Uitbreidingsboard Intel 2U midplane M50CYP CYPSWITCHMP

The Intel Extension plate 2U Midplane (M50CYP / CYPSWITCHMP) adds an NVMe front drive bay interface for server systems that require more than eight NVMe drives. This green midplane extension plate is compatible with Intel M50CYP and CYPSWITCHMP models and is intended to integrate with existing server chassis to provide additional connectivity and mechanical support for NVMe front drives.

Advantages

The extension plate provides additional NVMe front drive bay support without requiring a full chassis replacement. It is built to match Intel M50CYP and CYPSWITCHMP compatibility requirements and offers a durable design suitable for rack-mounted 2U server environments. The plate simplifies expansion of NVMe capacity while maintaining mechanical stability and connector alignment.

Suitable for

• Servers based on Intel M50CYP or CYPSWITCHMP platforms
• Systems needing more than eight front-facing NVMe drives
• Data center and rack-mounted 2U server deployments requiring NVMe expansion

How to use

Install the extension plate into the server chassis following the server manufacturer's service manual for midplane or drive bay upgrades. Power down the system and disconnect power before performing installation. Align the plate with existing midplane connectors and secure it with the appropriate screws or mounting hardware. After mechanical installation, verify connector seating and cable routing, then power on the system and confirm that the additional NVMe bays are recognized by the firmware or operating system.

Recommendations

Use only with compatible Intel M50CYP or CYPSWITCHMP chassis and follow ESD precautions during installation. Confirm firmware and backplane compatibility before adding NVMe drives to ensure proper recognition and performance.
