Interface adapter InLine 76619I — InLine 76619I external interface card/adapter

The InLine PCIe x4 interface card provides a compact solution for adding NVMe M.2 SSDs to systems with available PCIe slots. Designed for PCI Express v3.0 x4 operation and powered directly via the PCIe bus, the card supports M.2 SSDs with Key M and B+M keys that use the NVMe protocol and accepts module lengths from 2230 to 22110. A low-profile bracket and included heat sink allow installation in space-constrained cases while maintaining thermal stability under load.

Advantages

The adapter delivers PCIe v3.0 x4 bandwidth for low-latency, high-throughput storage access and requires no additional power cabling because it is powered through the PCIe slot. Its low-profile sheet-metal design enables use in compact desktop and server chassis, and the supplied heat sink improves thermal performance during sustained operation. Broad OS compatibility includes Windows 8/8.1/10/11, Windows Server (2012 R2 and newer) and Linux with NVMe support.

Suitable for

• Adding high-performance NVMe storage to desktops and workstations
• Upgrading compact systems or small-form-factor PCs
• Server environments requiring additional NVMe drives
• Applications that demand low latency and high I/O throughput

Key specifications

• PCIe version: PCI Express v3.0 x4 (backward compatible with earlier PCIe versions)
• Mechanical slot compatibility: usable in x4, x8 and x16 slots
• Supported M.2 lengths: 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280, 22110
• Supported SSD types: M.2 Key M (NVMe); M.2 Key B+M (NVMe only)
• Protocol: NVMe (optimized for high I/O performance and low latency)
• Power source: supplied via PCIe bus (3.3 V)
• Operating temperature range: -40 °C to +85 °C
• Storage temperature range: -40 °C to +85 °C
• Maximum humidity: 90% non-condensing

How to use

Install the card into an available PCIe x4 (or larger) slot on the motherboard, secure the low-profile bracket to the chassis if required, and mount the M.2 NVMe SSD to the adapter at the correct length position. Attach the included heat sink over the SSD for improved thermal stability. No additional power connections are needed since the adapter draws power from the PCIe slot. After physical installation, start the system and verify NVMe device recognition in the operating system; install drivers if the OS requires them.

Usage recommendations

For best thermal performance and sustained throughput, use the supplied heat sink and ensure adequate case airflow. Verify that the installed M.2 module is NVMe-capable (not SATA) and that the motherboard BIOS and operating system support NVMe devices.
