NVMe PCIe SSD overview
Dell NVMe PCIe SSD products include both 2.5-inch (U.2) and add-in controller (AIC) form factors.
Storage management applications enable you to manage and congure the NVMe PCIe SSD. These applications also allow you to control
and monitor multiple NVMe PCIe SSDs, and provide online maintenance.
The NVMe PCIe SSD solution supports Unied Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) and Human Interface Infrastructure (HII) for pre-
operating system device management, OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) application for operating system device management,
and Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with Lifecycle Controller for local or remote device management. The NVMe PCIe
SSD solution supports UEFI, HII and iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller management on select PowerEdge systems only. OMSA for NVMe
PCIe SSD device management is available on all supported PowerEdge systems.
NOTE: This documentation assumes you will use OMSA, iDRAC, or HII for all management and conguration tasks. See Related
documentation for links to information on the use of these tools.
NOTE: For more information about iDRAC/LC remote management, see your platform documentation.
