Page 20: Technical Reference
Please Note The PCZ-NVM mezzanine module may be equipped with several on-board connectors for system internal usage. Not all of these connectors may be present on a particular board. Be sure to specify your individual needs when ordering the PCZ-NVM board.
Page 21: Front Panel Elements
Technical Information • PCZ-NVM • CPU Expansion Side Card Front Panel Elements As of current, suitable CPU carrier boards for use together with the PCZ-NVM side card are the SC4-CONCERTO and SC5-FESTIVAL. The PCZ-NVM side board mounts on top (at the right side) of the CPU card.
Page 22: Com-A/B
Technical Information • PCZ-NVM • CPU Expansion Side Card COM-A/B The PCZ-NVM is provided with an on-board PCI Express® to quad port UART bridge (Diodes/Pericom PI7C9X7954). Two asynchronous serial interfaces are available via the front panel (EIA/TIA 232). The other two (TTL-level) can be used across the mezzanine connector FIO by means of the C32-FIO mezzanine board (12HP front panel assembly).
Page 23: Displayport
The PCZ-NVM front panel is provided with a third DP connector. The related PCZ-NVM DisplayPort video signals are passed from the CPU carrier board through the HSE2 inter-board mezzanine connector to the side card. Independent operation of multiple displays (e.g.
Page 24 Specified by the VESA DisplayPort connector standard is a dedicated power pin 20 (+3.3V 0.5A). Both the PCZ-NVM (source side) and a DP monitor (sink side) must provide power via this pin. A VESA specified standard DisplayPort cable however must not connect the pins 20 of both cable ends, in order to avoid a back driving conflict.

Page 31 M.2 sockets depends on several conditions, e.g. USB powered devices attached to the PCZ-NVM and C32-FIO. Thus, very demanding SSDs might require higher power than can be provided by the carrier card. Additional power can be applied either via the backplane connector J1 or by means of the ATX auxiliary power connector.
Page 32: Inter-Board (Mezzanine) Connectors
The PCZ-NVM is equipped with 2 inter-board connectors. These are the HSE1 (4-lane PCI Express® & USB) and the HSE2 (4-lane PCI Express® & DisplayPort) connectors. The host CPU inter-board connectors are situated at the bottom of the PCZ-NVM and establish the data path and power link to the carrier board CPU.

+3.3V for the M.2 sockets). On a backplane with the system slot (CPU card) right aligned, the PCZ-NVM board and its J1 connector would be out of the backplane shape (however a custom backplane with an additional slot could solve this issue). In such a system the +5V power rail would be sourced via the mezzanine connectors HSE1/2 only.
