BIOS Setup
Intel® RST requires the PCIe storage remapping option. It is limited to the Intel 6th Generation platform and newer,
so be sure to check with your motherboard vendor or user manual before applying this method. Changing ports
with RST PCIe storage remapping option will allow NVMe to be properly utilized. You will get boot ability after the
ports are properly remapped.
Figure 2 shows the UEFI BIOS advanced settings’ additional options that are specific to the Intel RST platform. By
toggling the RAID support controls, it diverts control of the connected device over to RST.
