== Concept ==
FACE Module ('''F'''unction '''A'''nd '''C'''onnectivity '''E'''xtension '''M'''odule) designed as additional/optional system board providing extended functionality and IO connectivity options. The interface between main system board and FACE module implemented with high speed, low pitch, and high pin count board-to-board connectors (B2B). Connectors’ pinout including signals mapping and description described later in this chapter.

[[EXT2 connector HOST side pinout]]


== Layout ==
Host side extension connector’s footprints with respect to board geometry shown in the below layout captures. Host side extension connectors provide complete Host/FACE Module interface connectivity. FACE Module side may have either both or only one of the connectors, connecting only FACE Module relevant signals.
