F600 - 3U CompactPCI Side Card for SATA/Legacy I/O
MEN Mikro Elektronik GmbH 2
20F600-00 E2 – 2008-03-03
F600 - 3U CompactPCI Side Card for SATA/Legacy I/O
The F600 is a 4HP legacy I/O extension card for 3U Intel® based CompactPCI®
single-board computers such as F14, F15, F17, F18 and further boards of the Intel®
low power family.
Modern Intel® based boards increasingly support USB interfaces as an exclusive
universal connection of devices such as keyboard, mouse, CD-ROM, floppy etc.
Especially in industrial applications however many existing systems still use COM
interfaces.
The F600 provides SA-Adapter™ slots for up to four additional COMs, two at the
front panel and two on board. Since SA-Adapters™ provide the physical layers, the
F600 can be configured flexibly with a combination of RS232, RS422 or RS485
interfaces, alternatively isolated or not isolated. In addition an on-board 2.5" SATA
hard-disk slot can be used on the standard version of the F600, which comes with
two COM interfaces.
The F600 is directly plugged to the right side of the respective single-board
computer. A robust connector makes for high mechanical stability. It is delivered
with an 8HP front panel, replacing the 4HP front panel of a 3U single-board
computer and thus resulting in a solid one-piece front panel.

20F600-00 E2 – 2008-03-03
Product Safety
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Computer boards and components contain electrostatic sensitive devices.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components. To protect the board and
other components against damage from static electricity, you should follow some
precautions whenever you work on your computer.
• Power down and unplug your computer system when working on the inside.
• Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips, leads, or cir-
cuitry.
• Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components.
• Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the
component whenever the components are separated from the system.
• Store the board only in its original ESD-protected packaging. Retain the original
packaging in case you need to return the board to MEN for repair.

1.2 Configuring the Hardware
You should check your hardware requirements before attaching the F600 to a
CPU board, since most modifications are only possible when the boards are
disconnected. You should also stick to the following order.
The following check list gives an overview on what you might want to configure.
;SATA external device
You can install an external SATA device, e.g. a CD-ROM drive. Suitable
standard cables are available.
Refer to Chapter 2.4.2.1 Installing an External SATA Device on page 31
for more details.
;SATA hard disk on board
You can easily install a 2.5" SATA hard disk. MEN offers a suitable hard disk.
Installation material is already supplied with F600.
See MEN’s website for ordering information.
Refer to Chapter 2.4.1.1 Installing a Hard Disk on page 28 for a detailed
installation description.
;SA-Adapters on board
The board is shipped without SA-Adapters installed. To use the UARTs, you
can install two SA-Adapters directly on the board.
Refer to Chapter 2.3.1.1 Installing SA-Adapters Directly on F600 on
page 22 for a detailed installation description.
1.3 Integrating the Board into a System
The F600 is suited as a side card for different MEN CPU boards. If you are not sure
if your CPU board is supported, please check the CPU’s data sheet.
If the F600 can be used with your CPU, attach it to the CPU board as is described in
the CPU board’s user manual.
1.4 Installing Driver Software
For a detailed description on how to install driver software please refer to the
respective documentation.
You can find any driver software available for download on MEN’s website.

2 Functional Description
2.1 Power Supply
The board is supplied with +5V, +3.3V and +12V via the CPU board (board-to-
board connector) and via the CompactPCI backplane. For this purpose,
CompactPCI bus connector J1 is assembled.
2.2 Board-to-Board Connector
The F600 side card is attached to a CPU board using a board-to-board connector.
This connector supports special I/O functions from the CPU.
The board-to-board connector is located at the bottom side of the board, so that the
F600 can be attached to the right side of a CPU board.
The board-to-board connector on F600 supports the following interfaces:
• Two SATA channels
• Two USB-to-UART interfaces
• Two additional USB-to-UART interfaces optional
See MEN’s website for available board versions.
2.2.1 Connection
Connector types:
• 114-pin matched impedance plug connector, MICTOR 0.64 mm grid
• Mating connector:
114-pin matched impedance receptacle connector, MICTOR 0.64 mm grid
