1 Overview
This document describes the specifications and capabilities of the Intel® Solid-State Drive (SSD)
Data Center P3700 Series.
P3700 Series is a PCIe Gen3 SSD architected with the new high performance controller interface – NVMe
(Non-Volatile Memory express) delivering leading performance, low latency and Quality of Service. Matching
the performance with world-class reliability and endurance, P3700 Series offers a range of capacity – 400GB,
800GB, 1.6TB and 2TB in both Add-In card and 2.5-inch form factor.
With PCIe Gen3 support and NVMe queuing interface, the P3700 Series delivers excellent sequential read
performance of up to 2.8GB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 2.0GB/s. P3700 Series delivers very high
random read IOPS of 460K and random write IOPS of 175K for 4KB operations. Taking advantage of the direct path
from the storage to the CPU by means of NVMe, P3700 Series exhibits low latency of less than 20 μs for sequential
access to the SSD.
P3700 Series also includes High Endurance Technology (HET), which combines NAND silicon enhancements and
SSD NAND management techniques to extend SSD write endurance up to 17 drive writes per day for 5 years.
The 2.5-inch P3700 Series takes advantage of the 8639 connector and provides
hot-pluggable removal and insertion providing in-service replacement options.
P3700 Series includes these key features:
Consistently High IOPS and throughput
Sustained low latency
High Endurance Technology (HET)
Variable Sector Size and End-to-End data-path protection

Auxiliary voltage. SMBUS accesses a VPD page as listed in Appendix B through address 0X53/0XA6 (7bit/8bit).
Temperature sensor is accessed through address 0x1B/0x36(7bit/8bit). For temperature sensor access,
temperature can be read by the BMC (base) using Read Temperature Data Register (0x05) by means of SMBUS
0x1B. Bits [11:0] return raw ambient temperature.
Intel SSD DC P3700 provides additional drive information via address 0x6/0xD4(7bit/8bit) as outlined in the NVMe
Basic Management Command (see http://www.nvmexpress.org/wp-content/uploads/NVMe_Management_-
_Technical_Note_on_Basic_Management_Command.pdf).
Appendix B, C and D have details on the Out of Band Management data structure.
NOTES:
1. In certain tools the address for the VPD and temperature sensor will appear as 0xA6 and 0x36
respectively, due to bit shift.
2. BMC should not access the SMBUS address within 100msec of device power up, it may experience
some glitch on the bus.
2.11 Variable Sector Size Support
P3700 Series supports 512, 520, 528, 4096, 4104, 4160 and 4224 byte sector sizes. P3700 Series will also support
DIF as specified in NVMe 1.0 specification. Host sector sizes supporting DIF are 512 bytes and 4096 bytes with a PI
(Protection Information) of 8 bytes.
In terms of protection information action (PRACT), bit 29 of DWORD12 in READ/WRITE command should not be
equal to 1. Device only supports PRACT=0 implying protection information is passed to the SSD and checked by
the SSD.

NOTES:
SMCLK and SMDAT routes to an internal EEPROM which contains Vital Product Data (VPD).
PRSNT_N is kept open by the P3700 Series.
IfDet_N is grounded by P3700 Series.
DualPortEn_N pin should be left un-connected or un-driven by the system to enable single port operation with
all 4 lanes. If un-connected, P3700 Series will pull it high. However, if the pin is asserted by the system (driven
low by storage backplane), then P3700 Series will be configured as x2 lanes
Transmit differential pair lanes have 220 nF of AC coupling capacitance.
P11 is used for activity. When idle, logic level is low (LED Solid On). During IO activity and formatting,
pin toggles 250msec high, 250msec low signal.
P3700 Series only uses REFCLK0+ and REFCLK0- as reference clock pair.
P3700 Series only uses PERST0# as a fundamental reset.
3.3Vaux is only needed during SMBUS access to the VPDROM.

Description
0
00
Length of Status: Indicates number of additional bytes to read before encountering PEC.
This value should always be 6 (06h) in implementations of this version of the spec.
01
Status Flags (SFLGS): This field indicates the status of the NVM subsystem.
SMBus Arbitration – Bit 7 is set ‘1’ after a SMBus block read is completed all the way
to the stop bit without bus contention and cleared to ‘0’ if a SMBus Send Byte FFh is
received on this SMBus slave address.
Drive Not Ready – Bit 6 is set to ‘1’ when the subsystem cannot process NVMe
management commands, and the rest of the transmission may be invalid. If cleared
to ‘0’, then the NVM subsystem is fully powered and ready to respond to management
commands. This logic level intentionally identifies and prioritizes powered up and ready
drives over their powered off neighbors on the same SMBus segment.
Drive Functional – Bit 5 is set to ‘1’ to indicate an NVM subsystem is functional. If
cleared to ‘0’, then there is an unrecoverable failure in the NVM subsystem and the
rest of the transmission may be invalid.
Reset Not Required - Bit 4 is set to ‘1’ to indicate the NVM subsystem does not need
a reset to resume normal operation. If cleared to ‘0’ then the NVM subsystem has
experienced an error that prevents continued normal operation. A controller reset
is required to resume normal operation.
Port 0 PCIe Link Active - Bit 3 is set to ‘1’ to indicate the first port’s PCIe link is up
(i.e., the Data Link Control and Management State Machine is in the DL_Active state).
If cleared to ‘0’, then the PCIe link is down.
Port 1 PCIe Link Active - Bit 2 is set to ‘1’ to indicate the second port’s PCIe link is up.
If cleared to ‘0’, then the second port’s PCIe link is down or not present.
Bits 1-0 shall be set to ‘1’.
02
SMART Warnings: This field shall contain the Critical Warning field (byte 0) of the NVMe
SMART / Health Information log. Each bit in this field shall be inverted from the NVMe
definition (i.e., the management interface shall indicate a ‘0’ value while the corresponding bit is ‘1’ in the log page). Refer to the NVMe specification for bit
definitions.
If there are multiple controllers in the NVM subsystem, the management endpoint shall
combine the Critical Warning field from every controller such that a bit in this field is:
Cleared to ‘0’ if any controller in the subsystem indicates a critical warning for that
corresponding bit.
Set to ‘1’ if all controllers in the NVM subsystem do not indicate a critical warning for the
corresponding bit.
03
Composite Temperature (CTemp): This field indicates the current temperature in
degrees Celsius. If a temperature value is reported, it should be the same temperature as
the Composite Temperature from the SMART log of hottest controller in the NVM
subsystem. The reported temperature range is vendor specific, and shall not exceed the
Appendix D SMBUS Command Response on

Percentage Drive Life Used (PDLU): Contains a vendor specific estimate of the
percentage of NVM subsystem NVM life used based on the actual usage and the
manufacturer’s prediction of NVM life. If an NVM subsystem has multiple controllers the
highest value is returned. A value of 100 indicates that the estimated endurance of the
NVM in the NVM subsystem has been consumed, but may not indicate an NVM
subsystem failure. The value is allowed to exceed 100. Percentages greater than 254
shall be represented as 255. This value should be updated once per power-on hour and
equal the Percentage Used value in the NVMe SMART Health Log Page.
