Connect Tech COM Express Carrier Boards - User Manual
Introduction
Connect Tech’s COM Express Carrier Boards are small feature rich, super flexible carrier boards that
integrate with any industry standard type II COM Express module. These bus-independent carrier boards
offer easy connection to SATA HDD, USB, Ethernet, HDMI Video, LVDS Video, VGA video, RS-232 and
RS485 serial.
Connect Tech’s COM Express carrier boards are ideal for compact and high performance computing
applications in mobile entertainment, kiosks, digital signage, automation, ROVs and gaming applications.
ESD Warning
6
Electronic components and circuits are sensitive to
ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). When handling any circuit
board assemblies including Connect Tech COM Express carrier
assemblies, it is recommended that ESD safety precautions be
observed. ESD safe best practices include, but are not limited
to:
Leaving circuit boards in their antistatic packaging
until they are ready to be installed.
Using a grounded wrist strap when handling circuit
boards, at a minimum you should touch a grounded
metal object to dissipate any static charge that may be
present on you.
Only handling circuit boards in ESD safe areas, which
may include ESD floor and table mats, wrist strap
stations and ESD safe lab coats.
Avoiding handling circuit boards in carpeted areas.
Try to handle the board by the edges, avoiding contact
with components.

* J10 Provides the CS4207 Audio Codec with the Sense input:
The Sense input is used by Audio Codecs to detect the presence of an audio plug being installed into an audio jack,
via a switch inside the jack. The Audio jacks on the COM Express carrier do NOT have this switch, so we have
provided these jumpers to mimic that function.
Not all operating systems require this sense input to be satisfied, for example audio under Ubuntu 10.04 LTS will
function fine without the Jumpers, however audio under Windows XP will not.

Description
The CCG0xx series of COM Express adapters features four serials ports. Port1 and Port2 are standard RS232 and
Port3 and Port4 are RS485. The SMSC SCH3114 Super I/O chip is used to facilitate the serial I/O. This chip requires
both an LPC bus connection from the module and BIOS support to operate. Ask your module vendor or examine
your module documentation to determine of BIOS support is available for the SCH3114.

Connect Tech COM Express Carrier Boards - User Manual
Introduction
Connect Tech’s COM Express Carrier Boards are small feature rich, super flexible carrier boards that
integrate with any industry standard type II COM Express module. These bus-independent carrier boards
offer easy connection to SATA HDD, USB, Ethernet, HDMI Video, LVDS Video, VGA video, RS-232 and
RS485 serial.
Connect Tech’s COM Express carrier boards are ideal for compact and high performance computing
applications in mobile entertainment, kiosks, digital signage, automation, ROVs and gaming applications.
ESD Warning
6
Electronic components and circuits are sensitive to
ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). When handling any circuit
board assemblies including Connect Tech COM Express carrier
assemblies, it is recommended that ESD safety precautions be
observed. ESD safe best practices include, but are not limited
to:
Leaving circuit boards in their antistatic packaging
until they are ready to be installed.
Using a grounded wrist strap when handling circuit
boards, at a minimum you should touch a grounded
metal object to dissipate any static charge that may be
present on you.
Only handling circuit boards in ESD safe areas, which
may include ESD floor and table mats, wrist strap
stations and ESD safe lab coats.
Avoiding handling circuit boards in carpeted areas.
Try to handle the board by the edges, avoiding contact
with components.

The Sense input is used by Audio Codecs to detect the presence of an audio plug being installed into an audio jack,
via a switch inside the jack. The Audio jacks on the COM Express carrier do NOT have this switch, so we have
provided these jumpers to mimic that function.
Not all operating systems require this sense input to be satisfied, for example audio under Ubuntu 10.04 LTS will
function fine without the Jumpers, however audio under Windows XP will not.
