Interface adapter InLine 76619G — PCI/USB/serial connectivity module

The InLine PCIe interface card with JMB585 controller expands a system by up to five additional SATA ports using M.2 Key B adapter cards. It uses a PCIe x16 slot with up to two PCIe lanes available (PCIe v3.1a) and supports M.2 SATA SSDs in B-key and B+M-key formats in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 sizes. Each port provides up to 6 Gb/s transfer rate following SATA Revision 3.2 and the card supports AHCI, NCQ, port multiplication (command and FIS), staggered boot and SATA power-saving modes.

Advantages

The card provides flexible storage expansion in compact systems by converting M.2 SATA SSDs into five usable SATA ports. It supports common M.2 form factors and modern SATA features for reliable data transfer and efficient disk management. The delivery includes M.2-to-SATA adapter cards, heat sinks, SATA cables, a low-profile bracket and a screwdriver for immediate installation.

Suitable for

• Servers and workstations requiring additional SATA ports
• Desktop systems needing compact high-capacity storage
• Systems using M.2 SATA SSDs in B-key or B+M-key form factors
• Environments that require port multiplication or AHCI/NCQ support

How to use

Power down the host system and insert the card into an available PCIe x16 slot. Attach the supplied M.2-to-SATA adapter cards to the M.2 SATA SSDs (B-key or B+M-key) in the appropriate form factor, secure heat sinks and fasten the adapters into the card. Connect each adapter to the card with the provided SATA cables, attach the low-profile bracket if needed, then power on the system. Install any required drivers or let the operating system detect the new AHCI-compatible storage devices.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible M.2 SATA SSDs (B-key or B+M-key) in supported sizes and ensure adequate cooling for multiple drives. For systems with many active ports, verify power and airflow in the chassis and use supported operating systems for optimal stability when using port multiplication or RAID configurations.
