Introduction Introduction PCIE-6002 Installation and Use (6806800U70B)
The environmental, thermal, and power requirements, and the installation and removal procedures of the card are also explained in this chapter. Unpacking and Inspecting PCIE-6002 Card NOTICE Damage of Circuits Electrostatic discharge and incorrect installation and removal of the card can damage circuits or shorten their life.
Make sure the card is thoroughly inspected before shipment. If any damage has occurred during transportation please contact our support group via https://www.smartembedded.com/ec/support/ Environmental, Thermal, and Power Requirements This section contains the environmental, thermal, and power requirements of the PCIE-6002 card. PCIE-6002 Installation and Use (6806800U70B)
2.3.2 Power Requirements The PCIE-6002 payload card accepts single and double-sided modules up to a power consumption of 10W per module. The module interface must comply with the NVMe (NVM Express) standard. In case of MaxCore platforms, the MaxCore system reads the thermal sensors and provides sufficient cooling.
Pin Damage If the PCIE-6002 is not fully aligned with the interface in the backplane, too much force may twist the pins on the card or backplane. Do not exert too much force when you insert the card.
PCIE-6002 provides four (4) sets of the hardware as shown in Figure 1-1. To install M.2 AHCI or NVMe SSD modules on a PCIE-6002 card: 1. Install M2.5 screw and standoff in the PCB hole location based on the length of the M.2 module.

ESD strap to an electrical ground (For more details, refer to the section Precautions on page 29). 2. Identify the system in which the PCIE-6002 card is to be installed. 3. Remove the system cover. For detailed information about the PCIe card installation, refer to MaxCore product documentation.
Hardware Preparation and Installation 4. Insert the PCIE-6002 card into the PCIe slot, secure it, and ensure that the card is properly fitted in the PCIe slot. 5. Close the system cover and then power on the system. NOTICE Make sure that the card has enough air flow after closing the system with the cover.

The following figure depicts the functional block diagram of PCIE-6002 card. Figure 3-1 PCIE-6002 Block Diagram Power Both 3.3V and 12V power are provided to the PCIE-6002 through the PCIe gold fingers (through the +3.3V Aux and +12V rails respectively). PCIE-6002 Installation and Use (6806800U70B)
M.2/NGFF Card Sockets The primary purpose of the PCIE-6002 is to extend the storage capabilities of the MaxCore chassis by providing four M.2/NGFF card sockets for solid state drives. PCIE-6002 supports all standard module sizes for Socket 3 (2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110) for both single and dual-sided modules (S1-S3 and D0-D5).
Figure 3-2 Supported M.2 or NGFF Module Keying Temperature Sensors To ensure the board operate at safe temperatures, the PCIE-6002 has a pair of LM75A temperature sensors (at the inlet and outlet) along with an ADT7461A that provides the internal PEX die temperature. These sensors cannot be directly accessed via the upstream host processor, but can be accessed via a CPLD register.
Functional Description Clock Distribution The PCIE-6002 utilizes the PCI Express common clock architecture with the upstream host providing the reference clock. A low-jitter fanout buffer is used to provide this clock to the PEX and each M.2 or NGFF socket. A 32.768kHz PCI Express suspend clock is generated on-board and provided to each M.2 or NGFF socket.
This chapter contains information about the controls, indicators, and connectors of a PCIE-6002 card. Connectors The PCIE-6002 card comes with a PCIe x8 edge connector. This edge connector is compatible with either 8-lane or 16-lane PCI Express 3.0 slots. 4.2.1 PCIE-6002 Face Plate View The following figure shows the face plate view of PCIE-6002 card.
