NVMe* Drive Population Rules for Intel® VROC
In order to support NVMe RAID and NVMe Management features, the optional Intel® VROC Key must be
installed on to the server board. With the Intel VROC key installed, specific drive population rules exist and
must be followed for proper support of the NVMe management features.
The backplane can support PCIe interfaces from the onboard OCuLink connectors on the server board,
and/or optional add-in Intel Tri-Mode RAID modules, PCIe Switch cards and Retimer cards. When cabling the
PCIe interfaces from two different PCIe interface sources to the backplane, the cables from each source must
be connected in defined drive sets of four (0,1,2,3) & (4,5,6,7) as shown in the following diagrams.
Note: The use of one or more OCuLink connectors on the server board to the backplane is considered a
single source.
