Question Z97-A doesn't see Kingston A2000 NVMe

[dammson]

I bought the M.2 SSD yesterday and I installed it, removed all other storage units (aka my HDD and CD/DVD reader) and plugged in my Windows USB, but both BIOS and Windows doesn't see the M.2. I tried closing Compatibility Service Module (or something) and cleared secure boot keys but it just doesn't work. May the SSD be broken?
