Hello
I suggest reviewing the system manual for anything you may have missed. If you have NVMe set to non-RAID mode then it should use native OS drivers, but if you have NVMe set to RAID and the embedded controller(S140) set to RAID it will use the S140 driver. That driver will need to be manually installed. Also, your boot order may need to be set differently based on your selection.

Hi, can you explain us the R440 process for boot a NVME on a PCI with WIndows Server 2016?
Thank you!

The solution would be to use a dedicated USB flash drive and set as the first boot option, use its grub booting to redirect to nvme drive.
1. Install Linux into this USB flash drive.
2. install os into your nvme SSD(I use Asus hyper PCIe nvme adapter, which should also work for your case )
you can use disk copy software or other tooling to install os in nvme drive.
3. change the default grub entry on the USB drive to nvme
I bought a mini-sized USB drive to attach to PowerEdge server.
The key point is to use USB flash drive's grub configuration to redirect to PCIe-nvme SSD installed OS.

I'm facing same serius problem, Installed nvme SSD to pcie adapter as non-raid mode.
But the nvme is not being detected by any boot sequence either UEFI or BIOS mode.
As a result no boot device is showing. What to do?
Tried almost everything everyway I could, but no result.

Hello thanks for choosing Dell.
Is your NVMe plugged to PCIE slot? Then it may be the reason why it doesn't boot.
Another thing you can try is using BOSS since you have an T440.
