PowerEdge 6625 drive not recognized
Hello,
I've ordered the Dell PowerEdge 6625 server.
It came with 2 drives:
I put them in Bay 8 and 9.
The 960GB PCIe Gen4 SSD is recognized without a problem and I was able to install windows on it.
The second drive is not recognized as an option when installing windows and not recognized as a drive after the OS is up on the second drive.
I do see it in the menu as a non-RAID drive and have the option to convert it, but that does nothing.
I want to be able to install Windows on him and boot from him.
Thank you very much.

The left one is a 6Gbit SATA SSD and the right one a U.2 NVMe drive. What type of backplane does your 6625 have? there are SATA/SAS or NVMe and a few mixed. Also i may ask which PERC the system have.

The NVME U2 needs to be placed into one of the four universial slots and the SATA in one of the ten normal slots. But i expect that the drives are already placed into the right slots in the factory. Check to docs which are the 4 universial slots and adjut the drives if needed.

Hello, Origin3k's assist is spot on here. I would also add- you can go and check to see how NVME is configured/recognized and within HII (Host Integrated Interface).

@Origin3k
Thank you.
I have tried inserting the disk to all the spaces, including the one it came inside from the factory.
I attach some pictures that show that it's indeed recognized, but no as a drive to install an OS on.

Do you have enter the PERC Raidcontoller and have create a RAID0 VD with your single SATA SSD? If you install an older Version of Windows Server you might need to apply drivers during the installation.
