unsupport bios?

[IDzul]

hi.. i have rog gl 553vd, and i got my intel optane yesterday, i really sure it will compatible with optane since it has Intel® Core™ kabylake i7 7700HQ Processor, M.2 Slot. 1x 2280 PCIe NVMe (M key), and it support UEFI boot and intel RST15.5 above.. but when i installed optane, it said "Unsupported bios or bios is set legacy mode" on intel optane app ver 16.x .. and i've found a method on intel discussion to use intel optane app ver 15.x .. i've tried it and it just said "unsupported bios" and "unsupported system drive" and now i just curious is rog gl553vd support intel optane or not? if it support, how can i fix this issue??

Thank you intel_admin

Hi ImadDarkness,

Thank you for posting in the Intel® communities.

I was checking the information of your laptop model in the following site, but I didn't find any reference to the Intel® Optane™ Memory: https://www.asus.com/us/Laptops/ROG-GL553VD/specifications/ ROG GL553VD | Gaming Laptop - ASUS USA , so that made me think that your system is not compatible with the module as ASUS* usually adds references to the module in the product specifications.

Considering this information, I checked the compatible chipsets that work with the module and the one used in your system (Intel® HM175 Express Chipset) is not in the list. This means that your system is not compatible with the Intel® Optane™ Memory. That's the reason of the message that you are getting in the Intel® Optane™ Application.

You can check the chipset compatibility list in the following site: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000026040/memory-and-storage/intel-optane-memory.html Software and Platform Support for Intel® Optane™ Memory

I hope this clarified your inquiry. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.

Have a nice day.

Hi ImadDarkness,

I completely understand what you mean, however I can't confirm if your chipset will be supported in the future.The supported chipsets are usually the ones used in Desktop computers, however it's up to the manufacturer if they design a laptop or a motherboard with the supported chipset or with a different one.So honestly, I cannot confirm if your laptop will support the module in the future.I hope this clarifies your doubt. If there is anything else I can help you with, feel free to ask.Regards,Diego V.
