The Lenovo ThinkCentre Edge 71, type 1578, has two single-lane PCI Express slots and one sixteen-lane PCI Express slot. Devices inserted into the ×1 slots (for example, NVMe adapters) work fine. However, devices (even the same devices) inserted into the ×16 slot power on but are not seen by the operating system. What's the problem, here?

Hit F1 during boot to get to the BIOS settings, then choose DevicesVideo Setup, and set Multi-Monitor Support to Enabled.

Presumably whoever designed this interface couldn't imagine the PCIe×16 slot being used for anything other than a graphics card.
