Hi, here the newbie :3
I was reading the manual of the Gigabyte MZ32-AR0 Rev.1, is for epyc 7002, I was looking one the manual to know more about the mobo, I thought would be fine to read, after all I know very little about this setups... and would be great have some NVME in raid....
Here the manual: https://download.gigabyte.com/FileL..._e_v10.pdf?v=403839afad78c873b56c7f3901d30d9e
Well, I thought there was no U2 ports, but then in the page 7:
14 SATA0 Slimline SAS 4i Connector (SATAIII 6Gb/s Signal)
15 SATA1 Slimline SAS 4i Connector (SATAIII 6Gb/s Signal)
16 U2_3 Slimline SAS 4i Connector (NVMe/PCIe Gen3 x4)
17 U2_1 Slimline SAS 4i Connector (NVMe/PCIe Gen3 x4)
18 U2_0 Slimline SAS 4i Connector (NVMe/PCIe Gen3 x4)
19 U2_2 Slimline SAS 4i Connector (NVMe/PCIe Gen3 x4)
Now I got confused by... a lot of things that I don't know...
First! I though U2 was for sata, but then it says is for NVMe...
Second, the port used is not for an NVMe, is an... Slimline SAS 4i Connector which I was not able to find how to use it! just some adapters but nothing that tells me more about it.
I was not able to find about raid with the U2 ports (?
In the manual there is no info how use/mount the U2/Slimline SAS 4i...
From page 7 too: 38 PCIE_7 PCIe x16 Slot (Gen4 x16) switch with 4 x Slim-SAS 4i from 4
what means switch? is like the mobo will switch between U2 and the PCIe?
How can I use that ports?
Thx!
