Chapter 2.9.2 mSATA Disk on page 30 Ethernet via rear I/O according to CompactPCI Serial The G22 offers the possibility to realize a different number of Ethernet ports at the rear via a special adapter card. In that case no CompactFlash or mSATA can be used and no battery is available to buffer the real time clock.
Getting Started Integrating the Board into a System You can use the following check list when installing the G22 in a system for the first time and with minimum configuration. Power-down the system. Remove all boards from the CompactPCI system.
Getting Started Troubleshooting at Start-up If you have any problems at start-up of the G22, you can start the board with UEFI default settings for troubleshooting. Please refer to Chapter 3 BIOS on page Configuring BIOS The G22 is equipped with an InsydeH2O UEFI framework. Normally you won’t need to make any changes in the BIOS setup.
81). Power Supply The G22 board is supplied with +12V only. The voltage range is +9 V up to +16 V (absolute maximum voltage). The voltage is monitored within these borders. The G22 board can optionally be supplied with +5V (+5%/-3%) standby voltage.
Functional Description Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) G22 boards equipped with an Intel Core i7 or i5 processor support Intel Active Management Technology (AMT 8.0). Intel AMT is powered by a separate hardware engine in Intel chipsets which enables e.g. out-of-band (OOB) diagnostics, remote control, IDE-Redirect, Serial-over-LAN (SOL), agent presence checking and network traffic filtering.
Functional Description Reset Behavior The G22 can be reset using the reset button on the front panel or the PRST# signal on the backplane. (See also Chapter 2.15 Reset Button on page 55.) Real-Time Clock 2.6.1 Internal Real-Time Clock The board includes a real-time clock connected to the chipset. For data retention during power off the RTC is backed up by a supercapacitor.
Functional Description Processor Core The G22 can be equipped with different types of Intel Core i7, i5 or i3 processors. The following table gives a performance overview: Table 1. Processor core options for the G22 Cores/ Power Processor Type Core Frequency...
SDRAM. The memory bus is 2x72 bits wide (dual channel) and operates with up to 1066 MHz. 2.8.2 Boot Flash The G22 has an 64-Mbit SPI Serial Flash implemented as on-board Flash for BIOS data. 2.8.3 EEPROM The board has a 2-kbit serial EEPROM for factory data.
Functional Description Mass Storage The G22 offers the possibility to connect an mSATA disk and a microSD card on a small adapter card in the heat sink area which is assembled by default. The slots are controlled via one USB port and one SATA port from the chipset.
Page 29
The Ethernet rear I/O card (e.g. GM1) also offers a microSD card slot. To install a microSD card, please stick to the following procedure. Power down your system and remove the G22 from the system. Put the board on a flat surface.
Installing an mSATA disk To install an mSATA disk, please stick to the following procedure. Power down your system and remove the G22 from the system. Put the board on a flat surface. Insert the mSATA disk carefully in a 30° angle.

All interfaces can be run in AHCI and RAID mode. Peripheral Use If the G22 is used in a peripheral slot, the interfaces on the CompactPCI Serial connectors are switched off. For a detailed listing of the SATA ports and their state in peripheral mode see the following table.
The maximum resolution of one fixed DisplayPort interface is 2560x1600, the maximum resolution of the second fixed DisplayPort interface is 1920x1200 and the maximum resolution of the third DisplayPort, HDMI or DVI capable inter- face is 1920x1200.

In the following table you can find a list of adapters that have also been tested and can be used with the G22. Table 3. DisplayPort adapters for the G22 Manufacturer Ordering Number ACTEBIS 1444334 (ROHS)
The G22 provides a digital display interface on CompactPCI Serial connector P2. Chapter 2.10.1 Display Configuration for more information on supported interfaces and resolutions. When the G22 is used in peripheral mode, the rear interface is switched off. Chapter 2.14 CompactPCI Serial on page MEN Mikro Elektronik GmbH 20G022-00 E2 –...
USB 2.0 interfaces can be used in this case. Peripheral Use If the G22 is used in a peripheral slot, the USB interfaces on the CompactPCI Serial connectors are switched off. For a detailed listing of the USB ports and their state in peripheral mode see the following table.
Two USB interfaces are led to the Ethernet rear I/O adapter card which is used to realize Ethernet via rear I/O and a microSD card interface. Chapter 2.14.5 Ethernet Rear I/O Card on page 50 for details on the mezzanine interface. MEN Mikro Elektronik GmbH 20G022-00 E2 – 2014-04-10...
2.12 Ethernet Interfaces The G22 has two Ethernet interfaces connected to the platform controller hub via two x1 PCI Express (PCIe) links. They are controlled by an Intel I211 Ethernet controller and an 82579LM Ethernet Controller PHY. They support 10 Mbits/s up to 1000 Mbits/s as well as full-duplex operation and autonegotiation.
To achieve more flexibility, these interfaces are not implemented directly on the G22 but on a small adapter card (e.g. the GM1) which is equipped with the CompactPCI Serial connector P6. Two cards with 4 or 8 Ethernet interfaces are already available.
Chapter 2.14.4 CompactPCI Serial Connectors P1..P5 on page 44 for a detailed description of the CompactPCI Serial connectors. If the G22 is used in a peripheral slot, the interfaces on the CompactPCI Serial connectors are switched off. MEN Mikro Elektronik GmbH...
Ethernet ports from the system slot are led to the first peripheral slot, the second to the second etc. and the first SATA interface to the eighth peripheral slot, the second to the seventh etc. See Figure 4, CompactPCI Serial backplane with filling order on page MEN Mikro Elektronik GmbH 20G022-00 E2 – 2014-04-10...
2.14.2 Implementation on the G22 The G22 supports up to six SATA interfaces, eight USB 2.0 ports (or four USB 2.0 and four USB 3.0), 1 DisplayPort, five PCI Express x1 links as well as two PEG x8 (PCI Express fat pipe) ports on the backplane.
Using the G22 as a Peripheral Board The G22 is designed to be a system or a peripheral slot CPU in a CompactPCI Serial system. Due to that it is possible to use more than one G22 board within a CPCI-S.0 system to build a redundant system or a cluster with more processing power.
