Description
For U.3 and U.2 NVMe Drives
The G508 is a CompactPCI Serial storage expansion board able to carry a U.3 or U.2 NVMe drive with a 2.5” form factor and up to 15 mm in height. It features a PCIe 3.0 x4 backplane connection for transfer speeds of up to 3940 MB/s.
Thermal Monitoring and Control
Thermal sensors allow for flexibility with specific user applications and thermal conditions, e.g., to facilitate use of SSDs with limited temperature range, power sequencing and customized startup scenarios.
Front Panel Status LEDs
The front panel features a total of five LEDs: board power, configurable location and ejection status indicators as well as power and activity indicators for the installed drive.
Suitable for Railway Applications
The G508 complies with the EN 50155 standard for use in railway applications.
