PCIe Gen4 to SlimSAS 8i x2 adapter
This gender changer converts a PCI Express 4.0 x16 interface to two SlimSAS 8i connectors following the SFF-8654 specification. It includes a built-in ReDriver and clock buffer to maintain 16 GT/s signal integrity across longer traces and cables.
Suited for bifurcated server storage
The 16 lanes can be bifurcated into four x4 links, allowing multiple devices to share one add-in card slot. Builders who need a simple one-to-one cable without signal conditioning should look elsewhere.
16-lane bifurcation support
The DP7401 ReDriver splits the x16 link into four independent x4 paths, which is the single specification that determines whether this adapter matches your server topology.

Questions about this item
What PCIe slot does the Innocard gender changer need to work?
The card plugs into a PCIe x16 Gen 4 slot and uses a built-in ReDriver to extend 16 lanes at 16 GT/s.
Will the adapter work with PCIe 3.0 devices I already have?
The board follows PCI Express Base Specification Rev 4.0 and supports bifurcation into four x4 links for mixed topologies.
How do I confirm the Innocard adapter is active after install?
The D1 green LED lights when the add-in card is ready and the PERST#, WAKE#, CLKREQ# and PWRBRK# buffers are operational.
