ASROCK C236 WSI - boot from NVM (Linux)

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,

I am intending to buy the ASROCK C236 WSI work station mainboard, but wanted to confirm whether when installing an OCZ Toshiba RD400 SSD - togther with  / on the adpater card that comes with it - into the PCI slot of the board I would be allowed to boot from this device? Also the OS I would like to boot is Debian 9, not Windows. I have checked the manual and on page 52 it talks about CSM / PCIE7 Slot OpROM, but I am unclear if this means booting Linux from the device would now be possible or not.
Thanks
