Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS Functional Architecture
Revision 1.1 33
Intel order number G34153-003
Intel
®
Server Board S2600IP and Intel
®
Workstation Board W2600CR supports PCI-e slots from two
processors:
From first processor:

Slot 1: PCIe Gen3 x16 connector

Slot 2: PCIe Gen3 x8 connector

Slot 3: PCIe Gen3 x16 connector
From second processor:

Slot 4: PCIe Gen3 x8 connector

Slot 5: PCIe Gen3 x16 connector

Slot 6: PCIe Gen3 x8 connector

Slot 7: PCIe Gen3 x16 connector

Slot 8: PCIe Gen2 x4 electrical with x8 physical connector.
Note : System will have video output on PCIe slots from first processor by default. If need add-in
video card output on slots from second processor, please refer System Service guide to change
Bios setup.
3.2.3.2 4.2.3.1.2 DMI2 Interface to the PCH
The platform requires an interface to the legacy Southbridge (PCH) which provides basic legacy
functions required for the server platform and operating systems. Since only one PCH is required
and allowed for the system, any sockets which do not connect to PCH would use this port as a
standard x4 PCI Express* 2.0 interface.
3.2.3.3 4.2.3.1.3 Integrated IOAPIC
Provides support for PCI Express* devices implementing legacy interrupt messages without
interrupt sharing.
3.2.3.4 4.2.3.1.4 Non Transparent Bridge
PCI Express* non-transparent bridge (NTB) acts as a gateway that enables high performance,
low overhead communication between two intelligent subsystems; the local and the remote
subsystems. The NTB allows a local processor to independently configure and control the local
subsystem, provides isolation of the local host memory domain from the remote host memory
domain while enabling status and data exchange between the two domains.
