If you have 10 X 2.5 backplane config you can use 4 NVMe drives on it provided you have an extender card connected to the PCIe slot which is connected to the backplane with a specific cable. "GY1TD" is the part# of extender card. Refer this Link for details
Another option is to have NVMe HHHL card on PCIe Slot. Refer Link for supported slot and number of cards (Refer NVMe PCIe SSD line item) for HHHL card.
Below are part# of HHHL card supported in R630
K2JF1 - CRD,NVME,3.2,HHHL,PM1725B
P1J3W - CRD,NVME,750GB,HHHL,P4800X
WD66N - CRD,NVME,375GB,HHHL,P4800X
335Y0 - CRD,NVME,6.4,HHHL,PM1735
78RG7 - CRD,NVME,1.6,HHHL,PM1725B
2H9FJ - CRD,NVME,6.4,HHHL,PM1725B
3GFMW - CRD,NVME,1.6,HHHL,PM17356256

No. R630 8X2.5 backplane does not support NVMe drives. Only 10X2.5 backplane ofR630 support NVMe drives

GY1TD is part number of extender card which is supported on R630. This card can be used to connect R630 10X2.5 backplane with cable K9TVP to enable 4 NVMe drives.4277

4 port will get connected to the NVMe ports on the X10 backplane. It will be marked as Port A, B, C and D on the backplane. Refer below picture

@kojderek R630 cannot create RAID or boot from NVMe drives. NVMe is supported on the 10‑bay chassis with the extender card, and even then it's storage only, not visible to PERC/iDRAC for RAID and not usable for OS installation.
