PCIe M.2 Boot Adapter Card FUJITSU PDUAL CP100 FH/LP S26361-F5966-L501 for M.2 SSD boot support

FUJITSU PDUAL CP100 FH/LP is a PCIe form-factor M.2 boot adapter card that allows installation of an M.2 SSD as a system boot drive in servers and workstations. The card supports both full-height and low-profile mounting, fits into standard PCIe slots and provides a secure connection and mounting point for M.2 modules. It is intended to simplify boot-drive upgrades, replacements and migrations where direct motherboard M.2 connectors are unavailable or additional drive slots are required.

Advantages

The adapter card provides a compact and reliable method to add an M.2 SSD as a boot device without changing the existing motherboard layout. Its dual-form bracket design supports installation in different chassis types, and the PCIe interface offers native connectivity for high-speed NVMe or SATA M.2 modules (depending on module support). The card includes mounting hardware and a stable slot connector to ensure proper electrical contact and mechanical retention of the M.2 module.

Key specifications

• Form factor: PCIe add-in card designed for standard PCIe slot installation
• Bracket types: Full-height and low-profile compatible brackets included
• M.2 socket: Single M.2 module slot compatible with 2280/2260/2242 module lengths (check module compatibility before installation)
• Boot support: Designed to allow M.2 SSDs to function as system boot devices when supported by system BIOS/UEFI
• Interface: PCIe connection to host system (actual device protocol depends on installed M.2 module)
• Mounting hardware: Includes screw and standoff for secure M.2 module installation

How to use

Power down the system and unplug from mains before installation. Choose the appropriate bracket (full-height or low-profile) and attach it to the card if required. Insert the card into an available PCIe slot and secure the bracket to the chassis. Mount the M.2 SSD into the M.2 socket at the correct angle, secure it with the supplied standoff and screw, then reconnect power and enter system BIOS/UEFI to verify the M.2 drive is detected and to configure boot order. Follow system vendor guidance to enable NVMe or SATA boot if necessary.
