Page 16: Technical Reference - Connectors
Please Note The C20-SATA mezzanine module may be equipped with several 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 C20-SATA board. Characteristic features and the pin assignments of each connector are described on the following pages.
Page 17: I/O Connectors
Technical Information C20-SATA • SATA Dual-Drive Mezzanine Module I/O Connectors The C20-SATA is typically provided with several on-board connectors, prominently the SATA docking header(s).

Page 18: J2/J3 Sata Docking Header(S)
Technical Information C20-SATA • SATA Dual-Drive Mezzanine Module J2/J3 SATA Docking Header(s) The C20-SATA can be equipped with one or two 2.5-inch SATA drive(s), either hard disk (HDD), or silicon state (SSD). The 22-position SATA docking header(s) J2 and J3 allow for direct attachment of the drive(s), without cable assembly.
Page 19 Despite the SATA docking connectors are also provided with reserved pins assigned to +12V and +3.3V, only +5V is required for typical 2.5-inch SATA drives. As a C20-SATA stuffing option, +5V can be derived either from the carrier board, or the connector P2 (for external power supply).
Page 20: P1 Sata Cable Header
CPU Board PCB (Base Board) Since P1 is exclusive to J3 (bottom mount drive), P1 is available only in the single drive configuration of the C20-SATA. A right angled cable connector may be used for a minimum height assembly. © EKF -20- ekf.com...
Page 21: P2 External Power
As of current, 2.5-inch SATA drives require +5V only (P2 pin 1). P2 pin 4 (+12V) can be left open. In rare cases the external power source may deliver +12V only. For this situation the C20-SATA can be provided with an on-board DC/DC switched regulator, from +12V to +5V.
Page 22: Inter-Board Connector
4HP profile of the carrier board (single drive). Since the C20-SATA comes typically mounted as a unit together with the CPU carrier board, there is normally no need for the user to get access to the inter-board connector. It is described here as a reference only and for better understanding of the C20-SATA.
