Dell Precision 5820 and 7920: Imaging Steps for NVMe Drives in the FlexBay

Precision 5820 and 7920 Imaging

When imaging the Precision 5820 or 7920 systems with Flex bay NVMe drives, they may require additional steps to accomplish a successful image:

Microsoft Deployment Toolkit:

• Make sure to be using the latest version of Windows 10 Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK).
• The system must be imaged in UEFI mode.

Import all drivers from the following directories:
Intel-Rapid-Storage-Technology-enterprise-F6-Driver_TV5DJ_WIN_5.3.1.1019_A03\RSTe_f6_iaStorE_win8_64
Intel-Rapid-Storage-Technology-enterprise-F6-Driver_TV5DJ_WIN_5.3.1.1019_A03\RSTe_f6_iaVROC_win8_64

• NVMe shows as Disk 1
• SATA is Disk 0
• Secure Digital (SD) Card is Disk 2

Change Install Operating System to Next available formatted partition (Figure 1).
