USB[0:3] pool must be used along with the SuperSpeed pins. COMh-caRP support up to 8x USB 2.0, 2 USB 4.0 and 2x USB 3.2 Gen 2 To support USB4 on USB0 SS or USB1 SS USB2 ports can not be swapped. USB0 SS has to use USB2 port 0 and USB1 SS has to use USB2 port1.
If more than one active display port is connected, then the processor frequency may be lower than base frequency in thermally limited scenarios. COMh-caRP supports the full range of COM-HPC addressed graphic interfaces. Additionally there is also graphical use of both USB4 interfaces possible.
Mini-PCIe or M.2 cards. Care has to be taken that the logic I/O levels match up. The UART interface on COMh-caRP is by default driven from the embedded controller. It can be reconnected on a custom version to the PCH's UART.
COM-HPC Client and Server modules can support a General Purpose SPI interface (GP_SPI) to connect multiple peripherals. The COMh GP_SPI interface on COMh-caRP is handle by the embedded controller. There is an option to handle it by PCH as well.
It is also possible to boot the BIOS over eSPI. The eSPI bus runs from a 1.8V supply. COM-HPC does not support LPC. Booting from eSPI is not yet supported on COMh-caRP. Using eSPI devices on the carrier will require a customized BIOS version.
Table 25: ACPI Power States Function Not all ACPI defined power states are available. The COMh-caRP supports ACPI 6.0 and the power states only. Systems that support the low-power idle state do not use power states S3 and S4. To power on from states S3, S4 and S5 use...
The COMh-caRP supports typical RTC values of 3 V and less than 10 μA. When powered by the main power supply on-module regulators generate the RTC voltage, to reduce RTC current draw. The RTC’s battery voltage range is 2.8 V to 3.47 V.

COMh-caRP User Guide 3.11 MTBF The MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure) values were calculated using a combination of the manufacturer’s test data (if available) and the Telcordia (Bellcore) issue 2 calculation for the remaining parts. The Telcordia calculation used is “” in a ground benign, controlled environment. This particular method takes into account varying temperature and stress data and the system is assumed to have not been burned-in.
4. COM-HPC Interface Connector The COMh-caRP is a COM-HPC® Client module containing two 400-pin connectors J1 and J2; each with 4 rows called rows and all rows are named A to D on the primary connector J1 and E to H on the secondary connector J2.
COMh-caRP User Guide To protect external power lines of peripheral devices, make sure that the wires have the right diameter to withstand the maximum available current.
