To install a 2.5" NVMe SSD in a 3.5" hot-swap bay, you will need a 3.5" LFF tray and a 2.5"-to-3.5" adapter. However, for proper NVMe functionality, it is recommended to use a PCIe adapter card instead of relying on the drive bays, as NVMe drives require a different connection type. [community thread]
To upgrade the C6400 to an NVMe backplane, you will need the NVMe backplane itself and specific backplane cables. Note that the C6400 can only support 8 NVMe drives, and if you have a PERC H330 or H730 installed in the C6420 nodes, you will need to replace them with a PERC S140 or HBA330, as the former do not support NVMe.

Ensure that the server's BIOS, iDrac, and H730 RAID controller firmware are all updated to the latest versions, as outdated components may interfere with the SSD firmware update process. If the issue persists, consider reaching out to support for further assistance. [community thread]
