The KickStart Connector System complies with the SFF-TA-1036 standard.
OCP, Open Compute Project, recommends the KickStart Connector System, which features the M-PIC specification for cable-optimized boot peripheral connectors.
The KickStart cable assembly and connector integrate power and signal circuits into one easily installed cable assembly, reducing the need to manage multiple cables.
The KickStart connector features a low-profile design for superior space optimization,standing at 11.10mm vertical height. It is the only OCP-recommended internal I/O connector solution specifically designed for boot drive applications.
