X570D4I-2T: looking for OCUlink to SFF-8087 (seems to be) cable?

[Panda_Sing_Cool]

Hi,

Just got my X570D4I-2T, a motherboard from asrock for NAS purpose.
the MB has 2 port OCUlink SFF-8611 on board for sas/sata/pci connection.

Without really checking i bought online a case with a backplane for sas/sata 8 drive. The backplane connection seems to a SFF-8087 …

The MB come with an oculink sff-8611 to 4 sata cable.

Does anyone now where to find a cable SFF-8611 to SFF-8087 ? can’t find anything on amazon/newegg or standard online website ?

Many thanks

You board only supports the break out to sata it seems
Guess they just used that connector in order to have 8 sata with small connection, might be able to go to PCIE device but not 100% on that recommend you check your manual

Per manual

Might be able to get it to a pcie slot then put in a AIC

Hi,

yes from the MB docs, seems possible to have extra pci from the occulink port.

So i’m looking for 4 option right now:

• 1. find this specific cable to make a try
• 2. find and oculink to pci cable and add an AIC with ssf-8087 port
• 3. put the AIC on the MB PCI slot , usual/standard configuration
• 4. change the case

option 3 and 4 are strait forward and not really fun to test and i was planning to keep my extra PCI slot for a 4xNVME raiser.

Nevertheless, i will spend some time on research for opt 1 and 2 first to see if i can find these rare cable …

if anyone has a hint, welcome to share

thanks
