Hi,
I'm trying to figure out why none of my PCIe cards (none of which are actually NVME drives) will show up in the M.2 slot. I've enabled all 9 root ports in the BIOS and set them to x1, since the card I'm testing with is an x1 card (Sunix UDP2018).
I can get it to show up just fine in the WiFi slot (root port 4, I believe) without changing any settings, but whatever I do, it will not appear if I put it in the M.2 slot. I've tried copying the settings from that root port to all of the others, but I don't get anything anywhere else.
Does anyone know what root port the M.2 slot is connected to, and what settings I might have to tweak in the BIOS to make stuff appear?
Cheers,
R

Re: X210 - PCI root bridge for M.2 slot?
Quick update: An NVME drive works just fine....so now I'm totally lost. Clearly then the 4x PCIe lanes work, so why won't any other devices show up?
Fingers crossed for any group wisdom...
