Hello,
I just received my CWWK N305 that came with the M.2 Expansion Board (CW-ADLN-4PCIE V0.6). I don't need the expansion board as I just want to use a single PCIe x4 NVMe drive. However, after removing the board and inserting the NVMe drive, it does not recognize it. If I reinstall the expansion board and use the NVMe in the first slot it boots and works fine, allowing me to install Proxmox. However, it only recognizes the drive as having a width of x1.
I saw a very similar post about enabling PCIe Bifurcation that included a response with a screenshot of the PCIe slot selection in the BIOS. What's interesting is that mine was already set to M2 and not CEMx4, but the expansion board was working. I've since tried to boot with the single drive and the setting of M2, as well as CEMx4, but no matter what it does not recognize my NVMe as being installed.
I know the slot works just fine because the drive works just fine when installed in the expansion board, so I feel like it MUST be some setting in the BIOS I'm overlooking. Has anyone had a similar experience or know what (possible setting) I could be missing?
