PCIe3 2x4 NVMe M.2 internal carrier adapter (FC EC59; CCIN N/A)

Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the PCIe3 2x4 NVMe M.2 internal
carrier adapter (FC EC59) which supports up to two NVMe M.2 Flash modules (FC ES14) and is
integrated in the 9009-41A, 9009-42A, 9009-22A, 9223-42H, and 9223-22H systems.
Overview
The PCIe3 2x4 NVMe M.2 internal carrier adapter is an internal PCI Express generation-3 (PCIe3) adapter
that is integrated in the 9009-41A, 9009-42A, and 9223-42H. The adapter supports up to two NVMe M.2
Flash modules (FC ES14) and is intended to be used primarily for storage (OS Boot). A single PCIe3 2x4
NVMe M.2 internal carrier adapter can be installed in the internal PCIe3 x8 slot (P1-C49) in the 9009-41A,
9009-42A, 9009-22A, 9223-42H, or 9223-22H. It can also be installed in the other internal PCIe3 x8 slot
(P1-C50) if the PCIe3 x8 SAS RAID internal adapter 6 Gb (FC EJ1C) is installed in slot P1-C49. Up to two
PCIe 2x4 NVMe M.2 internal carrier adapters (FC EC59) with two NVMe M.2 Flash modules (FC ES14)
each can be installed in the 9009-41A, 9009-42A, and 9223-42H systems.
Important: Ensure that the 01GY502 SAS divider is re-installed and the 01GY494 SAS slot air block is in
place if you're replacing the FC EC59 in slot P1-C49. f you're adding a second FC EC59 in slot P1-C50, the
01GY502 SAS divider and 01GY494 SAS slot air block must be removed.
