Dell PowerEdge R650 BOSS‑S2 PCIe x8 Dual M.2 Low‑Profile Riser Card (P/N: FGNRW / 0FGNRW)
This is a Dell PowerEdge R650 BOSS‑S2 PCIe x8 dual M.2 low‑profile riser card, designed to support the Dell Boot Optimized Storage Solution (BOSS‑S2). It is intended for use with M.2 SATA SSDs for boot and operating system functions.
Important: This listing does NOT include the following components: 9GYJK / 09GYJK, YRM6H / 0YRM6H, or any M.2 drives.
The riser card provides a dedicated PCIe x8 interface for the BOSS‑S2 controller and features dual M.2 slots, allowing installation of two M.2 SATA SSDs. These are typically configured in RAID 1 for redundancy and reliable boot operation.
The low‑profile form factor ensures proper fit within the PowerEdge R650 chassis, including compact rack environments. By offloading the operating system to dedicated M.2 SSDs, this solution frees up front drive bays for primary storage while improving boot speed and system responsiveness.
