Dell r740 PCIe Expansion Kit
Good Morning,
I am currently gathering parts to enable U.2 media support in my r740.
My understanding is that
PCIe Extender SSD Controller Card, Dell P/N 1YGFW
enables U.2 support.
I need part numbers available for the interface cable and an 8-port backplane that supports the card/cable combo.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

PCIe Extender card is used to connect NVMe drives from backplane. Any of the backplane on R740 does not support NVMe backplane. R740 only support SAS/SATA backplanes. You can refer below link for details. As R740 does not support NVMe drives you can not use PCIe Extender SSD Controller Card (Dell P/N 1YGFW) on this server
