Precision 3680 Tower no bootable drives
I have a Precision 3680 Tower fresh out of the box and it does not show the M.2 hard drive anywhere in the boot order and I can not put an OS on it. When I checked BIOS the M.2 shows up under the storage section but will not read as a bootable drive. I have tried using another M.2 in the other 2 slots with the same results, and Diagnostics shows no issues at all. Am I missing something?

If your fresh out of the box workstation does not show bootable drive, you contact Dell support by clicking on Get Help Now button on lower right of this screen. Unless you did not order it with boot drive.

Was the system shipped from Dell pre-configured with the M.2 drive (and an operating system)? Or did you add the M.2 drive to it?
Precision workstations are almost endlessly configurable -- some ship with discrete RAID controllers, and other configurations ship with no operating system at all. What is your system configuration?
