Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller S140 User’s Guide
OS installation failing on NVMe PCIe SSD with third-party driver
- Likely Cause:
- Using third-party driver for NVMe PCIe SSD while NVME mode is set to RAID may cause the OS installation to fail.
- Corrective Action:
- Third-party drivers for NVMe PCIe SSDs are not supported in NVMe in RAID mode.
