2.3.1 System Memory
The Mezzanine cards utilize the PCI Express interface to store and access Ethernet fabric con-
nection information and packet data on the system memory.
2.3.2 SPI
Each of the Mezzanine cards includes one 16MB SPI Flash device (M25PX16-VMN6P device
by ST Microelectronics) accessible via the SPI interface of the ConnectX®-3 EN device.
There is a jumper on each Mezzanine card that indicates to the device whether an on-board Flash
device is to be used or not.
Table 4 provides information on this jumper.
2.3.3 EEPROM
Each board incorporates an EEPROM that is accessible through the I
2
C-compatible interface.
The EEPROM capacity is 4Kb. The EEPROM is used for storing the Vital Product Data (VPD).
The PCI VPD (Vital Product Data) layout for each of the Mezzanine cards complies with the for-
mat defined in the
PCI 3.0 Specification, Appendix I.
