SFF-8639 to PCI Express 3.0 Adapter

Quick Start

Introduction

1

Use this document for quick installation and setup.

Teledyne LeCroy’s SFF-8639 to PCI Express 3.0 Adapter card provides a quick
and simple means for test and debug of Solid State Drives (SSDs) based on PCI
Express (PCIe®) protocols. It supports data rates of 2.5 GT/s (Gen1), 5 GT/s
(Gen2) and 8 GT/s (Gen3). The Port B SFF-8639 Adapter looks exactly the same
as the Port A adapter except for the bracket label which reads

"Dual Port SFF-8639 to PCIe Adapter Port B". Functionally, the Port B SFF-8639
Adapter works up to X2 since only Lanes 0 and 1 are routed in the PCB from the
PCIe edge connector to the Port B of the SFF-8639 connector.
