Boot Options
The BOSS is recommended for non-virtualized operating systems. Virtualized operating systems are best supported by the IDSDM
IDSDM or vFlash cardThe IDSDM with vFlash module has a dedicated slot at the back of the system chassis. This is a Dell EMC-proprietary PCIe x1 slot that uses a USB 3.0 interface to host. In the PowerEdge R440 systems, the IDSDM and vFlash card size changes from SD to microSD and the supported capacity for IDSDM microSD cards are 16 GB, 32 GB, or 64 GB, while for vFlash the capacity is 16 GB only. The write-protect switch is built onboard on the IDSDM module.
Boot Optimized Storage Subsystem (BOSS)The Boot Optimized Storage Subsystem (BOSS) is an alternative, high speed location to install the operating system. This ensures that the drive based storage is not used by the operating system. BOSS is a simple RAID solution card designed specifically for booting the system's operating system, which supports up to two 6 Gbps M.2 SATA drives. This card has a x8 connector using PCIe gen 2.0 x2 lanes, available only in the low-profile and half-height form factor
