Product description
The height of this adapter card is 3cm, suitable for 1U server chassis! This product can be plugged into the motherboard PCIe x16 x8 and x4 interfaces, but the speed is PCIe x4! Items will be shipped after 100% testing!
The motherboard is x79 x99 or z97 z170 z270, etc. This kind of old chipset motherboard is suitable for some hard disks (this shop has encountered PM983 PM983A PM983DCT) The first time it is turned on, it will not recognize the disk (it is estimated that the motherboard is too old and the hard disk is too old. The main control is too new, the motherboard BIOS is not very compatible with the hard disk), if you plug it in the first time you enter the system, you can’t recognize it, don’t worry, restart the system for the second time and you can recognize the disk, the same hard disk, the same adapter card is the same If you need to change the PCIe slot, you must do the same thing. After correct identification, you can install the system and make a system disk or data disk.
Be sure to confirm the following points before purchasing:
1. Confirm the interface protocol of your hard disk. This adapter card only supports PCIe x4 x2 NVMe protocol with dimensions of 2280 2260 2242 2230 and PCIe x4 x2 AHCI protocol with dimensions of 22110 2280 2260 2242 2230. .2 NGFF SSD solid state drive, note that the AHCI protocol is not the SATA protocol
2. Confirm whether your motherboard supports this riser card (there is such a slot, which supports the NVMe protocol). This riser card is inserted into the PCI-E x16 or PCI-E x8 or PCI-E x4 slot of your motherboard. Make sure your motherboard BIOS supports NVMe protocol hard drives. If your motherboard chipset is lower than 9 series, don't bother. Otherwise, you can only install the win10 system, and the hard disk will save data from the disk.
3. Be sure to confirm the interface of your motherboard, do not insert it in the wrong place, it may burn the motherboard and the riser card.
Reasons for not being recognized after installation:
1. If your motherboard chipset is below 9 series, it is not recommended to use PCIe x4 with NVMe protocol and PCIe x2 M.2 NGFF SSD with NVMe protocol! It is not that your motherboard has a PCIE interface, and you can use the M.2 NGFF solid state drive of the NVMe protocol as the system boot disk. The key depends on whether your motherboard BIOS can support it! Under normal circumstances, chipsets below the 9 series will definitely not support the NVMe protocol solid-state drive to boot!
2. If the hard disk does not have partitions or the hard disk uses other disk formats in the previous computer, you cannot see the partitions when you open "My Computer", please enter the Disk Manager to format the hard disk!
3. The installation system must use the original win 10 installation disk. The win7 system and PE system do not support NVE protocol solid-state drives because they do not have NVMe drivers. In such an environment, NVMe protocol solid-state drives cannot be seen.
4. If your hard disk has a bios disk password set in the previous machine, please be sure to clear it, otherwise this hard disk can only be used in your original machine, and it will not be recognized once you change the settings!
