Interface Card DeLOCK 89961 Internal M.2

This PCI Express interface card by DELOCK provides two internal M.2 slots for NVMe/SATA SSDs in sizes 2280, 2260, 2242 and 2230. Based on the Asmedia ASM2824 chipset and designed as a full-height PCIe expansion card, it connects to the system via PCIe and supports a maximum data transfer rate of 32 Gbit/s. The board includes a large heatsink and an onboard fan to ensure adequate cooling of installed M.2 modules.

Advantages

The card adds two M.2 slots without occupying additional external bays and supports multiple common M.2 form factors. Built-in active and passive cooling (heatsink plus fan) helps maintain thermal stability under load. Compatibility with PCIe host interfaces and support for modern Windows x64 operating systems simplifies installation and integration into existing systems.

How to use

Shut down the PC and disconnect power before installing the card. Insert the DELOCK 89961 into an available PCIe slot on the motherboard and secure it to the chassis. Mount M.2 SSDs into the two M.2 slots following the board's standoff positions for the required lengths (2280/2260/2242/2230) and fasten them with the supplied screws. Reconnect power, start the system and verify detection of the drives in BIOS/UEFI and the operating system. Install any required drivers if the OS does not automatically recognise the controller.

Recommendations

Ensure adequate case airflow to support the onboard fan and heatsink. Use compatible M.2 SSDs in supported sizes and check motherboard PCIe lane availability to achieve optimal performance.
