I’m looking at the 900-9X81E-00EX-DT0 and wondering if it supports Downstream Port (DSP) functionality.

If it does, how would I connect SSDs to it? Would it be through splitting an MCIO ×16 into two MCIO ×8 ports, or is there another way?

Any advice or examples from your experience would be really helpful. Thanks!

Your understanding is accurate. To connect SSDs, you will need to procure appropriate MCIO splitter cables​ that match your target SSD configuration (e.g., a cable that splits one x16 into two x8). I recommend checking with cable manufacturers like Amphenol for SFF-TA-1016 compliant cables that meet your specific splitting requirements.
