PCIe SSD in Slot Card Properties

The PCIe SSD in slot card is similar to a physical disk in Storage Management. This PCIe SSD card is directly attached to the PCIe SSD subsystem, unlike a PCIe extender card which is attached to an enclosure or backplane. You can view information about the PCIe SSDs and run PCIe SSD tasks on the PCIe SSD in slot card Properties page.

The following table lists the PCIe SSD in slot card properties.

Table 1. PCIe SSD in Slot Card Properties
Properties Description
ID Displays the ID assigned to the PCIe SSD in slot card by Storage Management.
Status These icons represent the severity or health of the PCIe SSD in slot card.
  • NormalNormal/OK
  • WarningWarning/Non-critical
  • CriticalCritical/Failure/Error
  • UnknownUnknown
Name Displays the name of the PCIe SSD in slot card as PCIe SSD in Slot <X>, where <X> represents the front chassis slot number.
State Displays the status of the PCIe SSD in slot card. Possible values are:
  • Ready — The PCIe SSD in slot card is functioning normally.
  • Degraded — The PCIe SSD in slot card has encountered a failure and is operating in a degraded state.
  • Failed — The PCIe SSD in slot card has encountered a failure and is no longer functioning.
Device Name Displays the name of the PCIe SSD in slot card. The name comprises the bay ID and the slot in which the PCIe SSD in slot card is installed.
Bus Protocol Displays the technology that the PCIe SSD is using.
Device Protocol Displays the device protocol of the PCIe SSD in slot card, such as Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe).
NOTE: This feature is not applicable to drives connected to PERC and software RAID that have RAID capabilities. In this case, refer to "Bus Protocol" and "Media" from the same drives.
Media Displays the media type of the device.
Driver Version Displays the version of the driver that is installed on the PCIe SSD subsystem.
NOTE:  Storage Management displays Not Applicable for subsystem for which the driver version cannot be obtained.
Remaining Rated Write Endurance Displays information on the SSD renewal/replacement based on the amount of write workloads. This field indicates the total remaining programs or erase-cycles available on the SSD, based on the cumulative specification of the total NAND (Negated AND or NOT AND) Flash chips in the SSD.
NOTE: This option is applicable to Micron PCIe SSDs, Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) PCIe SSDs, and SAS/SATA SSDs.
Firmware Revision Displays the firmware version of the device.
NVMe Spec Version Displays the NVMe Spec version of the PCIe SSD.
Model Number Displays the Piece Part Identification (PPID) of the PCIe SSD.
Capacity Displays the capacity of the device.
Vendor ID Displays the hardware vendor of the device.
NOTE: For NVMe drives, the Vendor ID value is displayed as the vendor name on Information/Configuration page. For SAS or SATA drives, the Vendor ID value is displayed as the Dell or Dell (tm) on Information/Configuration page.
Product ID Displays the product ID of the device.
Serial No. Displays the serial number of the device.
PCIe Negotiated Link Speed Displays the current negotiated transfer speed of the device in GT/s.
PCIe Maximum Link Speed Displays the capable transfer speed of the device in GT/s.
PCIe Negotiated Link Width Displays the current negotiated link width of the device.
PCIe Maximum Link Width Displays the capable link width of the device.
Form Factor Displays the form factor of the device. Possible values are:
  • Add-in Card — For HHHL devices
  • 2.5 inches — For physical devices other than a HHHL device.
Sub Vendor Displays the vendor name of the device.
Available Spare Displays the available spare value set for all PCIe SSDs. The new disk has 100% spare which will comes down as per the usage.
