Fervit U.2 SFF-8639 to NVMe Ruler 1U GEN-Z EDSFF 2C 8X PM983 E1.L Carrier Adapter

SKU CH-3SG0-EY5ZG

Adapts an EDSFF E1.L NVMe SSD to a U.2 SFF-8639 slot with PCIe 4.0 support

  • Converts EDSFF E1.L SSD to U.2 for server use
  • Adds EDSFF E1.L 2C 8X interface via U.2 SFF-8639 host
  • Installs internally through U.2 slot for direct integration
  • PCIe 4.0 compliant with no driver installation required
  • Supports GEN-Z 2C 8X NVMe SSDs like PM983 series

U.2 to E1.L carrier adapter

This Fervit adapter converts a U.2 SFF-8639 host connection into an EDSFF E1.L 2C 8X slot. It allows an E1.L form-factor NVMe SSD to operate in systems that only provide U.2 drive bays. The card targets IoT appliances, data-centre chassis and server platforms needing that specific form-factor translation.

PCI Express 4.0 compliance

The adapter meets the PCI Express 4.0 specification and requires no driver installation. Modern operating systems recognise the attached NVMe SSD directly through the standard storage stack. No additional software or firmware steps are needed to enable the link.

PM983 series compatibility

The carrier accepts Samsung PM983 series EDSFF NVMe SSDs and other drives using the GEN-Z 2C 8X connector. It provides the mechanical retention and electrical routing for that exact drive class. SSDs with different EDSFF pinouts or connector keys will not seat or function in this carrier.

Questions about this item

What does PCI Express 4.0 compliance mean for the adapter when it is installed in a server?

The adapter supports PCIe 4.0 signalling, so an E1.L NVMe SSD connected through it can run at Gen 4 speeds provided the host U.2 port and the drive both support 4.0.

How does the U.2 SFF-8639 host interface limit the E1.L SSD connected to this adapter?

The U.2 SFF-8639 connector carries up to four PCIe lanes, so the E1.L SSD’s 8X capability will be capped at x4 bandwidth by the host link.

What physical space and mounting does the 1U carrier require inside the chassis?

The card is a 1U high carrier that plugs into an internal U.2 bay; it needs a standard 1U drive slot and the matching SFF-8639 backplane connector.
