Hot–plugging M.2 drives in PowerEdge systems

The unique controller design of the BOSS-S2 card carrier card allows you to hot plug M.2 drives. This feature reduces the possibility of downtime during M.2 replacement. Automatic rebuild replaces the M.2 configured drives that are identified as degraded and then starts an automatic rebuild.
NOTE:The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) and Lifecycle Controller (LC) logs for the hot–plug events of M.2 drives are not updated on a real time basis.

Drive removal and absence status information are available in the hard drive queried by the iDRAC. The event logs return information about the removal, failure, and rebuild status of an M.2 module. The iDRAC and OMSA provides the status of the virtual drive and also the hard drive status such as SMART and Remaining Rated Write Endurance (RRWE).
