MezIO-R11: SATA Port for 2.5" HDD/SSD
MezIO-R11Works with POC-300 Platforms from Neousys
Main Features:
- Accommodates one 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD
Frequently Asked Questions
The module provides 1x internal SATA port for a 2.5" HDD/SSD, and 1x full-size Mini-PCIe socket with SIM card support (carries both mini-PCIe and USB signals).
Yes. The Mini-PCIe socket includes a SIM card socket, so an off-the-shelf 3G/4G module can be installed to connect the host system to the internet. The host system provides multiple SMA antenna apertures on the front and back panel for the antenna connections.
No. Some off-the-shelf Mini-PCIe 4G modules do not comply with the standard Mini-PCIe interface. They may use 1.8V I/O signals instead of the standard 3.3V I/O and can have signal conflicts on certain pins. Verify your module's pin definition or consult Neousys for compatibility before installing, since an incompatible module can damage the system or the module itself.
MezIO is an interface for integrating application-oriented I/O functions into an embedded system. It delivers computer signals, power rails, and control signals through a high-speed connector, and uses a 3-point mounted mezzanine structure for mechanical reliability. This module attaches to a host system that incorporates the MezIO interface (e.g. POC-120MZ) via its board-to-board connector.
The module has one internal SATA port, supporting a single 2.5" HDD or SSD.
The full-size Mini-PCIe socket carries both mini-PCIe and USB signals, along with a SIM socket. Pin definitions include power rails (+3.3Vaux, +1.5V), UIM (SIM) signals, USB D+/D-, PCIe reference clock and data lanes (REFCLK, PERn0/PERp0, PETn0/PETp0), and WWAN/WLAN/WPAN LED signals.
How-to Guides
- Locate the internal SATA port provided by the module.
- Connect a 2.5" HDD or SSD to this SATA port; the module supports one drive on this interface.
- Verify the pin definition and voltage requirements (3.3V I/O) of your Mini-PCIe module before installation; some off-the-shelf modules use non-standard 1.8V I/O and can cause pin conflicts or damage.
- Insert the Mini-PCIe module into the full-size Mini-PCIe socket.
- Insert a SIM card into the SIM socket associated with the Mini-PCIe slot.
- Connect the module's antenna leads to the host system's SMA antenna apertures on the front or back panel.
