2.3PCI Express Interface
The I/O card attaches to the blade's PCI Express interface through a press fit connector. The PCI Express x8 interface is version 2.0 compliant and compatible with base 1.1 chipsets. The device can be either a master initiating the PCI Express bus operations or a slave responding to PCI bus operations.
2.4Memory
The I/O card supports multiple memory devices through the PCI Express, Flash, and I2C compati- ble interfaces.
2.4.1System Memory
The I/O card utilizes the PCI Express interface to store and access fabric connection information on the system memory.
