It’s have do for update sata orom.
What would happen if I had the wrong and also update the bios?
The UUID ubutool was complaining about was for sata. Thought that link I posted would help you understand. Anyhow don’t take any chances if your not sure what your doing or without a dual bios switch or you could do some serious damage.
@Sonix,
Is UBU V1.40 , Option 1 correct for this X99 motherboard ?
Why 2 identical occurences (13.1.0.2126) of OROM IRST RAID ?
Can you offer to update to EFI IRST RAID to v14.6.1.2340 ?
Thanks a lot for this easy use UBU Tool for so complex BIOS update process.

Good guide, my problem is always same at picture
No rst mod, i’am start form original bios
Many users of this Forum will be grateful, if you would post your guide within this Forum as well.
I promise I will write one here as well as soon as I can!
Thank you.
SoniX: I don’t know how the AMD Raid is updated so do you have this oROM or shall I upload it?
1022-7805 AMD RAID 7.1.0-00064
I have update all sata orom 14.6 and efi with UBU and manual, this is my question: what’s different from rst 14 and rste 4?
There are problem to use rst orom and not rste orom?
Both series have the same function, but are designed for different Intel chipset series.
The Intel RST v9/10/11/12/13/14 series drivers and Intel RST v9/10/11/12/13/14 BIOS RAID modules series are designed for "normal" (non-Enterprise) Intel Chipset mainboards, whereas the Intel RSTe v3/4 series drivers and Intel RSTe v3/4 BIOS RAID modules have been designed by Intel just for the "Enterpriose Edition" chipsets, which have a CPU Socket 2011 or 2011-3 like X79 and X99.
X79 and X99 Chipset systems can use them both (but not simultaneously). Usually the RST/RSTe mode can be set and switched within the mainboard BIOS.
@Fernando , in reply to Post# 2054
Please, let me know if your are OK with this analysis:
1) On my X99 mboard both V14 and V4 are running well simultaneously.
As there are 2 independant SATA controllers in the X99 chipset, one is running iRST(e) (v14 branch) for pure AHCI or RAID configuration the other one is running iRSTe (enterprise) (v4 branch) for pure AHCI configuration.
Controllers 1 and 2 have differents DeviceIDs.
Seems Controller 1 catches automatically 2 differents DeviceIDs according the BIOS mode setting (AHCI or RAID). (see hereafter).
Controllers 2 keeps always the same DeviceID = 8D62:
2) Here is are tests results when I am running a RAID 0 (2 x SSD Samsung 840 PRO connected to Controller no: 1 to store datas.
a) When BIOS Mode AHCI is set, the RAID 0 volume is working fines.
So, it seems AHCI/RAID iRST(e) driver does a pure RAID software:
Looking at the DeviceID = 8D02
b) When BIOS Mode RAID is set, the RAID 0 volume is working fines.
So, it seems AHCI/RAID iRST(e) driver uses internal X99 RAID controller as a ‘hardware RAID’ in cooperation with the ‘BIOS RAID UEFI module v 14.6.0.2285’:
Looking at the Device ID = 2822
In the mainboard BIOS i have no switch available for RST or RSTe mode.
Only AHCI/RAID mode switch does exist for Controller 1 and only AHCI/IDE mode switch does exist for Controller 2.
@ 100PIER:
Thanks for your detailed informations about the Intel RST/RSTe Controllers of your X99 Chipset mainboard. Everything seems to be absolutely logical.
I didn’t know that, thanks!
@Fernando ,
I am happy you agree with my analysis.
Additional infos:
Controller 1 switch offers 3 SATA 6 Gb/s modes on 6 differents ports: AHCI, IDE, RAID
Controller 2 switch offers 2 SATA 6 Gb/s modes on 4 differents ports: AHCI, IDE. (raid option is not supported)
@Sonix,
Additional question about BIOS modding X99 motherboard.
I have used UBU 1.40 Option 1, number 7 to modd the original ASUS Sabertooth x99 BIOS 1901 and I succedeed Flash backing.
All the above tests were done with this modded BIOS with up to date iRSTe RAID EFI BIOS module.
However, can you explain me:
why 2 "OROM IRST RAID for SATA" identical occurences ?
why only "EFI iRST RAID for SATA" module modding is possible ? Why "EFI iRSTe RAID for SATA" is not offered ?
Here are the screen shoots:
SCANNING:
OPTION 1:
OPTION 1, NUMBER 7:
MODDED BIOS:
I also wonder, but this question should be to ask the manufacturer.
If the BIOS contains the files IRSTe update will be available. This BIOS file IRSTe absent.
@Sonix,
Thanks, I understand and agree with you.
Your tool detects correctly the contents of the original ASUS BIOS.
May be there two 'OROM IRST RAID for SATA" because there are 2 separate SATA controllers inside X99 chipset, but only one does support RAID functionality and so I see no logical reason to have 2 identical OROM for RAID…
@ SoniX,Fernando :
Weird RST modules, version 14.6.0.0. I don’t know why the build number is 0. They were found at a Dell BIOS probably.

Hi Fernando
Does update cpu microcode gain the ability to use the new cpu?
for example, a 1155 motherboard does not support 22nm ivy bridge cpu, if i mod its bios using UBU and add the new cpu code, and flash it,can it use 22nm ivy cpu?
the same as 1150 mb,if i update the microcode ,can it use broadwell cpu?
as i remembered (the am2+ to support am3, 65nm 775 to support 45nm 775), to support new cpu, microcode is not the only thing to do, there are some more module to replace to support them like agesa…
@ chrisr:
Welcome at Win-RAID Forum!
I don’t know that. You should better ask a CPU Microcode expert.

Dieter (alias Fernando)
It will be necessary to make a separate patch. Since OROM Intel LAN using an outdated Device ID.
