Downloading drivers for PERC S140 from the Dell support website for all operating systems

1. Go to www.dell.com/support/drivers.
2. In the Product Selection section, enter the service tag of your system in the Service Tag or Express Service Code field.
   NOTE:If you do not have the service tag, select Automatically detect my Service Tag for me to allow the system to automatically detect your service tag, or select Choose from a list of all Dell products to select your product from the Product Selection page.
3. Select the Operating System, Category, Release Date, and Importance from the respective drop-down lists.
   The drivers that are applicable to your selections are displayed.
4. Drivers are downloaded as an EXE file or ZIP file. When a driver downloads as an .EXE file, you need to double-click the EXE. The EXE file installs the driver. If a driver downloads as a ZIP file, extract these files to a USB drive, CD, or DVD.
5. During the operating system installation, use the media that you created with the Load Driver option to load mass storage drivers. For more information on reinstalling the operating system, see the operating system document at https://www.dell.com/operatingsystemmanuals.
   NOTE:For systems with NVMe PCIe SSD, ensure the S140 driver is installed to discover the RAID disk in your operating system environment.

   NOTE:During the Windows OS installation using the onboard optical disk drive, while loading the S140 driver, a warning message may appear: No new device drivers were found. Make sure the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK, when SATA is in RAID mode. Perform the following steps to proceed with the installation:

   1. Click OK.
   2. Close the warning window.
   3. Click Install Now, and follow the instructions on the screen.
