Connector Rows

The conga-TCA5 is connected to the carrier board via two 220-pin connectors (COM Express Type 6 pinout). These connectors are broken

down into four rows. The primary connector consists of rows A and B while the secondary connector consists of rows C and D.

5.1

The following subsystems can be found on the primary connector rows A and B.

5.1.1

The conga-TCA5 offers three PCI Express™ lanes on the A-B connector. The lanes support:

• up to 5 GT/s (Gen 2) speed

• a 3 x1 link configuration

• an optional 1 x2 + 1 x1 link configuration (requires a special/customized BIOS firmware)

Note

Variants equipped with PCIe switch support up to five PCIe lanes.

5.1.2

The conga-TCA5 offers a Gigabit Ethernet interface via an onboard Intel

full-duplex operation at 10/100/1000 Mbps and half-duplex operation at 10/100 Mbps.

Note

The GBE0_LINK# output is only active during a 100 megabit or 1 gigabit connection. It is not active during a 10 megabit connection. This is

a limitation of Ethernet controller, since it only has 3 LED outputs - ACT#, LINK100# and LINK1000#. The GBE0_LINK# signal is a logic AND

of the GBE0_LINK100# and GBE0_LINK1000# signals on the conga-TCA5 module.
