USB-C (Power/Data)
The USB Type C connector (Molex 105450-0101-SD) serves as the primary connection between the Motherboard and the I/O Board. The connector is rated at 30V withstand voltage and a current carrying capacity of up to 5A. The port is a non-standard USB-C port and is only intended to connect the Motherboard to the I/O Board. The port provides 24V and up to 4A current directly to the Motherboard from the I/O Board without Power Delivery (PD) handshaking.

Since reversibility is not required, the CC1 and CC2 signals will be re-purposed for the following functions:
| Signal | Pin | Function |
|---|---|---|
| CC1 (GPIO1) | A5 | Power Status from Motherboard |
| CC2 (GPIO2) | B5 | Display Port Hot Plug Detect |
The port does not require an MUX, but requires independent Redrivers on the USB 3.0 and DP signals to support long cable lengths.
