DX1-LYNX XMC Mezzanine Module
SATA II Controller & 1.8-Inch Solid State Drive (SSD)
The DX1-LYNX is a XMC style single-width mezzanine card, equipped with a dual-channel
PCI Express to SATA II controller, and one or two 1.8-inch Micro SATA solid state drives (SSD).
The SATA controller allows RAID or non RAID operation. As an alternate (assembly options)
to the on-board drive(s), each SATA channel can be used for attachment of external SATA storage
devices, either through the front bezel connectors (eSATA type), or via rear I/O (across the
P14 connector to a suitable host carrier board).
As of current, suitable on-board mounting Micro SATA solid state drives are available
with 64GB and beyond storage capacity, delivering sufficient space for installation
of any popular operating system.

A single drive will be mounted on the component side (side 1) of the mezzanine card
(facing the carrier board when module is engaged). As an option, a second drive can
be accommodated on the back side (module side 2, on top of the stack when mezzanine
card is engaged).
Flash technology based SATA drives, both SLC and also MLC architecture,
provide significant advantages compared to rotating
memory solutions (aka hard disk), e.g. less power consumption, faster data I/O transfers,
lower latency time, industrial temperature grade and superior immunity against shock and
vibration. Nevertheless also a hard drive with Micro SATA connector could be employed on
the DX1-LYNX, for potential cost savings.

The DX1-LYNX can accommodate one or even two 1.8-inch microSATA standard form factor drive(s)
according to the SFF-8144 specification, which results in a 5.0 mm maximum height,
and 78.5mm x 54.0mm dimensions.

|
A mounting frame is used to hold each drive, for extremely
rugged applications.
