It worked also for my system:

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-F2A88XM-D3H
BIOS: AMI UEFI BIOS
CodeRush's UEFITool: UEFI Tool (link is in the first post)
NVME DXE: NvmExpressDxe_4.ffs

i'm a bios modding newbee but the guide was very clear. After i flashed the bios i removed all other harddrives and installed W10 on my m.2 Intel p660 ssd. I have a QNINE PCIe adapter in the upper PCIe 16x slot.
Thanks for the guide!!!

Hello all,
I'm trying tu add nvme support on my Gigabyte Z87M-D3H with no success,

I have download the last F11 bios an added the NvmExpressDxe_Small.ffs but the hard drive is not recognized under unraid
I wanted to try an older version of the bios but once in the bios it is not possible to flash an F11 bios with an older F10 bios...
SATA mode selection is in AHCI and I've cheched the modified bios, it contains well the NvmExpressDxe_Small line.

Anyone got a F11 modified bios for Z87M-D3H ?

Thanks !

@DocGloumy:
Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!

What means, that the hard drive isn't recognized? Do you see a device named "PATA" or PATA SS:" within the BOOT section of the BIOS?
If not, is the NVMe SSD properly connected via M.2>PCIe adapter with a suitable PCIe slot?
If you are unsure regarding the result of your BIOS modification, please attach the original and your modded BIOS as *.ZIP archive. Then we will do a look into them both.

Do you really believe, that such person will find and read your post on page 356 of this voluminous thread?
By the way: The Forum member Schots has the same mainboard as you and succeeded with the BIOS F10 (look >here<). The BIOS modification will work with the BIOS F11 as well.

Good luck!

@DocGloumy: Please answer my questions.

Effectively, no hard drive in the boot section (the system does not have any drives excepted the unraid usb key and the m2 pcie card)
And the hard drive is mounted on a asus adapter m2 to pcie 4x on the pcie4x slot of the motherboard.

I've put the modified bios in attached files

@DocGloumy:
Your modded BIOS looks to be ok.
Questions:
1. Which name did you give your modded BIOS?
2. How did you flash it (from within the OS or from within the BIOS)?
3. Which flashing tool did you use?
4. What makes you sure, that the BIOS has been successfully flashed?

4. the pc restart automatically after the flash process, I have just seen the version of my bios was passed from F9 to F11

To be sure I have also test with another car and m2 drive
Thanks for help Fernando

@DocGloumy:
Thanks for your answers.
Additional question:
Which BIOS settings have you chosen within the BIOS regarding CSM, "Secure Boot", "Fast Boot" and the support of Legacy/UEFI Option ROM modules?

Zitat von Fernando im Beitrag #4096
I was able to get the module named "NvmExpressDxe_Small" inserted "as is" by using the AMI Aptio V MMTool v5.0.0.7.
The 4MB sized BIOS, which has been modded by me, is attached. You may use it at own risk.

I found a bit time to try it, but without any good results:

+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| AMI Firmware Update Utility v3.04.03 |
| Copyright (C)2012 American Megatrends Inc. All Rights Reserved. |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Reading flash ............... done
Secure Flash enabled, recalculate ROM size with signature...
- FFS checksums ......... ok
4 - Error: ROM file ROMID is not compatible with existing BIOS ROMID.

I tried to turn off secure boot but same issue.
Windows 10 in AHCI mode on machine.
Any idea?

@Dabman:
The AFUWin protocol verifies, that you cannot get a modded BIOS successfully flashed by using the AMI AFUWin tool.
Please look into the start post of >this< thread for a better flashing method and ask there for help.

@Dabman:
If you want to get an NVMe SSD bootable, you have to set the "Secure Boot" BIOS setting to "DISABLED".
By the way: Attached is the F11 BIOS for your mainbord, where I have integrated the complete NvmExpressDxe_4 module. Feel free to flash it at own risk. Maybe it will help to solve your problem.

Ahoy, is there a way to pay someone to perform this changes?
I got a Supermicro X10SRL-F and would like to add support for NVMe SSDs to be able to boot from them, using PCIe x4 --> M.2 Adapter card.
