Help pls.
I don’t know how to create a post.
I think I may not have permission to do so.
How can I obtain permission to do so?

I recently purchased the GeekPi Argon Neo 5 case for my Raspberry Pi 5 and installed an M.2 NVMe SSD to use as the boot drive. However, I’m unable to get the Pi to boot from the NVMe.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

  1. Installed the OS on the NVMe SSD.

  2. Assembled the Pi into the case, ensuring all connections seem secure.

  3. Powered on the Pi, but it doesn’t boot or show up on my network.

What I’ve noticed:

There’s a cable that came with the Argon case that I haven’t used. It’s labeled:

• 12172023V1.2

• 219724A_P103-240125

I suspect this cable might be necessary to signal the Pi to boot from the NVMe, but I don’t know where or how to connect it, or if it’s related to the issue at all.

Questions:

• Has anyone successfully booted the Pi 5 from an NVMe in this case?

• Is this cable essential, and if so, how should I connect it?

• Are there any specific bootloader settings or updates I need to apply?

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated! If you know of any video guides or documentation, feel free to share those too.

Thank you in advance!
