I have a nagging feeling at the back of my mind that that slot is
associated with the iDrac system and not the main board.
In any case doesn't that need a vFlash card not a standard SD/SDHC
card? From Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dell_DRAC
To take advantage of storage greater than 256 MB on the iDRAC6
enterprise, Dell requires that a vFlash SD card be procured through
Dell channels. As of December 2011, Dell vFlash SD cards differ from
consumer SD cards by being over-provisioned by 100% for increased
write endurance and performance.[21]
While there are no other known functional differences between a
Dell-branded vFlash SD card and a class 2 or greater SDHC card, the
use of non-Dell media prevents the use of extended capacities and
functions.
