S2600CW cant boot from PCIe Expansion Card

Hi,
I have a PCIe expansion card on which 2 NVMe SSDs are. But in the bios after installing Proxmox in Raid 1 I can not select the ssds as boot option.
The 16x PCIe slot is set to 4x4x4x4 in the bios by bifurcation.
Is there a particular reason why the boot option is not displayed, neither in Legacy nor in UEFI mode?

The PCIe Card that I used:

It also says, it is bootable:

I would say that your board is too old, and your bios does not support boot from nvme.
