That's an old computer. Does the BIOS support NVMe SSDs or do you use Clover?
I did not need to do anything since the device was plugged into the PCIe 1 or 4x slot. I guess I might have gotten lucky.
Keep in mind that the system was a server-based system architecture with a workstation chip. So, I suspect that Dell had supported early versions of NVMe disks running in the PCIe slot. The original system was like $9K (retail price) - I only paid like $1800 due to SD.
It is aging since I picked it up in 2015 or 2016.... with my RTX 2080S, it still keeps up or blows away my kids gaming systems with a 5600G / 3700X in loading times. Converting videos or raw single core performance is lacking though at 3.5Ghz.
I have a Dell G5/G6 with an i9-13900HX where you can start seeing the generational gap in handbrake. However, for VM's the xeon chip is still more performant since it has 20 P cores 40 threads (HT) vs. the i9's 8 P cores.

My Samsung 990 Pro benchmarks at about 80-90% PCI4 speeds. Much faster than my AMD 5600G system with the motherboard slot.

The card above looks cool but it's still a 4 lane card the extra pins past the 4x interface are superfluous. I guess they help keep it in the slot.
It is impossible for a pcie 3.0 slot to achieve 80% of a 4.0 system.
pcie 3.0 4x = 3.938 GB/s
pcie 4.0 4x = 7.877 GB/s
pcie 5.0 4x = 15.754 GB/s
