PowerEdge7515 12BAY 3,5 NVME cables

Hi all,

I need urgent help.

I bought PER7515 12BAY 3,5 inch server and two drives NVME 1,9TB and controller P740  ,and as I see backplane is RDRTM (google says from PER740 or XD) but that is not the issue, issue is I cannot find correct cables to connect backplane and and motherboard to see those drives ,and is this even possible ? 

Inside BIOS (F2) i see NVMe setup ? 

Can someone provide cables and how to setup all to work with internal controller S150? 

Please help and thank you.

Hello,

Yes I confirm that 3.5 backplane doesn't support NVMe drives

Hello, I don't think that is for P740.  I think that is a h740p raid controller.
This is not for NVME. So you'll have to change this into NVME and I think you have to hear this from someone who has actually experience.

Hi,

This is PN from backplane on 7515 ,when you google it it says 740XD.

As I see from here , 7515 12bay 3,5 is without NVMe setup. that means ,not possible to add NVMe drives .
