Conguring and managing your NVMe PCIe SSD
2.5 inch SFF device
The storage management applications enable you to manage and congure the NVMe PCIe SSD 2.5 inch SFF device. These applications
also allow you to control and monitor multiple NVMe PCIe SSDs, and provide online maintenance.
The NVMe PCIe SSD solution supports Unied 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: For more information about iDRAC/LC remote management, check your platform Owner’s Manual.
NOTE: iDRAC support for P4500/P4600 is available only on the 14th generation of Dell systems.

OpenManage Server Administrator
The OpenManage Server Administrator is a storage management application that provides features for managing components of the
NVMe PCIe SSD solution on supported operating systems. The OpenManage Server Administrator application enables you to perform the
NVMe PCIe SSD functions from a single graphical or command-line interface. For more information, see the OpenManage Server
Administrator online help accessible from the application.
All storage management features for the NVMe PCIe SSD solution are accessible by selecting the Storage object, and then the PCIe SSD
Subsystem in the Server Administrator tree view.
