® The Intel ® 5520 Chipset component is an I/O Hub (IOH.) The Intel ® 5520 Chipset IOH provides a connection point between various I/O components and Intel processors through ® the Intel QPI interface. The Intel ® 5520 Chipset IOH is capable of interfacing with up to 36 PCI Express* lanes, which can be configured in various combinations of x4, x8, x16, and limited x2 and x1 devices.
3.4.1 PCI Subsystem ® The primary I/O buses for the Intel Compute Module MFS5520VI are PCI Express* Gen1 and PCI Express* Gen2 with six independent PCI bus segments. PCI Express* Gen1 and Gen2 are dual-simplex point-to point serial differential low-voltage interconnects.
Intel® Compute Module MFS5520VI TPS Functional Architecture Four external connectors are located on the front of the compute module. One internal 2x5 header is provided, capable of supporting a low-profile USB solid state drive. Two ports are routed to the Integrated BMC to support rKVM.
