Server platform R2208WFTZSR. NVMe and system on M2 + 8 HHDs+NVMe SSD

[Ex-Machine]

Please help me figure it out. 

I came across information. That I can’t put the system on M2. Because if there are 8 HDDs in the basket, the BIOS will no longer see the NVMe SSD, which I connected via the adapter for u.2. This is true? Can I resolve this issue to keep the system on M.2 NVMe. Would you like to solve or work around this limitation? For example, do not install in the basket, but connect the HDD via a RAID controller via PCI / e.

Thanks

Hello Ex-Machine,

Thank you for joining the Intel community

I am trying to find the information you are referring from the Technical Product Specification for the system but cannot find such limitation. Could you attach the source of your information so we can compare.

FYI, this is the official Intel Technical document: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/server-products/server-boards/S2600WF_TPS.pdf 

I will look forward for your comments
