HPE shows all BIOS updates as requiring entitlement, but BIOS updates that contain patches for CPU vulnerabilities seem to be downloaded without entitlement. HPE does not state this anywhere.
It looks like the M.2 drive options from the factory were M.2 SATA, but there is a reference to PCIe M.2. Can any one that bought one of these confirm if it is capable of M.2 NVMe?
Thanks
Sorry, if this was already posted. The maintenance and service guides are a good reference:

We have been short staffed with COVID-19, its been a little tough getting people to respond. We only had to update these for a short period of time, as new product is shipping with the latest firmware. One of our techs seems to recall that we need to configure the SAS controller with IR firmware...
The specs show SAS and SATA support. The CCL shows SATA drives. There were issues with the expander on these chassis. There is updated firmware for the expander and the SAS controller, under the download menu:
QuantaGrid SD1Q-1ULH | 1U Storage Server | QCT.io
Our customer uses the QCT D51PH-1ULH. The CCL for this offers a few other choices for OCP 2.0 NICs. There is a dual port 25GbE option:

One of our customers uses this chassis. They have not had any issues with the rack rails mounting and working properly in enterprise racks like the one you mention in your post. They include a cable management arm which has had mounting issues with racks that have limited room between the back...
This chassis from QCT Quanta is popular with storage providers due to its density per rack 'U'. I work for a system integrator, one of our customers uses this chassis with a different QCT system board. Unfortunately, due to its size and design it does not ship well individually. We ship four...
Not if the SFF-8643 is SAS only. U.2 drives are NVMe and use PCIe lanes for connectivity. There are HBA like the LSI 9400 that are tri-mode, SATA or SAS or NVMe from each SFF-8643 connector.
If you want to boot from this drive, U.2 NVMe, the worktation would need to have a UEFI BIOS and support booting from NVMe. For connecting the drive I have used the Startech board that was referenced above. Additionally, I have used these two adapters to provide a connection to cable to U.2...
