2.7.2.2 Add-in Card Connectors
The board has the following add-in card connectors:
• PCI Express x16: one connector supporting simultaneous transfer speeds up to 4 GBytes/sec of
peak bandwidth per direction and up to 8 GBytes/sec concurrent bandwidth.
• PCI Express x1: one PCI Express x1 connector. The x1 interfaces support simultaneous
transfer speeds up to 250 Mbytes/sec of peak bandwidth per direction and up to 500
MBytes/sec concurrent bandwidth.
• PCI Conventional (rev 2.3 compliant) bus: two PCI Conventional bus add-in card connectors.
The SMBus is routed to PCI Conventional bus connector 2 only (ATX expansion slot 6). PCI
Conventional bus add-in cards with SMBus support can access sensor data and other
information residing on the board.
Note the following considerations for the PCI Conventional bus connectors:
• All of the PCI Conventional bus connectors are bus master capable.
• SMBus signals are routed to PCI Conventional bus connector 2. This enables PCI
Conventional bus add-in boards with SMBus support to access sensor data on the boards. The
specific SMBus signals are as follows:
⎯ The SMBus clock line is connected to pin A40.
⎯ The SMBus data line is connected to pin A41.
