Good Evening
I have a few Cisco C220 M4 8-Bay servers that I am trying to get a U.2 NVME drives working on. I have been able to update the BIOS, but have had no luck with getting a 10GTek 2-port SFF 8643 PCIe card to be recognized by the machine. I am using the Rev A riser and have tried both slots. In the other slot, I have a 10G SFP+ card that is recognized and works.
I know of the Rev B riser that, I believe, adds the 2 SFF-8087 ports to the riser, so the server can support it natively. However, I can not find them for sale anywhere, and rather not go down that road anyway. A PCIe card will work fine for me.
My issue, as stated, is I can NOT get the PCIe card to be recognized and/or loaded. The wording in the User-Guide/Manual/Spec-Sheet for the server makes it seem that the NVME functionality may ONLY be unlocked with that REV B riser. Does anyone know if this is true, or if any PCIe should work? Has anyone had any experience with this? I have searched through the BIOS for settings, but can't find anything that'll work. I do NOT need bifurcation support.
