DL380 Gen10 M.2 enable

I have installed an NVMe M.2 drive into drive 13 on the riser card.  I was not finding the device, nor any area in the BIOS that finds the devices for boot.  I could not find anywhere to enable the function.  Are these devices available for boot?

Hello martinav,

I suppose you have connected the drive in the M.2 port on the primary riser (877946-001).
The server should be in "UEFI Boot Mode" to enable NVMe boot support.
Access the HPE Smart Storage Administrator and select the S100i controller. The M.2 drive should be visible there.
With the single drive, you can configure RAID 0 on it and make it a boot device.

I verified UEFI boot mode, but I did not find the S100i controller setup.  I could only find the P408i setup.  Can you be more specific where to find the setup uptions for the S100i?

 

Thank you.

If you do not see the S100 identify during POST, you will need to go into the system configuration settings and enable the S100 controller if it has been totally disabled

@Jimmy Vance ,

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

I have been through the entire BIOS.  I found no reverence to the S100 at all.  Is there an option ROM I need to interrupt during post, prior to BIOS?

Hello Martinav,

 

What is the spare part number of the riser?

The default riser, 877946-001, only support M.2 SATA drives and not M.2 NVME drives.

 

Kind regards,

Wouter
