I walk through the System / Inventory / Hardware Inventory and found nothing about S130 I found this informations PCIe SSD in Slot 1 in Bay 1 Bus: 82 BusProtocol: PCIE Device: 0 DeviceDescription: PCIe SSD in Slot 1 in Bay 1 DeviceProtocol: NVMe-MI1.0 DeviceType: PCIeSSD DriveFormFactor: 2.5 inch FailurePredicted: NO FQDD: Disk.Bay.1:Enclosure.Internal.0-1 FreeSizeInBytes: Information Not Available Function: 0 HotSpareStatus: Information Not Available InstanceID: Disk.Bay.1:Enclosure.Internal.0-1 Manufacturer: INTEL MaximumCapableSpeed: 8 GT/s MediaType: Solid State Drive Model: Dell Express Flash NVMe P4510 1TB SFF NegotiatedSpeed: 8 GT/s PCIeCapableLinkWidth: x4 PCIeNegotiatedLinkWidth: x4 PrimaryStatus: Ok ProductID: a54 RaidStatus: Information Not Available RAIDType: Unknown RemainingRatedWriteEndurance: 100 % Revision: VDV1DP23 SerialNumber: PHLJxxxxxxWF1PxxxxN SizeInBytes: 1000204886016 Slot: 1 State: Ready SystemEraseCapability: CryptographicErasePD PCIe SSD in Slot 1 in Bay 1 - PCI Device BusNumber: 130 DataBusWidth: 4x or x4 Description: Express Flash NVMe 1.0 TB 2.5" U.2 (P4510) DeviceDescription: PCIe SSD in Slot 1 in Bay 1 DeviceNumber: 0 DeviceType: PCIDevice FQDD: Disk.Bay.1:Enclosure.Internal.0-1 FunctionNumber: 0 InstanceID: Disk.Bay.1:Enclosure.Internal.0-1 LastSystemInventoryTime: 2020-04-17T03:21:39 LastUpdateTime: 2020-03-31T13:55:06 Manufacturer: Intel Corporation PCIDeviceID: 0A54 PCISubDeviceID: 2003 PCISubVendorID: 1028 PCIVendorID: 8086 SlotLength: 2.5 Inch Drive Form Factor SlotType: PCI Express Gen 3 SFF-8639 When I go in to menu Configuration / Controllers there is empty list. Is this expected in case of S130? I would really like to fulfil the client needs and run FreeBSD on it. But These R6515 are too new too me. The last PowerEdge I have in hand was R610 / T20. Both working fine with FreeBSD. Miroslav Lachman
