System requirements:Hardware:

PC with one free PCIe 3.0 x8 (or x16 slot)
Motherboard that supports PCIe bifurcation

BIOS/UEFI settings for PCIe bifurcation:
In order for both U.2 NVMe SSDs to be operated simultaneously, the PCIe slot used must often be set to Bifurcation modein the BIOS/UEFI. This splits the available PCIe lanes into several channels (e.g. one x8 slot into two x4 channels).
The exact designation varies depending on the motherboard manufacturer and BIOS/UEFI version. Terms such as "PCIe Bifurcation", "Lane Splitting"or "PCIe Slot Configuration"may be used. Please consult your mainboard manual for the correct setting and then check whether both NVMe SSDs are recognized.

How to use

Install the InLine PCIe card into a free PCIe 3.0 x8 or x16 slot on a compatible motherboard. Secure the card and connect two 2.5" U.2 NVMe SSDs to the SFF-8639 connectors. Ensure the system has adequate chassis space (143 mm × 122 mm) and ventilation. Power for the drives is provided through the PCIe slot; no additional power cables are required. Boot the system and check BIOS/UEFI to confirm device recognition.

Recommendations

To operate both U.2 NVMe SSDs simultaneously, enable PCIe bifurcation (lane splitting) in the motherboard BIOS/UEFI if required. The BIOS setting may be named “PCIe Bifurcation”, “Lane Splitting”, or “PCIe Slot Configuration”; consult your mainboard manual for exact instructions. After configuring bifurcation, verify both NVMe drives are detected by the OS.
