WTB: NVMe backplane/Cage for Intel P4000 Chassis

[watersb]

Intel Part Number is FUP8X25S3NVDK

I just bought a "custom built" old server from Goodwill (!) and it turns out to be a S2600CW in a P4000 chassis.

Not bad for fifty bucks!

Anyone know where to get the NVMe backplane for this? Can't find one by part number on the eBay, although I did get a SAS cage kit.

Edit: FUP8X25S3NVDK is an OCuLink backplane that supports NVMe in all 8 slots. Since I'm seeking obsolete equipment, it might as well be the latest obsolete equipment...

Alibaba claims to have one...

Wow! Did not think of that. Thanks!

The photos of the packaging are of the LSI 3008 SAS controller. Online quoted price seems to be about $350 shipped.

There are a number of NVMe docks available in the retail channel under the branding "IcyDock ToughArmor" (North America). Four-bay docks for $400+

I have studied the Intel service manuals and see I2C signaling between the Intel drive cage and the motherboard. I have no idea how that would compare to NVMe in-band signaling, if any.
