62 MegaRAC® M300V Card Implementer’s Reference and User’s Guide

Possible UART Configurations

There are three possible configurations.

Configuration Description

1

MegaRAC M300V card not present. The motherboard’s serial connector behaves as normal.

2

MegaRAC M300V card is present and the MegaRAC M300V card is on SoL mode. The MegaRAC M300V
card’s UART0 signals are routed to the motherboards serial port connector.

3

MegaRAC M300V card is present and the M300V is in non-SoL mode. The motherboard’s UART0 TXD
and RXD signals are routed to the motherboards serial port connector through the MegaRAC M300V card.

MegaRAC M300V Card Not Present

MCARD_DETECT_L= Logic High
MCARD_AUX_SoL_CTRL_L= Logic High

All signals from the motherboard UART are routed to the motherboard’s serial port connector.
In this configuration the X4 De-MUX is from Y to B and the X5 MUX direction is from A to Y.
