Link here.Įxplained in there are two ways on how you can modify your firmware. I've attached key files here so you can DIY In my case, I used option B - using AMI's MMTool.

Click Load Image and browse to your a11.bin file. Scroll down on the lower part of the window until you find the module with a FileName 'CSMCORE' and highlight it. Within the 'Insert' tab which you currently are, click Browse button. Browse on the extracted file called NvmExpressDxe_4.ffs. It should look like so.Ĭlick Insert button to inject the NVMe definitions. I used AMI's firmware update tools AFUDOS - found in this link ( BiosTools.zip) There's no official Dell Tool in applying modded BIOS Name it more appropriately (ex: a11mod.bin - file type is Aptio Files *.fd)Īlso, explained in there are ways you can verify if you did the modding correctly. As with any BIOS mod: PRACTICE CAREFULNESS and double check if necessary.Īpply the modded BIOS onto your motherboard - suspense part You can confirm a successful inject by browsing further down so you can see NvmExpressDxe_4 is present and that it's volume is 02:01-00 as seen below.Ĭlick Save Image as to save the modded BIOS. This needs to be done under DOS which you need Rufus to create a DOS-bootable USB flashdrive - found in this link.īooting into DOS requires you to set the following up during this partĬhange the boot mode to legacy (if you are in UEFI) Mmtool aptio update# MMTOOL 4.50.0.23.7z mmtoolparts, mmtool download, mmtoolparts review, mmtool, mmtoolparts dewalt light, mmtool aptio, mmtools coupon, mmtoolparts free shipping code. Prepping a USB flash drive to make a DOS-bootable driveĬopy BIOS modding files (AFUDOS and modded A11 BIOS) onto the USB-DOS-bootable flashdriveĬopy afudos.exe and the modded A11 BIOS file (a11mod.bin) onto the root path of the flashdriveīoot into the flashdrive to load DOS, in DOS, you type-in Secure Boot Control and Load Legacy ROM should be disabled. It will now reprogram your motherboard's BIOS with the modded one.

Do not ever interrupt this process as doing so will end you with a dead board. Revert the following BIOS settings once rebooted Once this is complete, remove the flash drive and reboot your PC (pressing ctrl+alt+del). Since this board doesn't have any NVMe ports, I used this adaptor (see image attachment) Using the MMTool Aptio a bootable BIOS was generated by using the SamsungM2DXE from a Asrock BIOS.

This steps are only appropriate for motherboards with AMI BIOS. At the time of writing the UBU (UEFI BIOS Updater) v1810 supports Aptio 4 BIOS - newer X99 chipset boards are not supported by this version. I also used an Adata XPG SX8200 Pro 256gb as my PCIe x4 NVMe drive.
