Since January 2005 the SMD and manual soldering processes at MEN have already been completely lead-free. Between June 2004 and June 30, 2006 MEN’s selected component suppliers have changed delivery to RoHS- compliant parts. During this period any change and status was traceable through the MEN ERP system and the boards gradually became RoHS-compliant.

Chapter 2.8.3 mSATA Disk on page 31 Ethernet via rear I/O according to CompactPCI Serial The G20 offers the possibility to realize a different number of Ethernet ports at the rear via a special adapter card. In that case no CompactFlash or mSATA can be used and no battery is available to buffer the real time clock.
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com Getting Started Integrating the Board into a System You can use the following check list when installing the G20 in a system for the first time and with minimum configuration. Power-down the system.
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com Getting Started Troubleshooting at Start-up If you have any problems at start-up of the G20, you can start the board with UEFI default settings for troubleshooting. Please refer to Chapter 3 BIOS on page Configuring BIOS The G20 is equipped with an InsydeH2O UEFI framework.
88). Power Supply The G20 board is supplied with +12V only. The voltage range is +9 V up to +16 V (absolute maximum voltage). The voltage is monitored within these borders. The G20 board can optionally be supplied with +5V (+5%/-3%) standby voltage.
Intel chipsets which enables e.g. out-of-band (OOB) diagnostics, remote control, IDE-Redirect, Serial-over-LAN (SOL), agent presence checking and network traffic filtering. AMT is supported on the lower front Ethernet interface (ETH2) of the G20. For information on how to enable the AMT BIOS extension see Chapter 3 BIOS.
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com Functional Description Reset Behavior The G20 can be reset using the reset button on the front panel or the PRST# signal on the backplane. (See also Chapter 2.14 Reset Button on page 52.) Real-Time Clock The board includes a real-time clock connected to the chipset.
The memory bus is 2x72 bits wide (dual channel) and operates with up to 1066 MHz. 2.7.2 Boot Flash The G20 has an 64-Mbit SPI Serial Flash implemented as on-board Flash for BIOS data. 2.7.3 EEPROM The board has a 2-kbit serial EEPROM for factory data.
Functional Description Mass Storage The G20 offers the possibility to connect an mSATA disk (CompactFlash on the older board versions 02G020-00 and 02G020-01) and a microSD card on a small adapter card in the heat sink area which is assembled by standard.
Functional Description 2.8.2 microSD Card The G20 provides an onboard microSD card slot on the bottom side of the mSATA adapter card in the heat sink area. The slot is ready-to-use. The G20 is shipped without a microSD card installed.
Page 30
The Ethernet rear I/O card (e.g. GM1) also offers a microSD card slot. To install a microSD card, please stick to the following procedure. Power down your system and remove the G20 from the system. Put the board on a flat surface.
Installing an mSATA disk To install an mSATA disk, please stick to the following procedure. Power down your system and remove the G20 from the system. Put the board on a flat surface. Insert the mSATA disk carefully in a 30° angle.

The interface is compliant to the SATA generation 2 (3.0 Gb/s) specification and can be run in AHCI and RAID mode. Chapter 2.13 CompactPCI Serial on page 40 for the rear I/O pin assignment. MEN Mikro Elektronik GmbH 20G020-00 E5 – 2014-01-21...
Display Port Two DisplayPort interfaces can be accessed at the front panel. Using adapters two DVI or two HDMI interfaces are also possible. MEN offers a DisplayPort to DVI-D Adapter as an accessory. See MEN’s website for ordering information. In the following table you can find a list of adapters that have also been tested and can be used with the G20.
Power for connector (3.3 V, 500 mA) RETURN PWR Return for Power 2.9.2 Rear I/O The G20 provides a digital display interface on CompactPCI Serial connector P2. Chapter 2.13 CompactPCI Serial on page MEN Mikro Elektronik GmbH 20G020-00 E5 – 2014-01-21...
2.10 USB Interfaces The G20 provides fourteen USB 2.0 ports controlled by the QM57 platform controller hub. Two USB interfaces are routed to standard front-panel connectors, eight can be accessed on the CompactPCI Serial rear I/O connectors and two are led to the board-to-board connector for the Ethernet rear I/O adapter card (e.g.
0x 00 C0 3A 05 Cx xx - 0x 00 C0 3A 05 Fx xx • LAN2: where "00 C0 3A" is the MEN vendor code, "05" is the MEN product code. The last four digits depend on the interface and the serial number of the product. The serial number is added to the offset, for example for LAN1: 0x xx xx = 0x8000 + 0x002A = 0x 80 2A.
To achieve more flexibility, these interfaces are not implemented directly on the G20 but on a small adapter card (e.g. the GM1) which is equipped with the CompactPCI Serial connector P6. Two cards with 4 or 8 Ethernet interfaces are already available.
2.12.2 Implementation on G20 On G20 the two Gigabit Ethernet channels are permanently connected via two PCIe x1 links. Another five x1 links are available for use via rear I/O. One x1 link is led to the board-to-board connector for the Ethernet rear I/O card. See Chapter 2.13.4...
Ethernet ports from the system slot are led to the first peripheral slot, the second to the second etc. and the first SATA interface to the eighth peripheral slot, the second to the seventh etc. See Figure 5, CompactPCI Serial backplane with filling order on page MEN Mikro Elektronik GmbH 20G020-00 E5 – 2014-01-21...
2.13.2 Implementation on the G20 The G20 supports 6 SATA interfaces, 8 USB 2.0, 1 DisplayPort, five PCI Express x1 links as well as two PEG x8 (PCI Express fat pipe) ports on the backplane. Please note that slot 9 does not support PCI Express and slots 2 and 3 do not support SATA on a standard 9-slot CompactPCI Serial backplane with the G20 in the system slot.
