Chapter 3 Signals and Pinout Tables
42 Reference Manual COM830
NOTE Some signals have special functionality during the reset process. They may
bootstrap some basic important functions of the module.

TYPE[
0:2]# The TYPE pins indicate to the Carrier Board the Pin-out Type that is
implemented on the module. The pins are tied on the module to
either ground (GND) or are no-connects (NC). For Pinout Type 1,
these pins are don’t care (X).
PDS TYPE[0:2]#
signals are
available on all
modules
following the
Type 2-5 Pinout
standard.
The COM 830 is
based on the
COM Express
Type 2 pinout
therefore these
pins are not
connected.

The Carrier Board should implement combinatorial logic that
monitors the module TYPE pins and keeps power off (e.g
deactivates the ATX_ON signal for an ATX power supply) if an
incompatible module pin-out type is detected.
