Technical Information C43-SATA • SATA/USB Mezzanine Module
P-SATA1 - P-SATA4
The C43-SATA can be optionally populated with up to four horizontal mount latching SATA signal
headers , for system internal attachment of SATA drives. TX/RX designation of signals are shown
with respect to the additional SATA controller located on the carrier board. P-SATA1 and P-SATA4
are tied to the ICH/PCH southbridge of the CPU carrier board (P-SATA4 not available with
CCM-BOOGIE). P-SATA2 corresponds to the SATA channel 0 of the JMB362 controller on the
carrier board, and P-SATA3 is wired to the JMB362 SATA channel 1. The SATA ports P-SATA2 and
P-SATA3 can be used individually or as RAID 0/1 (different drivers).
Straight SATA cable assemblies are recommended for reliable industrial usage.

P-SATA4 is provided for future CPU boards based on a new Intel Platform Controller Hub
generation with additional SATA channels. P-SATA4 is not available concurrent to J-USB3 (space
restrictions).
When latching SATA cable assemblies are in use, the unlocking clip of the SATA cable connector
will exceed the 4HP profile of the carrier board and C43-SATA mezzanine card assembly. Although
this may be tolerable in some situations - be aware of a potential short-circuit condition on bottom
of the neighboured side board, possibly caused by the metallic clip surface!
