Just edit the VendorID as "VEN_xxxx" and the DeviceID as "DEV_xxxx" - each ID with the shown characters. You can easily find out the vendor and device names of shown VendorID’s and DeviceID’s with other characters by doing a Google search.So if you want to extract or replace an Intel RAID ROM module, which is compatible with Intel’s ICH8R/ICH9R/ICH10R/5-Series/6-Series Chipsets, you have to look for a "PCI Option ROM" with the shown VendorID "8086" and DeviceID "2822", whereas users with an Intel X79 chipset mainboard should search for the "PCI Option ROM" with the Vendor ID "8086" and the DeviceID "2826". The DeviceID "2826" (= DEV_2826) is the "Intel(R) C600 Series Chipset SATA RAID Controller", which is the on-board Intel RAID Controller of mainboards with an Intel X79 chipset.So don’t worry about it, if you are checking a Desktop mainboard BIOS, but see "8086,282a" shown by the MMTool.īy the way: The shown digits of the Vendor and Device IDs don’t have any influence on the function of the BIOS or the ROM modules. That is why some mainboard manufacturers are lazy while building the BIOS file and give both types of mainboards (Desktop and Mobile) the same DeviceID (e.g. Important: Both Intel Devices DEV_2822 and DEV_282a need and are using exactly the same Intel RAID ROM module. The Device ID with the digits "282a" (= DEV_282a) is the "Intel(R) Mobile Express Chipset SATA RAID Controller" and the on-board Intel RAID Controller of mobile (laptop) mainboards with a Southbridge from ICH8M up. The Device ID with the digits "2822" (= DEV_2822) is the "Intel(R) Desktop/Workstation/Server Express Chipset SATA RAID Controller", which is the on-board Intel RAID Controller of mainboards with an ICH8R, ICH9R, ICH10R, 5-Series and 6-series Southbridge.

If you see more than 1 "PCI Option ROM" with the VendorID "8086" (= VEN_8086), you should check the associated Device ID:.

So if you are searching for any Intel PCI ROM module, you have to focus on all "PCI Option ROM" lines, where the "8086" is shown as VendorID. The chipset manufacturer with the VendorID VEN_8086 is the Company Intel. Non-UEFI MMTool - Finding the Intel RAID ROM Module.png 606×509 14.1 KB The vendor of the PCI ROM module is shown with the 4 characters (digits or letters) of his unique VendorID (VEN_xxxx) and the related device with the 4 characters (digits or letters) of its unique DeviceID (DEV_xxxx): After having done that, you will see the needed details within the "For Adapter ROM only" section of the MMTool GUI.

In this case you have to use an AMI Aptio UEFI MMTool (you can find the related Guide here:ī. If the MMTool v3.26 should not be able to open the AMI BIOS file, it is not an old AMI standard (non-UEFI) BIOS, but probably a much newer AMI UEFI BIOS file.Sorry but i strongly disagree with this and i thinck that AMI has as much right to protect their intellectual property as myself has to protect my private property and if i buy any PC with my hard earned money and the OEM of that computer unilaterally decided to impose draconian restrictions for whatever reason in their UEFI firmware provided by AMI so i can’t change some BIOS options and the only way to bypass this is to just steal AMI proprietary software to unlock the PC that i paid full price for it then so be it because both AMI and the OEMs are guilty of taking away my right to do whatever i want with my private property and any judge in any ‘court dispute’ will understand that if actually cared about justice (AMI can’t use EULAs in their defense here) but we live in such capitalistic dystopia that most likely any judge will get bribed to always rule in favor of the corps but regardless of that justice must always prevail by any means necessary.įeel free to delete my post to if you think the corpo overlords are gonna put you in prison for it or just hurt your feelings.Non-UEFI MMTool - Opening of a BIOS.png 606×509 12.8 KB
