I used this cheap adapter from Amazon and a 500Gb Samsung 970 Evo Plus. Install the NVMe Adapter and Driveįirst install the NVMe adapter and drive into your Dell PowerEdge server. If your server has internal SD card storage, you could boot from that instead. Clover will contain the NVMe boot driver and boot the installed operating system from the NVMe storage. When this procedure is complete, the PowerEdge server will boot from the internal USB storage and run the Clover EFI Bootloader. Rufus to create the bootable Windows Installation.I also tested the process on an 1.2Tb Intel DC P3520 PCIe card, which also worked fine. With a Samsung 970 Evo Plus also from Amazon.I used this cheap NVMe to PCIe adapter from Amazon.I used this tiny Sandisk Ultra Fit Flash Drive. In this post I am going to explain how it’s done and show the benchmarks from a Dell PowerEdge R310. This procedure should work on any Dell PowerEdge Server that can boot from a USB device.īooting from NVMe storage is simple to do. Simply update the firmware on your machine. ![]() So if you have a 12th generation server do not follow this guide. PCIe NVMe storage can provide an incredible speed boost to any server but booting from it is not natively supported on 11th generation Dell PowerEdge servers.ġ1th generation servers like the are very popular amongst the home lab community and could benefit from a fast boot device.ġ2th Generation servers such as the R720 support booting from NVMe devices if the latest firmware updates have been applied.
