Does the SSD 750 series is compatible with C612 chipset ?

[FCorn4]

I recently bought a Dell T7810 workstation with 2 xeon E5-2690v3 cpu. I want to put a very fast SSD like the Intel 750 series on this system that is having an Intel C612 chipset. It is compatible with the X99 chipset but what about the C612 that is a very similar chipset than the X99 ? Will there be a driver soon to support the C612 chipset ? Will there be a product similar in performance compatible to the C612 chipset ? Any product suggestion ?

Ok only x99 and z97 motherboards at the list....Do you think the P3600 series will boot in my motherboard?Does it have a list of tested motherboards for the p3600 series?At Asus web site it says the p3600 400 giga and 800 giga is qualified component. But i need to know what Intel says about de p36000.....I have only 2 days to exchange my product....

Leonardo_graca,

We would like to inform you that we cannot guarantee that the Intel® SSD DC P3600 Series will be bootable from all motherboards using the Intel® C612 Chipset. This capability would have to be confirmed with the motherboard manufacturer. On our best effort to help you with this, we do have these two documents that explain the steps required to boot from an Intel® PCIe* NVMe* Drive. Please check the links below as they contain information that might help you.

Hi, I have a dual Xeon 2695 V3 and recently I purchased an Intel SSD 750 Series PCIe. Is this drive working with S2600CW2 motherboard? I need to boot from the SSD.

Many thanks

Update BIOS of MB up to https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25363/S2600CW-BIOS-and-Firmware-update-for-IDA-OFU-WinPE https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25363/S2600CW-BIOS-and-Firmware-update-for-IDA-OFU-WinPE at least for NVMe support. You should boot in UEFI mode with disabled CSM (check the other server parts, like separate network adapters and storage controllers for native UEFI support). If current OS was installed in Legacy mode, you should install OS clean.

Hi JFFulcrum,

I'll try it, thanks.

Can I update firmware from the BIOS itself?
