Hi,

The NVMe ssd already present in the workstation is: SSD HP Z Turbo Drive PCIe de 256 Go

We want to replace it with the Optane SSD 900P. In order to clone the HP SSD toward the Optane we want both of them to be installed unitl the cloning procees is finish. After we will remove the HP SSD.

Thank you,

I've tried to start NVMESetup.exe to install the new drivers and got an 'Device not detected error'.

Actually, i've seen in the bios that the original NVMe SSD is a Samsung model: MZVPW256HEGL-000H1-S34ENY0J511617.

Hi abourgault,

Thanks for the information. Could you please confirm if you are able to see the Intel® Optane™ SSD 900P Series on BIOS? If not we recommend you to check in a different PCIe port on your motherboard. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000025736/memory-and-storage/enthusiast-ssds.html Physical Installation Instructions for Intel® Optane™ SSD 900P Series.Regards, Junior M.

Hi,

It works now.

We have made some changes in the BIOS.

1-In the ADVANCE tab, we changed the 'Early PCIe delay' from disable to 5 sec.

2- In the 'Option ROM launch policy we choose 'ALL UEFI'.

We installed win10 64 and now it boots and work as expected.

After we installed the last drivers for the ssd.

Thank you for your help.
