About this User's Guide
This user's guide is written for system integrators, IT technicians, and
knowledgeable end users. It provides information for the installation and use of the
AOC-SLG3-8E2P expansion card.
About this Expansion Card
The Supermicro NVMe AOC-SLG3-8E2P features eight internal NVMe OCuLink
connectors for high-performance storage connectivity. Streamlined for the grow-
ing demand for increased data throughput and scalability requirements across the
enterprise-class server platforms, this appeals most to embedded/IPC solutions and
desktop/gaming solutions that must leverage maximum performance and reliability.
Designed for port extension, high performance peer-to-peer transfers, and error
isolation. In contrast to retimer and redriver NVMe AOC solutions, the AOC-SLG3-
8E2P is capable of enabling hot-plug without the use of a VPP header. It is ideal
for near-line cache storage solutions.
Comes with both full height and low profile mounting brackets.
An Important Note to the User
All images and layouts shown in this user's guide are based upon the latest PCB
revision available at the time of publishing. The card you have received may or may
