2.5.2 PMEM and SATA Module
The PMEM/SATA extension slot allows assembly of either a PMEM or SATA module which are
available as upgrade kits for ATCA-7365-CE. PMEM module consists of an SRAM and a flash
memory. The SRAM has a capacity of up to 16 MB and can be used as persistent memory, i.e. a
memory that holds up the contents during reset. The flash memory has a capacity of up to 64
MB organized as two memory banks. The S/F memory module connects to the blade's PCI
subsystem. It can be configured via an FPGA register.
The SATA module consists of a Solid State Disc of up to 128 GB and a SATA controller and
connects physically to ICH10 SATA Port #5.
The extension module is mechanically fastened to the blade with two screws. The location of
the two corresponding mounting holes as well as the S/F memory module connector is shown
in
Figure 2-2 on page 52 .
The PMEM and SATA module are accessory kits and are not part of the default ATCA-7365. The
following procedure describes the steps to install/remove the PMEM/SATA module.
Installation Procedure
To install a PMEM/SATA module, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the blade from the system as described in Installing and Removing the Blade
on page 60 .
2. Plug the PMEM/SATA module on the blade so that the module's standoffs fit in the
blade's mounting holes.
3. Fasten the PMEM/SATA module to the blade using the two screws that previously had
fixed the S/F memory module to the blade.
Damage of Circuits
Electrostatic discharge and incorrect module installation and removal can damage circuits
or shorten their life.
Before touching the module or electronic components, make sure that you are working in
an ESD-safe environment.
