I just installed an NVMe SSD into the Ultra M.2 slot of my AB350 Pro 4 and its under the supported list of SSD's, ASX7000NP-512GT-C.  However, it is listed as "not occupied" in Bios, and neither Drive Manager nor EaseUS partition manager can find it to initialize it.  Is there some issue/ SATA port problem I should be checking?

Edit:  It is now warm which leads me to believe it is getting power of some sort?

resonantace, please post all your system specifications as I have in my signature.  I do not know why you talk about SATA, since the SSD is an 4xPCIe 3.0.  The only thought I have now is in some boards the M.2 shares resources with a PCIe slot.  Please make sure you are not running into such a restriction.  Enjoy, John.

Yeah, so my manual says that it shares with the PCIe 4 slot, while my graphics card is in the PCIe 2 slot so I wouldn't think that would make a restriction?  I tried installing windows to it, with CSM for Storage set to UEFI-only and all SATA drives unplugged, but it still couldn't find the drive.

I tried that link and both methods do not work.  I tried CSM off and Storage OpROM Policy to UEFI-only but the drive didn't appear in the Windows install with either options?

What ended up happening was I needed an RMA for the motherboard. IF you ask nicely they can do an advanced RMA so you don't lose any time. I RMA'd both the SSD and the MB and it turned out to be a MB problem. If you don't have an alternative drive or MB to test, I'd suggest choosing one of the two and doing an RAM. If it's the MB, it would be an interesting thing to bring up to ASRock.

thats because your board doesnt support sata drive in ultra m.2 slot, its nvme only
m2_2 is sata only, so put it there
