Dell BOSS Riser for PowerEdge R450 R650xs

Original price was: R859,00.Current price is: R799,00.

The Dell BOSS riser card is the required hardware component that enables installation of the Dell BOSS S2 Boot Optimised Server Storage controller in the PowerEdge R450 and R650xs. BOSS S2 allows organisations to boot their server from dedicated M.2 SSDs rather than using valuable SAS/SATA drive bays for the OS — freeing those bays for application data and storage. This is a particularly valuable configuration for servers running virtualisation workloads where separating OS storage from data storage improves both performance and management flexibility considerably.

Dell BOSS Riser Card — PowerEdge R450 and R650xs

The Dell BOSS riser card is a genuine Dell server component. It provides the physical interface for the Dell BOSS S2 controller in the PowerEdge R450 and R650xs servers. The BOSS S2 controller uses M.2 SSDs to provide a dedicated, fast boot volume for the server operating system. This keeps the OS completely separate from the application and data storage drives in the main drive bays. Dell recommends this architecture for virtualisation hosts, database servers and any deployment where maximising SAS/SATA drive bay capacity is a priority.

With the Dell BOSS riser card and BOSS S2 controller installed, IT teams can mirror the OS across two M.2 SSDs for redundancy. This ensures that a single SSD failure does not take the server offline unexpectedly. This provides a cost-effective alternative to dedicating two SAS/SATA drives to a RAID 1 OS mirror. It preserves valuable drive bay real estate in 1U or 2U servers for data and application storage instead. It is engineered for exact fit and full iDRAC integration in supported PowerEdge models.

Compatibility and Deployment Considerations

The Dell BOSS riser card is specifically designed for the PowerEdge R450 and R650xs. Always verify compatibility with your exact server configuration and firmware version before ordering. The BOSS S2 controller must be purchased separately. Find it alongside other genuine server components from the Briggi Tech components range.
