Installed a Samsung 950 pro m2 SSD in a Asus Z97-A and it doesn't recognize it. Not even in BIOS

[Mike1233]

The computer is up a running with windows 7 installed on one of the hard drives, but it still won't recognize the samsung 950 pro plugged into the motherboard. I doubt checked and its seated into the slot correctly, but it won't pick it up. Any ideas on what to do?

Intel Core i7-4790K

Asus Z97-A board
32 Gigs Ram
Samsung 950 pro M2 SSD 512GB
HGST 4TB hard drive
980GTX graphics card

What BIOS Version are you on?

Looks like 2205 adds NVMe support:

Z97-A BIOS 2205
1. Implement 5th-Generation Intel Core Processors code
*Full support of the new CPU requires necessary driver updates.
2. Support ASUS USB 3.1 PCIE add-on card
3. Support NVMe
