On that system you must be using a PCIE adapter. The following forum posts may help.I would also suggest you repost your question in the Alienware Desktop forum where you will get more responses.

Hi @Abdul Ameer ,
Base on article from Intel: Booting with NVMe* PCI Express* , starting point for NVMe boot-supported chipset is Z97 / X99. While Aurora R4 with X79 only, it will not boot from NVMe... in a traditional way.
However, if you'd like to know if any chance to get it work by some kind of non-traditional way, you may have a look on this thread. It tells how to get NVMe boot support on older motherboards by Clover Bootloader without modding BIOS.
