H13SSL-N/NT User's Manual
NVMe Ports (NVMe 0~1, 2~3)
The H13SSL-N/NT has four NVMe ports (two ports per one MCIO connector). These ports
provide high-speed, low-latency PCIe 5.0 x4 connections directly from the CPU to NVMe Solid
State (SSD) drives. This greatly increases SSD data-throughput performance and signicantly
reduces PCIe latency by simplifying driver/software requirements resulting from direct PCIe
interface from the CPU to the NVMe SSD drives.
SATA/NVME Hybrid Ports (SATA0~7/NVMe 4~5)
The SATA/NVMe hybrid ports can support up to eight SATA 3.0 or two NVMe storage devices
(PCIe 5.0 x4).
TPM Header/Port 80 Connector (TPM Port)
The JTPM1 header is used to connect a Trusted Platform Module (TPM), which is available from
a third-party vendor. A TPM is a security device that supports encryption and authentication in
hard drives. It enables the motherboard to deny access if the TPM associated with the hard
drive is not installed in the system.

PCIe M.2 Connector (M.2-H1, M.2-H2)
The PCIe M.2 connectors are for devices such as memory cards, wireless adapters, etc.
These devices must conform to the PCIe M.2 specications (formerly known as NGFF).
These particular PCIe M.2 supports M-Key (PCIe x4) storage cards. M.2-H1 and M.2-H2 can
support a speed of PCIe x4 per port.
