NVMe boot with SuperMicro X9DA7 & X9DRi-F

[mko!]

Hi again.

Here are my bifurcation settings in bios. Only 1 NVMe shows

Supermicro X9DA7
ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Card V2 PCIe 3.0 - Qty 2, NVMe installed on card

The slot numbering in BIOS often doesn't line up with whats printed on the board and/or (especially) on the risers. You basically have to find out which one in the BIOS corresponds to the actualy physical port (and maybe label them accordingly somewhere in the case).
I also had to play this game last week with one of our servers here that got an AOC-SLG3-2M2 card - riser imprint said "slot 3", corresponding one in BIOS was "slot 2"...

@sko - Thanks

Does this schematic indicate anything?

@Volt- I have both a x9dr3-f and X9DRH-7TF that I performed the mod on with success if that helps you any.

Hi, great thread !

@eholyst would you mind sharing your X9DRH-7TF Bios mod as i do have an X9DRH-iF and want to use a NVMe Card to boot the system ?

TIA

good day! on the x9dri-f rev 1.11a motherboard, I installed a board with two NVMes in the bios, installed PCI-E 4x4x4x4, launched the proxmox OS, but there is no boot override, I crawled the entire bios, how to make the OS hum?

here is a file for X9DR3-F, X9DRi-F , v3.4 - x9dri0_630-modded.zip

updated, it didn't help me, the motherboard doesn't see boot override nvme disks

 

[eholyst]

Can you try installing another OS on any of the disks?

the motherboard doesn't see boot override nvme disks

they do not show as NVMe in any case.
the patch gives only NVMe support, the other modules are same and probably don't support giving these drives.

Bootable devices are shown and selectable to choose first "Boot sequence"
