Intel® Server System R2000WF Product Family Technical Product Specification
99
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, 2, 4,
or
6
)
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.
The following illustrations identify supported and unsupported drive populations associated with any
defined drive pair of the 8x2.5” combo backplane when Intel VROC is used for NVMe drive management.
Where 1
st
Drive = drive connectors 0, 2, 4, or 6 and 2
nd
Drive = drive connectors 1, 3, 5, or 7
Note
: The NVMe drive population rules defined above are only applicable when the Intel® VROC accessory
option is installed and used to provide NVMe drive management.
