Squid Carrier Board™ Family
PCI Express Gen 3 Carrier Board for 4 M.2 PCIe SSD modules (B series)
(requires bifurcation support from motherboard)

B-series PCI Express Gen3 Carrier board was designed as a cost-effective storage solution for the systems that are using a motherboard with PCI Express bifurcation support. Such motherboards can be configured in the BIOS to split x16 PCI interface to four PCI Express interfaces by utilizing the following PCIe lanes:

• x4 PCI Express interface 1: lanes 0,1,2,3 from x16 PCIe interface;
• x4 PCI Express interface 2: lanes 4,5,6,7 from x16 PCIe interface;
• x4 PCI Express interface 3: lanes 8,9,10,11 from x16 PCIe interface;
• x4 PCI Express interface 4: lanes 12,13, 14, 15,  from x16 PCIe interface;
