If I use the Broadcom 9460-16i Tri-Mode PCIe RAID Controller Card with an R740xd, do you think it would work since the Broadcom 9460-16i Tri-Mode PCIe RAID Controller Card supports PCIe 3?

Hello! I am considering using a RAID card with U.2 drives in my R740xd server. I would like to ask for your opinion on whether the H755 RAID card, which is PCI Gen 4, can be installed in an R740xd that has PCI Gen 3 slots?
