I ordered another Asrock motherboard to replace the one I haven;t been able to install Fedora 27 on. The user manual says it can be setup to boot uefi or legacy bios by enabling csm. I do not need to dual boot with Windows, only Fedora 27 so it appears to me that the legacy option is best in my case.

Is that right or am I missing something?

Fedora is supposed to help us work out bugs before they land in Enterprise distros.  The more Fedora 
users give UEFI a try, the better it will work for linux in 2020.   

It may be better to experiment with UEFI while you can still get hardware with BIOS than wait for 2020 to start 
figuring out EUFI. 

Dell has a white paper  <en.community.dell.com/techcenter/extras/m/white_papers/20444677/download>.  

This document is aimed more at data centers, but it is interesting to read the section on memory 
limits for storage devices and Dell's use of UEFI for NVMe devices.
