146 IBM z13s Technical Guide
The PCIe I/O drawer domains and their related I/O slots are shown in Figure 4-5.
Figure 4-5 PCIe I/O drawer with 32 PCIe slots and four I/O domains
Each I/O domain supports up to eight features (FICON, OSA, and Crypto), and each drawer
supports up to two Flash Express features (4 adapters), installed as pairs in slot 1 and 14, 25
and 33. All I/O cards connect to the PCIe switch card through the backplane board.
Table 4-2 lists the I/O domains and slots.

4.5 PCIe I/O drawer and I/O drawer offerings
A maximum of two PCIe I/O drawers can be installed that support up to 64 PCIe I/O features.
Only PCIe I/O features can be ordered for a new system, and the total number of PCIe I/O
Note: The limitation of up to two native PCIe features (Flash Express, zEDC Express, and
10GbE RoCE Express) per I/O domain is eliminated on z13 and z13s servers.
