AB19-M2PCI
Attach up to four M.2 NVMe SSDs to an FPGA board via a single PCIe x16 slot with power and cooling provisions built in.
AB19-M2PCI converts a PCIe x16 edge connector into four M.2 NVMe sockets for compact, high-bandwidth storage evaluation. The board includes an auxiliary 6 pin PCIe power input and a 12 V fan header so multi-drive tests run reliably.
Highlights
- Four M.2 sockets for NVMe SSDs, sized for common 2280 modules
- PCIe x16 host connector with robust mechanical support accessory to keep the board level
- 6 pin auxiliary power input for the adapter and SSDs
- 12 V fan header for directed cooling of M.2 devices
- Stable operation at PCIe Gen5 speeds with appropriate platforms
Why Macnica?
- SSD selection and thermal guidance for long duration soak tests
- Repeatable Agilex lab scripts and wiring maps for fast bring up
- Pairing recommendations with NVMe-IP and muNVMe-IP for multi-pipeline workloads
