The CP169 is engineered as a compact, non-standard EDSFF storage module, providing greater layout flexibility for OEM and SI rackmount system development. Unlike traditional fixed drive cages, the CP169 is intended for direct chassis-level integration, allowing builders to optimize front-panel storage density and airflow for modern E3.S server platforms. The compact module design enables:
| • | Ultra-compact, non-standard module size tailored for OEM and rackmount system integration |
| • | Supports 8 × 7.5mm E3.S NVMe SSDs |
| • | PCIe 5.0 x4 bandwidth up to 128Gbps per SSD (depending on SSD performance) |
| • | 4 × MCIO 8i (SFF-TA-1016) host interfaces |
| • | Front-access removable E3.S SSD tray design |
| • | Supports hot-plug drive replacement |
| • | Front-panel LED status indication |
| • | Host-defined amber LED support |
| • | Dual 40×40×20mm cooling fans in removable tool-less fan module |
| • | Rugged full-metal construction |
| • | Enterprise-focused EMI grounding design |
| • | Designed for AI, edge computing, and next-generation EDSFF storage platforms |
| • | Concept product for future high-density PCIe Gen5 EDSFF storage development |
