Previous ST server board models (and I believe this one previously) had 3 PCIe slots per CPU and may now have 2 slots dedicated to CPU1 and 4 slots to CPU2? If a single CPU config is used, will it boot to CPU2 to access 4 PCIe slots or is a single CPU required to be in CPU1 which is now limited to 2 PCIe slots??? Is this forcing you to populate the board with 2 CPU's to have access to 3+ PCIe slots?<BR /></SPAN></P> Tue, 27 Apr 2021 20:35:58 GMT DLaLo 2021-04-27T20:35:58Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Xeon-Processor-and-Server/S2600STBR-Server-Board-PCIe-Slot-Support/m-p/1277109#M20663 <P><SPAN class="value case-description" style="word-wrap: break-word;">How many PCIe slots are dedicated to CPU1 and CPU2 with the S2600STBR server board now?

In a single CPU configuration, the CPU must be installed in CPU1 because only CPU1 is connected to the chipset(PCH).</P><P><BR /></P><P>For the previous generation S2600CW, 2 PCIe slots are routed to CPU1, 3 PCIe slots are routed to CPU2 and 1 PCIe slots routed from the PCH. Therefore with a single processor config on S2600CW can use up to 3 PCIe slots (2 from CPU1 and 1 from PCH). We hope you find that useful.</P><P><BR /></P><P>Regards</P><P><BR /></P><P>Jose A.</P><P>Intel Customer Support Technician</P><P><I>For firmware updates and troubleshooting tips, visit:</I></P><P><I><A href="https://intel.com/support/serverbios" target="_blank">https://intel.com/support/serverbios</A></I></P><BR /> Mon, 03 May 2021 02:14:11 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Xeon-Processor-and-Server/S2600STBR-Server-Board-PCIe-Slot-Support/m-p/1278355#M20678 JoseH_Intel 2021-05-03T02:14:11Z
