Dell BOSS-S1 Boot PCIe M.2 Adapter Card

The Dell BOSS-S1 Boot PCIe M.2 Adapter Card is a full-height expansion card designed to host M.2 solid-state drives for boot optimisation. It connects through a PCI Express 3.0 x8 interface and is validated on Dell systems with Dell technical support. This adapter suits administrators who need a dedicated, managed boot volume inside a compatible Dell server.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

IT teams running Dell servers that require a hardware-validated boot device with dual-module redundancy will find this card a direct fit. Buyers who need a boot adapter for non-Dell platforms or who require a different PCIe lane configuration should consider other solutions because this card is tested only on Dell hardware with the specified x8 interface.

PCI Express 3.0 x8 interface decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the PCI Express 3.0 x8 interface; the host system must provide a matching slot wired for x8 operation. If the available slot does not meet this exact interface requirement the adapter cannot function as intended.

Questions about this item

How much power does the PCIe 3.0 x8 adapter draw when running continuously?

Dell does not publish a specific power-draw figure for the BOSS-S1 card; the adapter itself is passive and draws only what the installed M.2 SSDs require.

What must already be in the server for this M.2 adapter to function?

An available full-height PCIe 3.0 x8 slot and one or two compatible M.2 SSDs are required; the card has no onboard storage.

Will the BOSS-S1 card work in an older Dell PowerEdge that only has PCIe 2.0 slots?

The card is validated for PCIe 3.0 x8; it may physically fit a 2.0 slot but Dell only guarantees operation on qualified 3.0 platforms.
