Connect Tech SSD/104 SATA User Manual

Using SATA Port from the PCIe/104 Type 2 Bus

The SSD/104 SATA board has the ability to source its SATA channels directly from the PCIe/104 Type Bus. This can be done via 0 ohm 0402 sized resistor population options on the PCB and allows users to select from the TOP or BOTTOM side signals from the PCIe/104 bus. If you would like to order an SSD/104 SATA product from Connect Tech pre-configured to use PCIe/104 Type 2, please contact support@connecttech.com . Otherwise the follow procedures can be performed by the end-user at their own risk.

NOTE: These actions should only be done by trained technicians with adequate tools to be working with 0402 sized parts.

To connect SATA Port 0 from the PCIe/104 bus in a STACK UP configuration to mSATA0 please perform the following steps:

-REMOVE (R11& R12) (R15& R16)

-ADD (R9, R10) (R13, R14) (R7, R8) (R4, R8)

To connect SATA Port 0 from the PCIe/104 bus in a STACK DOWN configuration to mSATA0 please perform the following steps:

-REMOVE (R11& R12) (R15& R16)

-ADD (R9, R10) (R13, R14) (R3, R5) (R1, R2)

To connect SATA Port 1 from the PCIe/104 bus in a STACK UP configuration to mSATA1 please perform the following steps:

-REMOVE (R27& R28) (R31& R32)

-ADD (R25, R26) (R29, R30) (R17, R18) (R19, R20)

To connect SATA Port 1 from the PCIe/104 bus in a STACK DOWN configuration to mSATA1 please perform the following steps:

-REMOVE (R27& R28) (R31& R32)

-ADD (R25, R26) (R29, R30) (R21, R22) (R23, R24)
