Note - The PCIe EMs shown in this topic might be different from those supplied with your server.
The PCIe EM slots are designated starting from the bottom as, EM 0.0–EM 3.1:
PCIe EM slots are paired and allocated to a single CMOD. The slots-to-CMOD pairing is as follows:
Slots EM 0.0 and 0.1 are paired to CMOD 0 (BL 0).
Slots EM 1.0 and 1.1 are paired to CMOD 1 (BL 1).
Slots EM 2.0 and 2.1 are paired to CMOD 2 (BL 2).
Slots EM 3.0 and 3.1 are paired to CMOD 3 (BL 3).
For slot number referencing, the PCIe EM slots are numbered as such:
PCIe EM population order for a minimum configuration 4-socket server and a full configuration 8-socket server:
4-socket servers:
Slot 3.0 (IOH 0 on CMOD 3/BL 3)
Slot 0.0 (IOH 0 on CMOD 0/BL 0)—Shared if REM (x4) is present
Slot 3.1 (IOH 1 on CMOD 3/BL 3)
Slot 0.1 (IOH 1 on CMOD 0/BL 0)
8-socket servers:
Slot 3.0 (IOH 1 on CMOD 3/BL 3)
Slot 1.0 (IOH 2 on CMOD 1/BL 1)
Slot 0.0 (IOH 0 on CMOD 0/BL 0)—Shared if REM (x4) is present
Slot 2.0 (IOH 3 on CMOD 2/BL 2)
Slot 3.1 (IOH 1 on CMOD 3/BL 3)
Slot 1.1 (IOH 2 on CMOD 1/BL 1)
Slot 0.1 (IOH 0 on CMOD 0/BL 0)
Slot 2.1 (IOH 3 on CMOD 2/BL 2)
Note - For proper airflow and cooling slots not containing a PCIe EM must be populated with a filler panel.
