I/O Expansion Modules
The Intel
®
Server Board S5500WB supports a variety of I/O Module options using 2x4 PCI
Express* Gen2 Intel
®
I/O Expansion Module connectors on the rear of the server board. Each
Intel
®
I/O Expansion Module connector is a 50-pin, surface mount, 0.8mm pitch, header. The
Intel
®
Server Board S5500WB accommodates both the double-wide I/O expansion modules and
the PCI Express* Gen 1 I/O modules (used on the S5000PAL rack server).
The Legacy modules are:
• Dual Port GbE I/O Module
• External 4 Port SAS I/O Module
The new modules consist of:
• Internal 4-port Intel 82576EB GbE*
• Dual Port Intel 10GbE I/O Module
• Internal 4-port LSI* 1064e SAS I/O Module
• Internal 4-port LSI* 1078e SAS I/O Module
• Infiniband* I/O Expansion Module Single Port QDR
The second x4 Intel
®
I/O Expansion Module controller does not support a single-wide module; it
is only used to support a double-wide module. You must mount single-wide modules on
connector (J3B1) closest to Slot 6, marked Legacy Intel
®
I/O Expansion Module on the
silkscreen. When double-wide Intel
®
I/O Expansion Modules are installed, there might be
interference with some adapters installed in Slot 1.
The following table shows the product codes for each module.
