This is a Dell PowerEdge R640 10-Bay 2.5" NVMe SSD Backplane Board (P/N: NFNNV, 0NFNNV, PGJ49, 0PGJ49, 73V17, 073V17). This specialized backplane is designed to significantly enhance the storage capabilities of your Dell PowerEdge R640 rack server by providing direct support for high-performance NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) SSDs.
Configured for 10x 2.5" SFF (Small Form Factor) NVMe solid-state drives, this backplane allows you to leverage the full speed of NVMe technology for ultra-fast storage access. The "4-in-1 Configuration" typically refers to how the NVMe lanes are routed, indicating that a certain number of drives share PCIe lanes, optimized for performance and density within the R640's chassis. It connects directly to the server's motherboard via high-speed cables (usually PCIe signal cables, not included with the backplane itself) to provide dedicated pathways for NVMe storage. This backplane is a critical component for maximizing I/O performance and capacity for data-intensive applications, virtualization, and database workloads on your Dell PowerEdge R640 server.
