Yes it does support Intel Optane. The following forum post will help out.

While Optane is supported, bear in mind that it's just an accelerated hard drive -- in other words, a fractional substitute for a solid state drive.
You're better off with a native SSD for the OS, and a hard drive for storage - you'll get many times the level of performance from this setup as you will from an Optane cache.
