Intel Optane M.2 SSD on S2600CW2R

[dr3s3l]

Hello guys,

I would like to use an M.2 Intel Optane on my S2600CW2R Mainboard. 

My problem is that the board does not recognize the ssd.

I have already read that the board only SATA M. 2 SSDs detects what is the case with the Intel Optane. Do I have to change an Option in the Bios?

Greetings

You can't use Optane Memory on your board. The Optane Memory requires M.2 slot with PCIe interface  while the M.2 slot on your board supports only SATA interface.

In addition BIOS must support Optane memory as well: SATA mode should be set to Intel RST Premium with Intel Optane.

Ah okay, I thought Optane was SATA because of the connector type.

But this explains a lot.

Thank you for your help.
