it seems that it is not so easy to install optane memory for casual users... even some IT specialist must waste a lot of time that optane can be used...

Hi AKazl1,

 

Thank you for posting in the Intel® communities.

 

I understand you have had some issues trying to setup the Intel® Optane™ Memory.

 

Indeed, there is a configuration that must be done in BIOS and OS level to get the module working in the system, however this process and configuration highly depends on every motherboard and every particular BIOS, and the system manufacturer too. That’s the reason why an application that configures all the system settings automatically cannot be developed. This would depend instead on every manufacturer, if they decide to develop such application. Actually, some of them have done it so you can setup the module in an easier way, but as I mentioned, this depends on every manufacturer.

 

Having said this, I can try to help you configuring the module in your system. We will just need some information about your system.

 

Please download the Intel® System Support Utility (SSU) from the following site and run the full report. This report will include all details of your system. Please export the data in a text file and share it in your response: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25293/Intel-System-Support-Utility-for-Windows-

 

Additionally, please take a screenshot of the Disk Management window. You can open Disk Management by pressing the Windows* key + x, and then selecting the Disk Management option from the menu that will appear.

 

Finally, please run the following commands in the Command Prompt to take another screenshot:

 

  1. Open the Command Prompt as Administrator.
  2. Run the command diskpart.
  3. Run the command list disk. Please take a screenshot of this output.

 

I will be waiting for your response.

 

Have a nice day.

 

Regards,

Diego V.
