Product Safety
Product Safety
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Computer boards and components contain electrostatic sensitive devices.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components. To protect the PCB
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 circuitry.
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.
Only store the product in its original ESD-protected packaging. Retain
the original packaging in case you need to return the product to MEN for
repair.

Legal Information
Conformity
MEN products are no ready-made products for end users. They are tested according to
the standards given in the Technical Data and thus enable you to achieve certification of
the product according to the standards applicable in your field of application.
RoHS
Since July 1, 2006 all MEN standard products comply with RoHS legislation.
Since January 2005 the SMD and manual soldering processes at MEN have already been
completely lead-free. Between June 2004 and June 30, 2006 MEN’s selected component
suppliers have changed delivery to RoHS-compliant parts. During this period any change
and status was traceable through the MEN ERP system and the boards gradually became
RoHS-compliant.
REACH
MEN is a manufacturer of electronic products and thus a so-called "downstream user" in
terms of REACH. The products MEN supplies are solely non-chemical goods. Moreover
and under normal and reasonably foreseeable circumstances of application, the goods
supplied shall not release any substance.
Beyond that, according to REACH – Art.33, MEN will inform the customer immediately
should a substance contained in an MEN product (with a content of > 0.1%) be classified
alarming by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).
WEEE Application
Nevertheless, MEN is registered as a manufacturer in Germany. The registration number
can be provided on request.
Copyright © 2018 MEN Mikro Elektronik GmbH. All rights reserved.
The WEEE directive does not apply to fixed industrial plants and tools. The
compliance is the responsibility of the company which puts the product
on the market, as defined in the directive; components and sub-
assemblies are not subject to product compliance.
In other words: Since MEN does not deliver ready-made products to end
users, the WEEE directive is not applicable for MEN. Users are
nevertheless recommended to properly recycle all electronic boards
which have passed their life cycle.

1 Product Overview
1.1 Product Description
Quad Gigabit Ethernet Board
The G211 quad Ethernet interface is a rugged single Eurocard CompactPCI Serial
peripheral board. It can be used in combination with a CompactPCI Serial or CompactPCI
PlusIO CPU board in a CompactPCI Serial or hybrid system.
Flexible Front Connectors
It provides four Gigabit Ethernet interfaces at the front panel which can be accessed
either on four RJ45 or four A-coded M12 connectors making it especially suited for
applications in harsh environments.
All four interfaces are controlled by one Ethernet controller which is connected to the
backplane via a x4 PCI Express link and supports the IEEE 802.3x standard. Each
interface supports a data transfer rate of 1Gbit/s, even if all interfaces are used
simultaneously. Two LEDs show the link and activity status of every interface.
Rugged Environments
The G211 is designed for extended operating temperature and prepared for conformal
coating for use in harsh and mobile environments.

3.2.4 Ethernet MAC Addresses
The naming of the interfaces may differ depending on the operating system. The MAC
addresses on G211 are:
Table 6. Ethernet MAC addresses
"00 C0 3A" is the MEN vendor code. The last six digits form the unique MAC address for
each board. The last three digits correspond to the serial number of each G211:
Serial number 42 (X1): 0x0000 + 0x002A = 0x002A.
3.2.5 Ethernet Status LEDs
Table 7. Ethernet status LEDs
The unique MAC address is set at the factory and should not be changed.
Any attempt to change this address may create node or bus contention
and thereby render the board inoperable.
