Your processor is E5 2670. Do you see it in the list you provided? No, you do not.

OPTANE is not supported on your system.

 

Return the Optane to the seller for a refund.

I would appreciate help to resolve the issue.

 

Thanks

Well, there you have it. You have a X79 chipset, which is too old and does not support Optane. Does HP provide any documentation about their motherboard to the contrary?

 

And, you need a 7th gen processor or later:

Yes, but did you look at the link I provided? Show me, specifically, where it says your z820 is supported.

And, your processor is from 2012 - long before the 7th gen processors required to support Optane.

Hi,

 

So you basically saying it will not support at all.

Any driver like Intel RST will not able to support for this ?

 

Well i do not think so, there must be a option to use it.

I am saying you need the proper processor and chipset, which you do not have.
