You should update to the latest bios version. In that version on my D51B-2U boots from NVME stick drive on a PCIE card. It also sees and will boot from my intel 3500 series PCIE/NVME SSD.

The bios version seems to be 3B22, file S2B_3B22.BIN. You should update the backplane FW and the BMC FW before updating your bios. If you need helping figuring that out, google "the art of server" on you tube he walks through updating his.
