When the Option ROM Launch Policy is set to one of the UEFI options, the Intel option ROM conguration
utility does not run at POST. The user must press Esc and select 3rd Party Option ROM Management (F3) or
press F3 at boot to directly launch 3rd Party Option ROM Management.
To congure M.2 SSDs for RAID, you must enable remapping in BIOS. Remapping requires the following
settings in BIOS.
1. Go to Advanced > System Options, and then select Congure Storage Controller for RAID to enable
RAID.
2. Go to Option ROM Launch Policy, and then select All UEFI or All UEFI Except Video.
3. Go to Advanced > System Options > RST Remapping, and then select Enable. RST Remapping will not
appear in the BIOS menus until you perform steps 1 and 2.
Conguring the system BIOS to enable embedded SATA RAID functionality
The Z1 G3 Workstation defaults to RAID emulation mode. RAID emulation mode includes the benets of AHCI
with the added benet of supporting RAID congurations. If RAID mode has been disabled, follow the steps
below to change it back.
CAUTION: Changing SATA emulation modes after the operating system has been installed will prevent the
system from booting and require reinstallation of the operating system. Back up your data before changing
SATA emulation mode. Disabling RAID, changing to All Legacy Option ROM Launch Policy, or disabling
remapping will destroy data that was on M.2 SSDs congured for RAID.
1. During startup, press F10 to open the Computer Setup (F10) Utility. Use the mouse or arrow keys to
navigate and select options.
2. Select Advanced > System Options, and then press Enter.
3. Select Congure Storage Controller for RAID.

Option ROM Launch Policy set to All Legacy
●
When RAID mode is enabled, the Legacy Option ROM will display at POST when two drives are attached
to the same controller or if a single device contains RAID metadata indicating a failed or degraded RAID.
●
RAID can only be congured using SATA drives in Legacy Option ROM.
●
Remapping of M.2 NVMe SSDs is not supported so M.2 NVMe RAID cannot be congured.
