Hi

 

I don't think it is possible to boot to a M.2 device using a PCIe adapter without native chipset and BIOS support. The C602 chipset was launched by Intel in Q1'12.

 

It looks like you have the latest BIOS https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/swdetails/hp-z620-workstation/5225037/model/5228603... 

 

You can use the device as a data drive but the BIOS will never see this drive as a boot device option.

 

There may be a workaround. Try posting this question in the Business PCs and Workstation section of the Forum.
