Hi there,
Long time, no post! I got my X8DTU-F motherboard back up and running and boy, that was tough
So, I'm finally in the position to proceed with my ESXi / FreeNAS install. I've installed ESXi to my 32 GB Intel Optane M.2 SSD, which is connected to my system via a M.2 PCie to PCI Express 3.0 x4 Host Adapter Card. ESXi recognizes it as a boot drive, no problem, but I can not, for the life of me, get the SuperMicro X8DTU-F BIOS to recognize the M.2 drive, nor does the BIOS have an UEFI / Legacy boot option.
Has anyone successfully gotten a X8DTU-F to boot off a NVMe drive? Or enabled the UEFI / Legacy boot options that *should* be in the BIOS? Any ideas / suggestions?
Thanks so much!
