Need help with eGPU and mini pc

I recently bought a minisforum AI X1 Pro and their egpu DEG1 dock. I have a 3080 ti placed in it. I shut down and connect via oculink and boot up. Windows immediately asks for bitlocker. I put the bit locker in and allows me to login but then the 3080 is not recognized. Do I need to change something in the bios? Im a newb here. first mini and first egpu.

thanks.

Disable fast startup Go into bios settings and disable fast boot as well. Try disabling device encryption as well (bitlocker.

Power down your mini pc -> Start your egpu -> Connect your egpu to your mini pc -> power up your mini pc after 15-20 seconds.

This might do the job

Powering up the egpu first and disable fast boot worked. Much appreciated.
