NVMe VPP Bus Connector
A NVMe VPP Bus connector is located at JNVVPP1 on the motherboard. The NVMe VPP
connector provides hot plug support for the NVMe devices, which will allow the user to replace
NVMe devices without shutting down and powering off the system.
PCIe 3.0 M.2-H1/M.2-H2 Slots
Two PCIe 3.0/SATA3 Hybrid M.2 slots are located at M.2-H1 and M.2-H2 on the motherboard.
These M.2/SATA3 Hybrid slots support PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 NVMe/SATA3 SSDs in the 2280 and
22110 form factors. To accommodate the 2280 and 22110 form factors, two M.2 mounting
holes (MH17/MH18) are provided on the motherboard. Use Mounting Hole MH17 for M.2-H2
slot support, and MH18 for M.2-H1 slot support. M.2 allows for a variety of card sizes,
increased functionality, and spatial efficiency.
MCIO NVMe Connectors
MCIO NVMe connectors, located at P1_NVME 0~3 and P2_NVME 0~3, provide eight PCIe
5.0 x8 connections on the motherboard. P1_NVME 0~3 connections are supported by CPU1,
and P2_NVME 0~3 connections supported by CPU2. Use these MCIO connectors to support
high-speed PCIe storage devices.
Note: When installing an NVMe device on a motherboard, please be sure to connect
the first NVMe port (P1_NVME0) first for your system to work properly.
SATA 3.0 0~7 Ports
A SATA 3.0 header, located at JS1, supports eight SATA 3.0 connections (SATA0~7) on the
motherboard. These SATA 3.0 ports are supported by the Intel C741 PCH chipset. Connect
a proper SATA cable to JS1 to use SATA 3.0 connections.
Low-profile (LP) SIim SAS I/O Connector
A low-profile slim SAS I/O connector, located on JIO1, provides dedicated BMC LAN/USB/
VGA support on the rear side of the motherboard.
