*When the plugged M.2 PCIe SSDs are used as the OS drive and IRST cache at the same time, ensure the Launch CSM
is set to [Disabled] in BIOS. Meanwhile, for the M.2 SSDs that contained OPROM, contact the SSDs vendors for
Microsoft signed UEFI drivers. Otherwise, they will be only available for the data drive usage. Check the manual of Intel
Desktop Responsiveness Technologies for the details of IRST setup.
