If an SBC vendor s board does not or cannot support one or more of the interfaces it should be clearly marked in the data sheet and technical manuals Power The MiniBlade specification provides for power to be supplied on designated pins Ground return is supplied through individual pins in each bank populated The power available to a MiniBlade module is shown below although the processor board chosen may also limit the total power available to modules somewhat less than the MiniBlade specification Power requirements in excess of the SBC s available power specification or greater than those listed below for the system level definition must be supplied by a secondary connector on the MiniBlade module itself In any case it is up to the system integrator to ensure that the power the processor supplies to the MiniBlade connector s the number of modules and total power consumption for all modules are reconciled and conform to the system available resources The following tables describe the typical power a host systems should make available for each MiniBlade module in the system MiniBlade modules that require power in excess of these ratings should document such requirements in the module s datasheet or user manual MiniBlade Specification Revision 1 00 Copyright 2009 SFF SIG 12 4 1 MiniBlade System Power Specifications MiniBlade module Host supplied BG Interface EO GOO Voltage tolerance
