Summary: Steps for imaging a NVMe drive in the Dell Precision 5820 and 7920 workstations.
Instructions
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.
Download the Intel RSTe 5.3.1 driver here (Direct Download):

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
- SD Card is Disk 2
Change Install Operating System to Next available formatted partition (Figure 1).

Some changes may need to be made in how SCCM images systems:
- Make sure to be using the latest version of Windows 10 ADK.
- System must be imaged in UEFI mode.

Import the drivers from the following directories:
4.0.0.1007-x64-Client.zip\4.0.0.1007-x64-Client\
Import the new drivers into the current boot image.
- NVMe will show as Disk 0
- SATA Disk 1
- SD Card Disk 2

Task Sequence:
Make sure to use “Next available formatted partition” for the location that Windows will be applied to (Figure 3):

KACE Imaging For 5820
The following process should be followed to get 1709 to install via KACE after making a new PE 10 1703 boot disc (PE 10 1709 requires SMB2). K2000 4.0 or later supports SMB2.
