How to Set Up Samsung 950 PRO as NVME on ASUS X99-PRO?

[Bannon]

HELP!!! I have an ASUS X99-PRO USB3.1 motherboard and a Samsung 950 PRO and I'm unable to set it up as NVMe in the BIOS. I've tried everything I can think of and that section of the BIOS remains grey. I'm able to install Windows 10 to it and then the drive appears in the BIOS as Windows Boot Manager. What am I doing wrong? Better yet, what are the proper BIOS settings to have this drive recognized for what it is in the BIOS?

Same grayed out option for me too, but with Asus X99-E and win7. The key though is it works anyway.

UEFI installs of Windows simply show up as "Windows Boot Manager" in my experience, so everything seems perfectly normal here.

So, you would not expect to see anything in the NVMe section of the BIOS?

onboard lan controller(2) showed up under my nvme bios options. What dat?

Do you have the latest bios?

Thanks for asking and yes I do. I just checked again and 1901 is the latest revision and that is what I have installed.
