  • Adapter typeSlimSAS 8i to U.3 Daul port Adapter
  • Product colorBlack
  • Converts U.3 dual ports to SlimSAS 8i for PCIe 4.0 connectivity
  • Built-in 12V hot-plug power with 6.5A current limit and eFuse protection
  • Compliant with NVM Express 1.4 and PCIe 4.0 specifications
  • LED indicators show power-ready and active status per port
  • Supports Broadcom 95xx Tri-Mode adapters with BP_TYPE and CPRSNT signal handling

Adapter Function & Target Use

The Innocard GD9805A connects a SlimSAS 8i host interface to two U.3 NVMe drive bays. It is built for server and HBA installations that require PCIe 4.0 connectivity with integrated hot-swap power management.

Suitable Builds & Limitations

This adapter suits administrators adding U.3 storage to Broadcom 95xx tri-mode controllers using the SlimSAS 8i link. It does not suit systems lacking a compatible SlimSAS 8i port or builds that require single-port U.2 connectivity without the integrated 12 V eFuse power circuitry.

Key Deciding Specification

The adapter provides dual U.3 SFF-8639 ports with a programmable 6.5 A current limit and back-to-back FET operation for each 12 V hot-plug circuit. This specific power-controller design determines whether the card can safely support the target SSDs during insertion and removal.

Questions about this item

What does the PCIe 4.0 rating mean once this adapter is installed in a server?

The adapter passes PCIe 4.0 signals from a SlimSAS 8i host connector to two U.3 drive bays, so each NVMe SSD can run at Gen 4 speeds without a protocol conversion layer.

Which SlimSAS standard governs the 8i connector pin-out on this board?

The 8i connector follows SFF-9402 Rev 1.1 pin-out, matching Broadcom 95xx Tri-Mode RAID and HBA adapters for direct cabling.

What clearance and power connections are required to mount the card and run the U.3 hot-swap bays?

The board plugs into a standard PCIe slot; each U.3 port draws up to 6.5 A from the on-board 12 V eFuse controller, so no external power cables are needed.
