Hi, I’m back again with another ME enabling request. I have a friend with a Optiplex 9010 that has factory disabled ME. I found that there was a post for a 7010, but none for a 9010. Can someone help guide me through enabling ME on the 9010? Does it use the same firmware as the 7010 like my 7040 used the 5040 firmware?
afaik(please dont just take my word for it) the 9010 and 7010 are identical save ONE thing; the 9010 has RAID support "built in". i never did figure out how exactly the RAID support was enabled on the 9010s, i believe it was simply a BIOS module or setting. I actually have a 9010 at home that I was just about to try to add NVME support to.
One thing I can say almost certainly is that you can not use the firmware from the 7040 or 5040 on the 7010/9010; they are completely different chipsets(the 7010 and 9010 are Q77/support sandy bridge CPUs, and if im not mistaken the 7040 uses something like a 100).
