Technical Information C43-SATA • SATA/USB Mezzanine Module
Short Description
Available as a mezzanine add-on expansion
board to the CCM-BOOGIE and successor CPU
carrier cards, the main purpose of the
C43-SATA is to provide SATA and USB
connectors for system internal usage. In
addition, the C43-SATA can accommodate an
USB Flash drive module. Basically, the C43-SATA
is designed to fit into the 4HP (20.32mm pitch)
envelope of a CPCI CPU carrier board, so that
another 4HP pitch mezzanine expansion board
can be stacked above the CPU/C43 assembly in
addition.
Up to four SATA connectors (latching headers)
are optionally available on the C43-SATA, for
attachment of system internal drives by ordinary
latching SATA cable harnesses. Two of the
SATA channels may be either operated in a low
level RAID (0/1) mode, or as universal non-RAID
SATA ports.
The C43-SATA can be optionally equipped with
up to 2 horizontal mount USB type A host
receptacles, for system internal use.
A top mount pin header can be provided for
attachment of a low profile industrial grade
USB solid state drive (SSD) module, available
from several vendors with a capacity of up to
16GB as of current. However, the 4HP total
stack height for the entire assembly comprised
of carrier board CPU, C43-SATA and USB SSD
will be exceeded by up to 1.8mm, depending
on the profile of the USB module locking screw.
This may be tolerable in many situations, but
should be nevertheless considered.
Some of the C43 stuffing options are exclusive
to each other, due to space restrictions on the
C43-SATA.

Technical Reference - Connectors
Caution
Some of the connectors may provide operating voltage (e.g. +12V, +5V and +3.3V) to devices
inside the system chassis, such as internal peripherals. Not all of these connectors are overcurrent
protected. Do not use these connectors for powering devices external to the computer chassis. A
fault in the load presented by the external devices could cause damage to the board, the
interconnecting cable and the external devices themselves.
Please Note
The C43-SATA mezzanine module may be equipped with several connectors for system internal
usage. Not all of these connectors may be present on a particular board. Be sure to specify your
individual needs when ordering the C43-SATA board. Characteristic features and the pin
assignments of each connector are described on the following pages.

I/O Connectors
The C43-SATA can be equipped with several I/O connectors. Some of these connectors are available
as an option only or exclusive to each other, and therefore may not be functional or even present
on your actual board.
Assembly of these connectors is highly custom specific. Discuss your needs with EKF before
ordering, so that the optimum board configuration for your application will be chosen.

J-USB3 - J-USB4
As a custom specific option, the C43-SATA can be provided with up to two horizontal mount USB
receptacles. Due to the USB connector dimensions, the total stack height of the CPU carrier board
and the C43-SATA mezzanine module assembly will exceed the 4HP envelope about ~1.3mm. This
may be tolerable in some situations, but should be nevertheless considered. USB cable assemblies
with slim and short plugs are required - not any USB harness matches with the C43-SATA due to
space restrictions. The same issue must be strictly observed if direct attachment of an USB stick
(e.g. Flash Drive) is intended - only very short, low profile sticks (with an overall length of less than
~50mm) would be suitable.
The J-USB3 receptacle cannot be populated together with the P-SATA4 connector (USB cable
assembly in conflict with SATA receptacle). For similar reasons, the J-USB4 jack cannot be stuffed
together with P-UFD1 (USB SSD memory module). Be sure to discuss your needs with [email protected]
before ordering.
The C43-SATA USB ports are derived from the ICH/PCH southbridge on the CPU carrier board. A
dual electronic switch is provided on the C43-SATA for short-circuit and overcurrent control
regarding the J-USBx receptacles (0.5A).

P-SATA1 - P-SATA4
The C43-SATA can be optionally populated with up to four horizontal mount latching SATA signal
headers , for system internal attachment of SATA drives. TX/RX designation of signals are shown
with respect to the additional SATA controller located on the carrier board. P-SATA1 and P-SATA4
are tied to the ICH/PCH southbridge of the CPU carrier board (P-SATA4 not available with
CCM-BOOGIE). P-SATA2 corresponds to the SATA channel 0 of the JMB362 controller on the
carrier board, and P-SATA3 is wired to the JMB362 SATA channel 1. The SATA ports P-SATA2 and
P-SATA3 can be used individually or as RAID 0/1 (different drivers).
Straight SATA cable assemblies are recommended for reliable industrial usage.

P-SATA4 is provided for future CPU boards based on a new Intel Platform Controller Hub
generation with additional SATA channels. P-SATA4 is not available concurrent to J-USB3 (space
restrictions).
When latching SATA cable assemblies are in use, the unlocking clip of the SATA cable connector
will exceed the 4HP profile of the carrier board and C43-SATA mezzanine card assembly. Although
this may be tolerable in some situations - be aware of a potential short-circuit condition on bottom
of the neighboured side board, possibly caused by the metallic clip surface!
