    Go into the motherboard BIOS, go into the Advanced Menu, then go into the Onboard Device Menu.  You will need to enable the correct U.2 port, then save and reboot.

    What kind of drive, and what kind of cable are you using?
     
    Have you checked in Disk Management once you enter Windows?  Have you installed the different chipset and RST drivers for your motherboard?

    I use the Delock U.2(SFF-8643) to SAS(SFF-8639)+SATA cable. I checked the disk management and didnt showed the HDD. I trying to use the Seagate Exos 7E8 6TB HDD drive. And didnt installed a different chipset.

    Why are you trying to use SATA drive on NVMe U.2 port?  Use SATA cable to the SATA port instead.  U.2 uses a similar looking physical 12G SAS connector but they are not compatible at all.
