The SKU: KH121 (also referred to by its full Dell part number 0KH121) is a Dell hardware component used in their PowerEdge enterprise server lineup. They are designed for 16th-generation Dell PowerEdge servers, and allow one to install M.2 NVMe SSDs for hardware-based, redundant OS booting

Below is a breakdown of what this part is and what it should do:

What is it?

The Dell KH121 is a BOSS-N1 (Boot Optimized Storage Solution) M.2 NVMe SSD Single-Slot Card Carrier / Tray.

Key Specifications and Purpose:-

The "BOSS" Concept: Dell’s BOSS system is designed specifically to host the server's Operating System (OS) on dedicated M.2 drives. This physically separates the boot OS from your main data storage pools, ensuring that you don't waste valuable front-facing high-capacity drive bays just to run your operating system.
Interface: It acts as a hot-pluggable carrier card/tray that slides into a BOSS-N1 controller slot, interfacing via PCIe.
Drive Support: It is designed to house a single M.2 NVMe SSD (such as a 480GB or 960GB enterprise-class boot drive).
Hot-Pluggable: The carrier allows for easy replacement of the boot drive without needing to power down the entire server chassis, facilitating high availability.
