If the installer says it cannot install the system on an M.2 NVMe drive, change the NVMe Firmware Source Select parameter in the BIOS to AMI Native Support.
BIOS → Advanced → PCIe/PCI/PNP Configuration → NVMe Firmware Source Select [AMI Native Support].
Notes:

  • The drive must be listed in the compatibility list for the motherboard (list available on the product page [Tested M.2 List])
  • The option is available for X11 X12 H11 H12 series motherboards.
