AM4024(E)
8.4 Installation of Per ipheral Devices
The AM4024(E) is designed to accommodate a SATA Flash Module or an RTC Backup Battery Module.
Prior to installation of a peripheral device, ensure that the safety requirements are met. Special atten-
tion must be paid to avoid touching any components that may be hot, such as heat sink, etc.
8.4.1 SATA Flash Module Installation
A Serial ATA Extension Module with up to 64 GB SATA NAND Flash Memory may be connected to the
AM4024(E) via the onboard connector J7.
This optionally available module must be physically installed on the AM4024(E) prior to installation of
the AM4024(E) in a system. During installation it is necessary to ensure that the SATA Flash module is
properly seated in the onboard connector J7, i.e. the pins are aligned correctly and not bent.
Before putting the AM4024(E) into operation, ensure that the boot priority is configured as required
for the application.
Note: If the RTC Backup Battery module is installed, the J7 interface is not available for the SATA
Flash module.
Note: Only qualified SATA Flash modules from Kontron are authorized for use with the
AM4024(E). Failure to comply with the above will void the warranty and may result in dam-
age to the board or the system.
