Gen-Z 1C to M.2 NVMe adapter
This Innocard adapter converts a Gen-Z 1C EDSFF slot to accept an M.2 NVMe solid-state drive. It is built for engineers and system integrators working with enterprise and datacenter form-factor backplanes. The four-lane PCIe Gen4 design and four-layer PCB support compliant signal integrity. Made in Taiwan.
PCIe Gen4 four-lane interface
The adapter provides four lanes of PCI Express 4.0 bandwidth directly to the installed M.2 NVMe drive. Its gold-finger connector follows the SFF-9402 Rev 1.3 pin-out for Gen-Z 1C compatibility. This single specification determines whether the card fits the target backplane and delivers the expected link width.
Integrated power and protection circuitry
An on-board PWM synchronous buck converter supplies up to 4 A to the M.2 NVMe SSD with short-circuit, inrush-current and thermal-shutdown safeguards. Level shifters translate 1.8 V M.2 signals to 3.3 V Gen-Z SMBus lines, while a 64 KB EEPROM stores configuration data. Three status LEDs indicate drive activity, power readiness and Gen-Z presence.

Questions about this item
What does the four-lane PCIe 4.0 connection mean for an M.2 NVMe drive installed in this adapter?
The adapter provides four PCIe 4.0 lanes to the M.2 slot, allowing a compatible NVMe SSD to operate at its full Gen4 x4 speed potential.
How does the Gen-Z 1C interface defined by SFF-9402 Rev 1.3 affect compatibility with backplanes?
The built-in Gen-Z 1C connector follows the SFF-9402 Rev 1.3 pin-out, so the adapter fits standard EDSFF backplanes that implement that specification.
What physical space and power does the adapter need to mount an M.2 drive in a 1U EDSFF bay?
It converts a single Gen-Z 1C EDSFF slot to one M.2 NVMe position, drawing up to 4 A from the 3.3 V rail with onboard PWM regulation and protection.
