Important information about the BOSS device (PCIe
cards M.2 Drive)
The Boot Optimized Server Storage (BOSS) card shipped with XC Series Appliance and XC Core System is the appliance boot
device. This PCIe card supports up to two M.2 SATA SSDs configured in RAID1 for high availability.
NOTE:
Write intensive activities and processes leveraged by XC Series Appliance and XC Core System, are intended to take
place on the SSDs and HDDs and not the BOSS boot device. Any applications defaulting write activity to the BOSS boot
drive should be redirected accordingly.
Examples of write intensive applications not to be run on the boot
device
Following are the examples of write intensive applications not to be run on the boot device:
● System Center Agents.
○ System Center Configuration Manager (CCMExec.exe).
○ System Center Operations Manager (MonitoringHost.exe).
● Write‐intensive Agents.
● Databases.
● Disk management utilities (third-party disk defragmentation or partitioning tools).
● Additional roles outside of the appliance's intended use (web server, domain controller, RDS, and so on.).
● Client‐based Antivirus (Hyper-V only).
● Virtual machines. Ensure that the Virtual Machines run only on Solid State Drives (SSDs) and Hard Disk Drives (HDDs).
