[HowTo] Get full NVMe Support for all Systems with an AMI UEFI BIOS



Ok, so I will do this: ( it could be useful to others write the procedure)

1) Checking my Intel ME hardware version: (I saw that exist "v10.0 r6 for 8-series systems with ME v10.0" but I’m sure that the best is what you say, that is "v9.5 r5 for 8-series with ME v9.5"

2) Make Bios backup
- Open Windows prompt and reach FPT & AFU path and do:

From Windows with AFU* >> "afuwin.exe backupBIOSname.bin /0" <— it’s a ZERO or an O letter??
(If someone want to use DOS version of AFU command is "AFUDOS.exe backupBIOSname.bin /o" <— it’s a ZERO or an O letter?? )
* (for mine is Aptio 4 version)

From Windows with FPT "fptW.exe -d backupbios.bin" (If someone want to use DOS version of FPT command is "fpt.exe -d backupbios.bin" )

- Save backup file on an external storage and send to my Email

3) Flashing Modded Bios with FPT (In this example modded Bios file is called "BIOSM1.rom" )
- Open Windows prompt and reach FPT path and write:

"FPTW.exe -F BIOSM1.rom -savemac -BIOS" ( If someone want to use DOS version of FPT command is "FPT.exe -F BIOSM1.rom -savemac -BIOS" )

4) Reboot


Thanks, I’ll write to you if everything went well!


P.S. Excuse Me @Fernando , in this guide it is not specified that, before insert the NVMe module, need to extract the AMI Capsule with "Extract body" command.
Maybe it’s not normally necessary but I thought it was useful to tell you
