TPM Header/Port 80 Connector (TPM Port)
The JTPM1 header is used to connect a Trusted Platform Module (TPM), which is available from
a third-party vendor. A TPM is a security device that supports encryption and authentication in
hard drives. It enables the motherboard to deny access if the TPM associated with the hard
drive is not installed in the system.

PCI-E M.2 Connector (M.2-C1, M.2-C2)
The PCI-E M.2 connectors are for devices such as memory cards, wireless adapters, etc.
These devices must conform to the PCI-E M.2 specifications (formerly known as NGFF).
These particular PCI-E M.2 supports M-Key (PCI-E x2) storage cards. M.2-C1 can support
a speed of PCI-E x4, when one M.2 device is installed.
NVMe Ports ( NVMe 0~7, 10, 11, 14, 15)
The H11SSW-iN/NT has tweleve (12) NVMe ports (2 ports per 1 Slim SAS connector) on
the motherboard. These ports provide high-speed, low-latency PCI-E 3.0 x4 connections
directly from the CPU to NVMe Solid State (SSD) drives. This greatly increases SSD data-
throughput performance and significantly reduces PCI-E latency by simplifying driver/software
requirements resulting from direct PCI-E interface from the CPU to the NVMe SSD drives.
SATA/NVMe Hybrid Ports (SATA 0-7/NVMe 8-9; SATA 8-15/NVMe 12-13)
Each SATA/NVMe hybrid port can support up to eight (8) SATA 3.0 ports or 2x NVMe ports
(PCI-E x4), for a total of sixteen (16) SATA ports or four (4) NVMe ports.
