Crosshair VII Wifi nvme RAID setup

Hey,

I was looking for a new nvme drive for my build and ran across this video showing nvme raid setup on this mobo.
This inspired me to pick this motherboard up and grab a couple of nvme drives.

The problem is I don't see RaidXpert 2 utility in my uefi bios at all.
The only setting i can find is to enable/diable nvme raid under the sata configuration settings.
At ~3:58 you can see bios revision 0508 was used. This is what my board shipped with but after i could get this working I tried updating to the latest bios revision.

How is nvme Raid setup through the bios on this mobo?
Is there some guide /manual out there for this?

Thanks,

Hey just checking back in, I DID get this to work.
I need to change this specifically in the uefi bios:

Boot -> CSM(Compatibility Support Module) -> Launch CSM [disabled]

Advance -> Sata Configuration -> NVMe RAID mode [enabled]

This made the RaidXpert config appear and i was able to create an array with 2 NVMe drives.
Also I noticed when i re-enabled CSM after the RAID was created, I could still access the RaidXpert 2 config.

Hope this help someone in the future.

These were the steps I needed!
Thanks!
