Intel® Optane™ Memory Configuration
Troubleshooting
When you installed the operating system in AHCI mode, the system will be changed to 
RAID/ Optane mode after enabling Intel
®
 Optane™ Memory. If you want to disable Intel 
Optane Memory and switch BIOS setting from RAID/ Optane mode back to AHCI mode, 
that may cause operating system damage. MSI has developed a software assistance 
for this problem. You can disable Intel
®
 Optane™ Memory and switch back to AHCI 
mode while keep the system bootable with MSI SMART TOOL.
Please follow the steps below to disable Intel
®
 Optane™ Memory and set the SATA 
mode back to AHCI.
1.  Run MSI SMART TOOL.
2.  Click the OPTANE icon. (Note: the OPTANE icon is only available when Intel
®
 
Optane™ Memory has been enabled)
3.  Click Yes.
4.  Reboot System.
