G-ST 500+
Internal I/O Functions
In addition to I/O connectors on the front/back panel, G-ST 500+ provides other useful features
via its on-board connectors, such as mini-PCIe sockets. In this section, we'll illustrate these in-
ternal I/O functions.
Dual Mode mSATA/ mini-PCIe socket
G-ST 500+ provides a dual mode mSATA/ mini-PCIe socket that is in compliance with mini-
PCIe specification rev. 1.2.
You can install either an mSATA SSD or mini-PCIe module into this socket and the system will
automatically detect and configure it to run PCIe or SATA signals. This mini-PCIe socket is de-
signed with SIM card support. With a SIM card installed, your system can access the internet
via your network provider‟s 3G/ 4G network. For wireless (WIFI/ 3G/ 4G) communication, mul-
tiple SMA antenna apertures can be located on the front and rear panel.
WARNING
Some off-the-shelf mini-PCIe 4G modules are not compliant to standard mini-PCIe
interface. They use 1.8V I/O signals instead of standard 3.3V I/O and may have sig-
nal conflict. Please consult with Geutebrück for compatibility when in doubt!
Installing an incompatible 4G module may damage the system or the module itself
may be damaged.
