NVMe drive for S140 raid controller

Hello,
I don't have another list other than the one you mentioned.
You might contact our sales department so that we can check the compatible model.
Thank you

Hello,

Then could you please advice how to make it work for those model.

Regards,

Hello, is it that you need  a sales contact information?

Respectfully,

is your server equipped with S140, and if yes, are you sure the server also has an NVMe capable backplane? 
if you insert the drive and the LED on the drive blinks rapidly, you probably dont have an NVMe backplane.

Dear @DELL-Rey G

I am sure I have NVMe backplane kindly see image below.

​ 

Thank you for reaching out and providing the screenshots of your Dell PowerEdge R740xd server setup.

From the information displayed, it is clear that your server is equipped with a PERC H730P RAID controller, and you have two PCIe SSDs installed in slots 14 and 15, each with a capacity of 3576.98GB. These slots are PCIe capable, which is compatible with NVMe drives.

However, to accurately confirm the presence of an NVMe backplane, we would need additional information, as the PERC S140 controller in your server typically supports SATA SSDs and HDDs and does not manage NVMe drives directly. NVMe drives in your server would be connected through the system’s PCIe slots as non-RAID storage devices.

To determine if you have an NVMe backplane, which allows for NVMe drives to be inserted as hot-swappable devices, you may want to:

1. Check the server's full configuration details using the service tag on the Dell support website. This will provide you with a complete list of components and features of your server.
2. Physically inspect the server for NVMe hot-swap bays or an NVMe expander card, which are indicative of an NVMe backplane setup.

If you require any further assistance with this process or have additional questions, please feel free to reach out.

Thank for your reply,

Answering to your two point:

I bought part and configure by myself and please kindly check picture below:

Thank you for providing additional images of your server's internal configuration. Based on the visuals, it is evident that your Dell PowerEdge R740xd server is equipped with an NVMe backplane. This setup allows you to install NVMe SSDs directly into the server's drive bays and take full advantage of the NVMe technology's high-speed data transfer capabilities.

The NVMe drives will connect via the PCIe bus, and you should be able to use them as high-performance storage devices. Since you have customized the server yourself, you will have the flexibility to configure the drives according to your performance and storage needs.

If you have any further questions or need more assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us.
