SlimSAS 8i to U.3 dual-port adapter
The Innocard GD9805A converts a single SlimSAS 8i (SFF-8654) connection into two U.3 (SFF-8639) ports. It includes integrated 12V hot-swap power controllers with eFuse protection for each drive bay. The adapter targets server and workstation builders adding NVMe U.3 storage to a Broadcom 95xx series Tri-Mode controller.
Suits installers using Broadcom 95xx Tri-Mode HBAs
The on-board logic handles BP_TYPE and CPRSNT pins specifically for Broadcom 95xx PCIe 4.0 Tri-Mode adapters. Builders with other HBA brands, or those needing a simple passive cable without active power management, should look at a different interconnect solution.
Dual 12V hot-swap controllers
Each U.3 port gets an independent eFuse-protected 12V supply that can be set to 6.5A. The controller also manages inrush current slew rate, thermal shutdown and fault alerting. This active power circuitry is the deciding factor for deployments that require controlled drive insertion and removal under load.

Questions about this item
What controller card do I need for the SlimSAS 8i connector to work?
The SlimSAS 8i side requires a Broadcom 95xx PCIe 4.0 MegaRAID or HBA Tri-Mode Storage Adapter that uses BP_TYPEA, BP_TYPEB, CPRSNTA# and CPRSNTB# signals.
Can I keep using my existing U.3 NVMe SSDs with this adapter?
Yes, the dual U.3 SFF-8639 ports accept standard U.3 NVMe drives and provide 12 V hot-plug power with 6.5 A current limit and eFuse protection.
How do I know the adapter is powered and the drives are active after installation?
Green LEDs 2 and 4 show U.3 NVMe SSD power ready; red LEDs 1 and 3 blink to indicate U.3 active status.
