4.2 Headers and Connectors
NVMe Ports (NVMe 0~11)
The H13SSW has twelve NVMe ports (2 ports per 1 MCIO x 8) on the motherboard. These
ports provide high speed and low latency directly from the CPU to NVMe Solid State (SSD)
PCIe latency by simplifying driver/software requirements resulting from direct PCIe interface
from the CPU to the NVMe SSD drives.
SATA/NVMe Hybrid Ports (NVMe12~15, SATA 0~15)
Each SATA/NVMe hybrid port can support up to eight SATA 3.0 ports or two NVMe ports
(PCIe x4), for a total of sixteen SATA ports or four NVMe ports.
PCIe M.2 Connectors (M.2-C1, M.2-C2)
The PCIe M.2 connectors are for devices such as memory cards, wireless adapters, etc.
particular PCIe M.2 connectors support M-Key (PCIe x2) storage cards. M.2-C1 and M.2-C2
can support a speed of PCIe 3.0.
TPM/Port 80 Header
A Trusted Platform Module (TPM)/Port 80 header is located at JTPM1 to provide TPM support
and Port 80 connection. Use this header to enhance system performance and data security.
