Information about how to use Non-Volatile Memory Express* (NVMe*) on Intel® Server Boards and Intel® Server Systems. How do I figure out which Intel® Server Platform Configurations Support NVMe*? NVMe* is only supported on/with the following: Tri-Mode RAID controllers cannot be used in combination with switch cards; therefore, you are limited to the number of ports on the Tri-Mode Controller. When using NVMe* drives, native support (for bootable purposes) is only possible on the following board families with the use of Intel® VROC: Intel® Server Board D50TNP Family Available VROC Keys, for different usages See also Intel® Virtual RAID on CPU (Intel® VROC) Upgrade Key Installation Guide. The following would require the use of special, add-in backplanes or PCIe* slots. The use of NVMe* drives would only be as stand-alone. While you could create RAID volumes through either Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise (Intel® RSTe) or RAID configuration from within the operation system, these would still be for storage purposes only. They are not bootable. Intel® Server Board S2600TP Those within the Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor family. Tri-Mode Intel® RAID Controllers and Intel® Storage Controllers, only: The compatible Tri-Mode Intel® RAID Controllers are: Intel® RAID Adapter RS3P4TF160F The compatible Tri-Mode Intel® Storage Controllers (for hard drive stand-alone use only; not for RAID) models are: Intel® Storage Adapter RS3P4QF160J A special Hot Swap Backplane (HSBP) needs to be used for NVMe* support when using 2.5-inch drives [except the PCIe* card type of NVMe* drives (those that fit on a PCIe* slot)]: For Intel® Server Board S2600CW Family FUP8X25S3NVDK: Hot-swap backplane PCIe* combination drive cage kit for the Intel® Server Chassis P4000 family supporting 2.5-inch NVM Express SSDs For Intel® Server Board S2600ST Family AUP8X25S3NVDK: Hot-swap backplane PCIe* combination drive cage kit for the Intel® Server Chassis P4000 family supporting 2.5-inch NVM Express SSDs As for the use of 24x NVMe drives on the Intel® Server System R2224WFTZS, note the only way to achieve this is by using Intel® VROC and adding switch cards to the configuration: 4-port PCIe* Switch Add-in Card AXXP3SWX08040 any open PCIe* slot 8-port PCIe* Switch Add-in Card AXXP3SWX08080 any open PCIe* slot For further information, refer to Drive Bay Module # 1 - NVMe* Cable Guide section of the Configuration Guide.

有关如何在英特尔服务器主板和英特尔®服务器系统上使用非易失性内存规范* （NVMe*） 的信息。
如何确定哪些英特尔® Server Platform配置支持 NVMe*？
NVMe* 仅在以下位置受以下应用支持：
| 注意 |
三模 RAID 控制器不能与交换机卡结合使用;因此，您将被限制为三模控制器上的端口数量。 |
| 英特尔® 服务器主板家庭，开箱即用。 |
使用 NVMe* 驱动器时，仅在以下主板家族上使用英特尔® VROC即可实现本机支持（用于引导目的）： 英特尔® 服务器主板 D50TNP 家族 可用于不同用途的可用 VROC 密钥 另请参阅 英特尔® Virtual RAID on CPU （英特尔® VROC） 升级密钥安装指南。 以下情况需要使用特殊的附加背板或 PCIe* 插槽。 NVMe* 驱动器的使用只能作为独立模式。虽然您可以从操作系统中通过英特尔® 快速存储技术企业版 （英特尔® RSTe） 或 RAID 配置来创建 RAID 卷，但这些仍然仅用于存储目的。它们 不可 引导。 英特尔® 服务器主板 S2600TP |
| 支持的 CPU | |
| NVMe* 特定硬件 |
兼容的三模英特尔® RAID控制器包括： 英特尔® RAID Adapter RS3P4TF160F 兼容的三模英特尔®存储控制器（仅供硬盘独立使用;不适用于 RAID）型号为： 英特尔® Storage Adapter RS3P4QF160J |
| 使用 2.5 英寸驱动器时 |
使用 2.5 英寸驱动器时，需要将特殊的热插拔背板 （HSBP） 用于 NVMe* 支持 [PCIe* 卡类型的 NVMe* 驱动器（适合在 PCIe* 插槽上的驱动器）除外]： 对于 英特尔® 服务器主板 S2600CW 家族 FUP8X25S3NVDK：热插拔背板 PCIe* 组合驱动器罩套件，适用于支持 2.5 英寸 NVM Express 固态盘的英特尔® 服务器机箱 P4000 家族 对于 英特尔® 服务器主板 S2600ST 家族 AUP8X25S3NVDK：热插拔背板 PCIe* 组合驱动器罩套件，适用于支持 2.5 英寸 NVM Express 固态盘的英特尔® 服务器机箱 P4000 家族 |
| 附加说明 |
至于在 英特尔® 服务器系统 R2224WFTZS上使用 24 个 NVMe 驱动器，请注意实现这一目标的唯一方法是使用 英特尔® VROC 并将交换卡添加到配置中： AXXP3SWX08040任何打开的 PCIe* 插槽的 4 端口 PCIe* 开关插卡 AXXP3SWX08080任何打开的 PCIe* 插槽的 8 端口 PCIe* 开关插卡 有关详细信息，请参阅《配置指南》中的驱动器托架模块 # 1 - NVMe* 电缆指南。 |
