1Introduction
Product Overview
The CF24118HR/CF34118HR CFast drive carrier modules provide a low cost removable drive solution for PC/104 systems. They utilize the
SATA links on the PCIe/104 bus connector on select RTD PCIe/104 cpuModules. The onboard drive utilizes the first SATA link on the
connector, while the other SATA link is lane-shifted up the stack to permit stacking multiple SATA drive carrier modules within one system.

Board Handling Precautions
To prevent damage due to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), keep your board in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install it into your system.
When removing it from the bag, hold the board at the edges, and do not touch the components or connectors. Handle the board in an antistatic
environment, and use a grounded workbench for testing and handling of your hardware.

Stacking Requirements
It is common that the host cpuModule of the system requires that high speed peripherals like the CF24118HR/CF34118HR are installed within
six boards of the CPU. With today’s wide array of high speed modules (SATA, USB 3.0, PCI Express, etc.), PCI devices connected to PCI/104-
Express cpuModules are forced to be stacked farther away from the cpuModule.
The PCI-104 connector on the CF24118HR permits installing the SATA drive carrier near the CPU to meet this requirement, without hindering
the PCI bus to pass through to PCI peripherals that are farther away from the CPU in the system.
The CF24118HR/CF34118HR may be installed either above or below the CPU. Check the CPU manual for the number of links supported
above and below the CPU.
Steps for Installing
1. Always work at an ESD protected workstation, and wear a grounded wrist-strap.
2. Turn off power to the PC/104 system or stack.
3. Select and install stand-offs to properly position the module on the stack.
4. Remove the module from its anti-static bag.
5. Check that pins of the bus connector are properly positioned.
6. Check the stacking order; make sure all of the busses used by the peripheral cards are connected to the cpuModule.
7. Hold the module by its edges and orient it so the bus connector pins line up with the matching connector on the stack.
8. Gently and evenly press the module onto the PC/104 stack.
9. If any boards are to be stacked above this module, install them.
10. Attach any necessary cables to the PC/104 stack.
11. Re-connect the power cord and apply power to the stack.
12. Boot the system and verify that all of the hardware is working properly.

Module Handling Precautions
To prevent damage due to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), keep your module in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install it into your system.
When removing it from the bag, hold the module by the aluminum enclosure, and do not touch the components or connectors. Handle the
module in an antistatic environment, and use a grounded workbench for testing and handling of your hardware.

Block Diagram
The Figure below shows the functional block diagram of the CF24118HR/CF34118HR. The various parts of the block diagram are discussed in
the following sections.
Figure 7: CF24118HR/CF34118HR Block Diagram
CFast Connector
The CFast connector allows you to install a readily-available CFast or CFast 2.0 card to provide high-speed, removable storage to your system.
Multiple CF24118HR/CF34118HR board may be used in a system, and they may be used with other SATA drive carriers. The total number is
limited by the number of SATA links provided by the CPU. This can allow for the use of RAID arrays, if supported by the CPU.
5.2.1 HOT PLUG
Hot plug is supported by this board. However, the CPU and the operating system must be configured correctly for successful hot plug. In the
BIOS setup utility for the CPU, “Hot-Plug” must be enabled for the SATA link that is utilized for this board. Contact your CPU vendor for more
details.
The ability to Hot Plug may also be affected by the driver that is used by the operating system. On Windows operating systems, some versions
of the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Framework do not allow the drive to show up in the “Safely Remove Hardware” tray icon. In this case,
the Framework can be uninstalled and the default Windows driver used.
Some CPUs require a delay between removing the CFast card and inserting another. Most notably, the Intel Core 2 Duo and Intel Celeron M
(ULV 722) processor families from RTD require approximately 10 seconds between a removal event and an insertion event. If the CFast card
is inserted before then, it will not be detected.
LED
An LED is provided to indicate drive status information. The LED is controlled by the CFast card, and therefore the meaning of it is dependent
on the CFast card that is used. Note that some CFast cards do not drive the LED signals at all.
The LED is Yellow when the LED1 signal is asserted low, and Green when the LED2 signal is asserted low.
