3.4  System IO 
The server board Input/Output features are provided via the embedded features and 
functions of several onboard components including the Integrated I/O Module (IIO) of the 
Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v3 and v4 processors, the Intel® C612 series chipset, the Intel® Ethernet 
controller I350 or X540, and the I/O controllers embedded within the Emulex* Pilot-III 
Management Controller. 
3.4.1  PCI Express* Support 
The integrated I/O module incorporates the PCI Express* interface and supports up to 40 
lanes of PCI Express. The Intel® Server Board S2600CW supports six PCIe slots from two 
processors and PCH: 
  From PCH: 
-  Slot 1: PCIe Gen II x4 
  From the first processor: 
-  Slot 5: PCIe Gen III x16/x8 electrical with x16 physical connector. Electrical x16 for 
S2600CW2R or S2600CWTR, electrical x8 for S2600CW2SR or S2600CWTSR 
-  Slot 6 PCIe Gen III x16 electrical with x16 physical connector 
  From the second processor: 
-  Slot 2: PCIe Gen III x16 electrical with x16 physical connector 
-  Slot 3: PCIe Gen III x8 electrical with x8 physical connector 
-  Slot 4: PCIe Gen III x16 electrical with x16 physical connector 
The server board supports up to three full length full height double-width PCIe cards on slot 
2, slot 4, and slot 6. 
Standard PCIe slots can provide up to 25W power. PCIe slot 2, 4, and 6 can provide up to 75W 
power. The higher power requirement needs direct power cables from power supplies. 
Note: 
1.  Both CPU power connectors need to be connected in order for all the PCIe slots to work 
even only one CPU is installed.  
2.  While PCIe slot 5 is also an x16 connector, only 3 x16 PCIe slots on the board can support 
up to 75W slot power at a time. This is a configuration limitation based on the System 
Power budget. When used as riser slot, slot 6 can each provide up to 75W power to the 
riser.  
Below is a list of possible power configurations supporting different high power PCIe cards: 
  x16 150W card 
-  75W from PCIe slot and 75W from PSU direct cable attach: 75W (2x3 conn)
