The sockets are mounted horizontally and accept M.2 AHCI or NVMe SSD modules in
2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110 sizes utilizing either the "M" or "B + M" key.

Temperature Sensors
To ensure the board operate at safe temperatures, the PCIE-6002 has a pair of LM75A
temperature sensors (at the inlet and outlet) along with an ADT7461A that provides the
internal PEX die temperature. These sensors cannot be directly accessed via the upstream
host processor, but can be accessed via a CPLD register. Also, there are typically
temperature sensors built into each M.2 AHCI or NVMe SSD module.
The following figure shows the location of the temperature sensors on the card.
