Looking at server specs, the R6515's NVME support is only through the PERC S150 RAID controller. If that's the case, I'm pretty sure you're out of luck. The PERC S-series controllers are software-based RAID that require Dell's Windows or Linux drivers. You'd need a PERC H-series card to get support in FreeBSD. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong?
