The SKU: 0CDC7W (also listed as CDC7W is a Dell part number and refers to a PCIe NVMe Extender/Expander Controller Card for some select Dell PowerEdge servers.
This card is primarily used to expand the server's storage capabilities by providing connectivity for NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) SSDs, typically in the U.2 form factor.
They enable additional NVMe SSD support, often by expanding the server's PCIe lanes to U.2 drive bays. The card will act as a PCIe switch/extender, taking a PCIe lane connection from the CPU/chipset and routing it to the server's NVMe-enabled drive backplane.
It is not a traditional RAID controller.
Also great to note that the exact configuration, such as the number of NVMe drives supported, can depend on the specific Dell server model and the riser slot the card is installed in. It functions as a pass-through or extender card to make the PCIe lanes available to the NVMe backplane or drive carriers.
Compatibility relies on the server having the correct backplane and cabling that is designed to connect to the NVMe Expander Card and provide the U.2 NVMe drive bays.
** A server may support the card, but you must ensure it has the necessary NVMe-capable front drive cage/backplane **.
