1.2 Host Interface Connectors
The BCM957454M4540C OCP mezzanine card interfaces with the system baseboard via two vertical-stacked card-to-card
connectors. The PCIe bus, NC-SI bus, SMBus interface, various other sideband signals, and power are assigned to these
two connectors. The pinout complies with that of Connector A and Connector B as described in the OCP mezzanine card
2.0 Design Specification.
Table 1
shows the signal pinout for both connectors per the specification. Definitions of the signals
at this connector are provided in the OCP Mezzanine Card Specification.
