Onboard PCIe OCuLink Connectors to 8 x 2.5” Combo Backplane
The following information is applicable when PCIe signal to the 8x2.5” combo backplane are cabled from the
PCIe OCuLink connectors located on the server board.
NVMe drive management sideband signals on the backplane are routed between drive connector pairs:
(0,1) and (2,3)
In order to support NVMe drive management within a defined drive pair, an NVMe drive MUST be
populated in the first drive connector of the given pair (drives
0 and 2
)
Combining an NVMe drive with a SAS/SATA drive within a defined drive pair is
NOT
supported.
Example) With an NVMe drive installed to drive connector 0, drive connector 1 cannot be populated with
a SAS/SATA drive. The same rule applies to ALL other drive pairs on the backplane.
When an Intel®VROC key is installed to the server board, the following illustrations identify supported
(√)
and unsupported
(X)
drive populations for any defined drive pair when the PCIe source to the backplane is
cabled from any of the onboard PCIe OCuLink connectors.
Where 1
st
Drive = drive connectors 0 or 2 and 2
