Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
A sudden discharge of electrostatic electricity can destroy static-sensitive devices
or micro-circuitry. Proper packaging and grounding techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage. Always take the following precautions:
1. Transport boards in static-safe containers such as boxes or bags.
2. Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-
free stations.
3. Always be properly grounded when touching a sensitive board, component, or
assembly.
iv
Themis Computer
4. Store electrostatic-sensitive boards in protective packaging or on conductive
foam.
Grounding Methods
Guard against electrostatic damage at workstations by following these steps:
1. Cover workstations with approved anti-static material. Provide a wrist strap
connected to a work surface and properly grounded tools and equipment.
2. Use anti-static mats, heel straps, or air ionizers to give added protection.
3. Handle electrostatic-sensitive components, boards, and assemblies by the case
or the PCB edge.
4. Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
5. Turn off power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or
test equipment.
NanoPAK® User Manual
6. Keep the work area free of non-conductive materials such as ordinary plastic as-
sembly aids and Styrofoam.
7. Use field service tools, s uch as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuums that are con-
ductive.
8. Always place drives and boards PCB-assembly-side down on the foam.

1.2System Description
The NanoPAK® is a self-contained SBC module containing a carrier board and a
CPU mezzanine card using the industry standard COMExpress® form factor and
Type 1 pin assignments. The CPU mezzanine card is mounted on the carrier board,
which interfaces the processor module with the 69-pin external connector and provides support including additional I/O, buffering, FLASH, etc. The IO logic on the
carrier board includes an HD Audio port provided by an ALC889 codec, two native
serial ports, and a Solid-State Disk drive attached to one of the three SATA ports of
the SBC, which can serve as a boot device for the system. The CPU mezzanine card
uses one of the processors listed in Figure 1-2. For connectivity to I/O devices, the
CPU will be paired with a PCH as listed in Figure 1-2. The BIOS is contained in a
flash device connected to the PCH over the SPI interface. All power, control, management, and I/O signals go through the external 69-pin connector.
The system is described by its complete Part Number, as in the following example,
according to the description in Figure 1-2, NanoPAK Ordering Information, on page
1-3. For instance, a system with a part number of TSY-215NP-322-NNANVN has

Installation and Operation
2.1Applying Power
The NanoPAK® requires an input voltage between +18 and +36 VDC. Voltage is
converted to +12VDC, -12VDC, +3.3VDC and +5VDC. These voltages are present
on the power rails as long as input voltage is applied.
Caution: When the I/O cable is attached, if the power is already applied to the
power contacts, power will be applied to the system. Before connecting the I/O Cable, insure that no power is applied to the power contacts. T ake care to apply power
after the I/O Cable is attached. Attaching the cable with power on the contacts could
cause damage to the system
Themis Computer

NanoPAK® User ManualVersion 1.0
2.1.1Provide Adequate Cooling
Caution: This product, physically small in form, has a very small surface area,
making it difficult to dissipate the heat generated when in operation for some mod-
®
els, without using a heat sink. Operating the NanoPAK
without adequate cooling
could result in exceeding temperature specifications, which may result in component failure. The many different configurations and applications for our product
make it impracticable to supply one standard heat dissipating solution. The heat dissipation method employed should suit the intended application. When operating in
temporary installations, such as a testing setup in a lab, avoid operation for more
than a few minutes without a heat sink attached. For a suggested testing setup, see
Appendix B, "Accessory Equipment".
2.1.2Configure Power
It may be necessary to configure the power settings for the operating system in use,
to configure the Power Button feature, and to either provide for, or avoid, the processor going into sleep mode. In either case, the user should check these settings to
determine if they are correct for the use intended. Themis recommends the following settings.
2.1.2.1Power Button
A Power Button feature provides for reboot/shutdown without removing all power
from the system. To configure this feature in Windows 7, find the Power Options
selection in Control Panel.

2.3.1USB Ports
Four USB 2.0 ports are provided. USB0 and USB1 support a greater current load
than allowed by the USB standard. The peripheral attached to these ports may draw
a maximum 2A current instead of the usual 500mA, but only temporarily, and may
not be sustained. USB2 and USB3 have standard current limitation of 500mA.
2.3.2Serial Ports
Two native legacy serial ports from x86 architecture are available on the 69-pin IO
connector.
2—Installation and Operation
2.3.2.1COM A
COM A is configurable via solder bead setting for RS232, RS422, or RS485 mode.
In RS232 mode, it supports modem control signals (RTS, CTS, DCD, DTR). (In this
mode, the GPO/GPI ports share the same pins on the connector with the modem control signals to make connections available for the SAT A pairs. This is reflected in the
following table. For systems with no SATA provisions, the GPI/O signals do not
share pins.) In RS422 or full-duplex RS485 mode, only the transmit and receive differential pairs are provided. In RS485 half-duplex mode, one pair, (common for
transmit and receive), is active. Six pins of J1, the 69-pin external connector, are
assigned to attach a serial device to COM A. The following table shows how they
are used in each mode. (See Table 2-3).

There are 4 General Purpose Inputs and 4 General Purpose Outputs, (GPIO), available at the 69-pin connector J1. (On systems with SATA capability, 2 of each of
these ports, GPI2/GPO2 and GPI3/GPIO3, share pins on J1 with the RS232 modem
control signals in order to make connections available for the SATA pairs.) These
signals are at 3.3V logic level, routed to and from the COMExpress® connector on

The Ethernet port is routed from the SBC module to the IO connector through the
COMExpress® connector on the carrier board. The carrier board supports 1Gb/s,
100Mb/s and 10Mb/s, but only the speeds supported by the SBC module will be
available at the external connector. Link and Activity LEDs on the front panel indicate connection and link speed. The Activity LED blinks at different rates depending
on the link speed.
The VGA port comes straight from the SBC module, with filtering and ESD protection provided on the carrier board. DDC interface and VGA power is provided. The
DDC interface allows the CPU to probe the monitor and download its display capabilities. VGA power can be either 3.3V or 5V, set by factory solder bead setting, with
fuse protection.
The carrier board hosts a 32GB Solid State Disk (SSD) attached to the SATA0 link
of the CPU module. This device can sustain a 3GB/s speed rate. It complements the
storage on the CPU module itself, (1GB DDR3 SDRAM and 2GB FLASH), and can
be used as the boot device for the system. Storage access activity is indicated by an
LED on the front panel.

• An external battery may have either the exact voltage required by COMExpress® specification, (fixed range mode), or a voltage between 9V and 36V,
(wide range mode). In the latter case, an LDO DC/DC converter steps down
the external battery input to 3V. This condition is set by solder bead SB21 setting as indicated in Table 2-7 and in T able A-5, "Solder Bead Settings," on page
A-11 of Appendix A.

Caution: When the “fixed range mode” is set, the LDO DC/DC converter is not
present in the circuit. Therefore, a “wide range” voltage applied to the external battery circuit will cause excessively high voltages to be applied to the power rails and
will cause damage to the components of the SBC. When the “fixed range mode” is
set, ensure that only in-spec voltage is applied to the external battery circuit, (2.5V
min to 3.3V max).
