Intel S2600CW User Manual

Intel® Server Board S2600CW Family TPS Intel® Server Board S2600CW Functional Architecture
Revision 2.4
39
The board design supports the Apacer* power delivery option. The Apacer* SDM 7+2
connector has the power and ground pins on the side of the 7-pin SATA connector but is
compatible with a standard 7-pin SATA cable.
Note:
Once M.2/NGFF device is used on the server board, SATA-4 port cannot be used. SATA-5 can
be used at the same time when M.2/NGFF device is used.
SATADOM may not be used under these conditions:
 A single-width half-length or full-length add-in card is installed on PCIe slot 1, or
 A double-width 3/4-length or full-length add-in card is installed on PCIe slot 2.
3.4.7 M.2/NGFF Support
M.2, formerly known as the Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF), is a specification for
computer expansion cards and associated connectors. It is a small form factor module
supporting SSD/Memory-offloading technology using SATA or PCIe x4 links. The server board
uses a SATA mux to select between M.2/NGFF connector and 7-pin SATA connector.
Note:
 Although M.2/NGFF allows support for many different interfaces, the server board supports
only the SATA interface (all other interfaces such as PCIe and USB are not supported).
 Once M.2/NGFF device is used on the server board, SATA-4 port cannot be used. SATA-5
can be used at the same time when M.2/NGFF device is used.
 In order to support full performance from Intel S3500 M.2 device, please use “Performance
Mode” in Intel server BIOS setup options to meet thermal requirement. Using “Acoustic
Mode” may result in Intel S3500 M.2 device running with reduced performance.
