Then they can close the Utility and reset the SATA Controller to the usual setting (AHCI/IDE mode). After having temporarily enabled the 'RAID' mode of the on-board SATA Controller they should run the RAID Configuration Utility and look, if everything seems to be fine (but don't create a RAID array!). Advice for users with a non-RAID system: Users, who are running their SATA Controllers in AHCI or IDE mode, should check the function of the freshly updated RAID ROM module the same way. Everything will be fine, if you can enter and use the RAID Configuration Utility without any problem (Don't modify anything, if you don't want it to be changed!).
If you have inserted a new RAID ROM version into the BIOS, you have to make sure, that the 'RAID' mode of the on-board SATA Controller is enabled, and then you should run the RAID Configuration Utility by hitting CTRL+I, F10 or similar (look into your mainboard manual).
So you will get no information regarding the VendorID and DeviceID of the RAID ROM file you are going to insert now by doing the replacement.īefore you restart with your usual PC work, you should verify the full function of the updated PCI ROM module.
This is what you should see, if your system has an Intel ICH8R, ICH9R, ICH10R, 5-Series or 6-Series chipset and you want to update the related Intel RAID ROM version: Note: The 'For Option ROM only' section only shows the VendorID and DeviceID of the RAID ROM Modul, which has been inserted by the manufacturer of the original AMI UEFI mainboard BIOS file.
Hit the 'Browse' button and navigate to the Option ROM module (named xxxx.BIN) you want to get inserted and double-click onto it. Memory Clock from the default settings no longer causes a failure in the Test. Radeon HD 3870 X2, Radeon HD 3870) system does not cause the operating.
The Catalyst ControI Center is nt supported by th driver version. Go to the 'For Option ROM only' section, check the 'Link Present' option and scroll down to the correct VendorID (8086 = Intel) and DeviceID (Example: 2822 = 'Intel(R) Desktop/Workstation/Server Express Chipset SATA RAID Controller') of your on-board RAID Controller.

There is no warranty regarding the safety of my BIOS modding guides and the linked BIOS and PCI ROM files.Highlight the line containing the Option ROM module you want to replace (it is usually the line with the CSMCORE file). This is why I recommend to flash a modded BIOS only for experienced users, who know about the risks and do all necessary preparations for a possible failure of the BIOS update process (inclusive a complete backup of their data). In the worst case you may not be able to use the computer anymore until you will get a new and working BIOS chip from the manufacturer of your mainboard. BIOS Modding: Introduction and Preparations Introduction Warning: Modding a BIOS file by updating the inserted PCI ROM module is neither very difficult nor risky, but it is dangerous, if you are going to flash a modded BIOS into the BIOS chip of a mainboard. Although these detailed instructions are mainly written for users, who want to update the Intel RAID ROM module of their mainboard BIOS, they basically can be used for the extraction and replacement of any other PCI ROM module too. All experienced and courageous users, who want to update a PCI ROM module of their mainboard BIOS: Preliminary notes: Since I have some experience regarding the extraction and replacement of PCI ROM modules, which are part of the mainboard BIOS, I decided to create and to publish step-by-step guides for the different AMI/Award/Phoenix BIOS structures.
