and uninstall RF cable, the recommend mating and unmating tool is I-PEX 90609-0001.

XS5G03/XS5G04 M.2 Data Card Hardware Guide 7.3 FCC Notice Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Integration instructions for host product manufacturers Applicable FCC rules to module FCC Part 22 / 24 / 27 / 90 / 96 Summarize the specific operational use conditions The module is must be installed in mobile device. This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
1) 2) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users, and The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna As long as 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed. IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-
location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization. The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the users manual of the end product which integrates this module. Issue 01.2 (2022-09-15) XSquare Communications Proprietary and Confidential 61 Copyright XSquare Communications Corp.
