Driver installation
The BOSS-S1 card uses the native AHCI driver of the supported operating systems.
Windows driver installation — The Driver Update Package (DUP) updates the unified console driver on the systems running Windows Server 2012 R2 and later operating systems. A DUP is an executable application that updates drivers for specific devices. A DUP supports command line interface and silent execution. For more information, see www.dell.com/support/home.
Linux driver installation — The Driver Update Disk (DUD) images are created only for those operating system releases in which the native, or in-box driver is insufficient for installation.
ESXi driver installation — By default, native AHCI driver is the inbox for installation.
