Page 11: Front Panel
• ekf.com Typically the carrier board CPU and the C23-SATA share a common 3U/8HP front panel. There may be reasons for further widening of the front panel (e.g. 12HP width); this would provide additional space e.g. for another serial port connector (CU-series module). Please discuss your needs for an individual solution with EKF.

CCD-CALYPSO, CCG-RUMBA and the CCM-BOOGIE. The C23-SATA side board mounts on top (at the right side) of the carrier card. By default, the C23-SATA shares an 8HP (~40.6mm) front panel with the CPU carrier board. Furthermore, custom specific front panel options are available on request.
Page 24: Com-A (Rs-232/Rs-485)
The C23-SATA is equipped with three serial transceivers. This is a short description of TR1 (COM port A), which corresponds to the lower front panel D-Sub 9 connector. The transceiver is a Sipex/EXAR SP334 and can be operated in either TIA/EIA-232 mode (AKA RS-232), or in TIA/EIA-485 mode (AKA RS-485).
Page 25 Technical Information C23-SATA • PCIe to SATA RAID Controller Mezzanine Card For selection of the TR1 operating mode, a five position dual row pin header is provided, named J-SER. A single jumper selects between the following transfer characteristics: J-SER 240.2.04 © EKF ekf.com...

CTS2 (3) DTR2 (3) RI2 (3) The C23-SATA is equipped with two ADM211 serial transceivers, assigned to COM-B and COM-C. As an option however, the front panel position for COM-C may be occupied by the audio connector. © EKF -26-...
Page 27: Audio Connector
S/PDIF IN D-GND The C23-SATA can be equipped with either an AC'97 audio codec (Realtek ALC203) for analog and digital audio support, or HD Audio codec (ALC262) at the users choice, matching the particular CPU carrier board in use. Both AC'97 or HD Audio data stream is derived from the ICH (southbridge) on the CPU carrier board.
Page 28: On-Board Connectors
Technical Information C23-SATA • PCIe to SATA RAID Controller Mezzanine Card On-Board Connectors The C23-SATA can be equipped with several on-board connectors. Some of these connectors are available as an option only or exclusive to each other, and therefore may not be functional or even present on your actual board.

Technical Information C23-SATA • PCIe to SATA RAID Controller Mezzanine Card P-KM As an option, the C23-SATA is available with a pin header that provides the legacy PS/2 keyboard and mouse signals, derived from the on-board SIO component. A suitable cable harness or small PCB would be needed in addition, for translation to the PS/2 style DIN round connector(s).
Page 32: P-Sp4
P-SP4 (TTL-level on all signals). P-SP4 is suitable for attachment of an EKF CU-series PHY module via a micro ribbon flat cable assembly. A PHY module is a transceiver from TTL level signals to a specific symmetric or asymmetric interface standard, e.g. EIA- 485 or RS-232E, with or w/o galvanic isolation.

Technical Information C23-SATA • PCIe to SATA RAID Controller Mezzanine Card P-USB The C23-SATA can be equipped with an USB type A receptacle for attachment of system internal devices. The connector is a R/A style jack in order to maintain the 4HP envelope of the mezzanine card.
Page 36: On-Board Jumpers
Technical Information C23-SATA • PCIe to SATA RAID Controller Mezzanine Card On-Board Jumpers Most options on the C23-SATA are stuffing options, so there are only 2 jumpers which are available for user interaction, J-RES (force reset) and J-FWH2 (select Firmware Hub).
Page 37: Inter-Board Connectors
P-PCIe (1-Lane PCI Express) connectors. All inter-board connectors are situated at the bottom of the C23-SATA and establish the data path and power link to the carrier board CPU. As the C23-SATA comes typically mounted as a unit together with the CCG-RUMBA or another CPU carrier board, there is normally no need for the user to get access to any of the inter-board connectors.
