PCIE-6001 Card Configuration Example
A.1 Configuration Example
This section provides information needed to configure M.2 AHCI or NVMe SSDs on a
PCIE-6001 payload card to the CPUs on the host PCIe cards in the SMART Embedded
Computing MaxCore™ system.
A.1.1 SMART EC MaxCore System
The System Services Framework (SSF) management system provides the MaxCore
operator console. SSF enables you to connect each installed M.2 AHCI/NVMe SSD on a
PCIE-6001 to any CPU on a SharpServer™ PCIE-7410 card or on a SharpStreamer™ Pro
PCIE-7210 card within the same MaxCore system.
The installed M.2 AHCI or NVMe SSD modules are displayed in the CPUs PCIe device tree
after booting the CPUs, along with many other PCIe devices that were connected to a CPU
by SSF. These M.2 AHCI or NVMe SSD modules can be mounted at run time and can also
be used as a boot device. All four module slots are accessible in an 8-lane MaxCore slot.
The size and location of 8-lane slots differ depending on the MaxCore platform being used.
For more information on how to assign individual M.2 AHCI or NVMe SSD modules to
application CPUs within a MaxCore system, refer to
SSF for MaxCore MC3000 Platform
