UEFI BIOS MSI UEFI BIOS is compatible with UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) architecture. UEFI has many new functions and advantages that traditional BIOS cannot achieve, and it will completely replace BIOS in the future. The MSI UEFI BIOS uses UEFI as the default boot mode to take full advantage of the new chipset’s capabilities. However, it still has a CSM (Compatibility Support Module) mode to be compatible with older devices.
BIOS Setup The default settings offer the optimal performance for system stability in normal conditions. You should always keep the default settings to avoid possible system damage or failure booting unless you are familiar with BIOS. ⚠⚠Important ∙∙ BIOS items are continuously update for better system performance. Therefore, the description may be slightly different from the latest BIOS and should be for reference only. You could also refer to the HELP information panel for BIOS item description.
Resetting BIOS You might need to restore the default BIOS setting to solve certain problems. There are several ways to reset BIOS: ∙∙ Go to BIOS and press F6 to load optimized defaults. ∙∙ Short the Clear CMOS jumper on the motherboard. ⚠⚠Important Be sure the computer is off before clearing CMOS data. Please refer to the Clear CMOS jumper section for resetting BIOS.

AMD RAID Configuration The following are the RAID levels supported by RAIDXpert2. RAID 0 RAID 1 (Striping) breaks the data into blocks which are written to separate hard drives. Spreading the hard drive I/O load across independent channels greatly improves I/O performance. (Mirroring) provides data redundancy by mirroring data between the hard drives and provides enhanced read performance.
Initializing Disks New disks and legacy disks must be initialized before they can be used to create an AMD-RAID array. Initialization writes AMD-RAID configuration information (metadata) to a disk. ⚠⚠Important ∙∙ If a disk is part of an AMD-RAID array, the disk cannot be selected for initialization. To initial the disk anyway, delete the AMD-RAID array. Data on the disk is deleted during initialization so ensure the correct disks are chosen to initialize. ∙∙ A legacy disk can contain valid data.
Creating Arrays Arrays can be created after the disks are initialized. ⚠⚠Important ∙∙ For redundant arrays, the Create process is not started until after the operating system and AMD-RAID OS drivers have been installed and the system has booted to the operating system. However, the arrays are immediately available to use for either a bootable array or a data array. ∙∙ Array numbers are valid only for a given boot and might be different in the RAIDXpert2 Configuration Utility and RAIDXpert2.
Deleting Arrays ⚠⚠Important ∙∙ Deleting an array permanently destroys all data that is on the array. This action cannot be undone and it is very unlikely that the data can be recovered. ∙∙ Do not delete the first array listed in the Arrays section, if it is the AMD-RAID bootable array. Doing this deletes the operating system and AMD-RAID files. To delete an array 1. As previously mentioned, enable RAIDXpert2 Configuration Utility. 2.
Installing RAID Driver New Operating System Installation The following details the installation of the drivers while installing operating system. 1. During the operating system installation, after selecting the location to install Windows click on Load driver button to install a third party RAID driver. 2. When prompted, insert the USB flash drive with AMD RAID Drivers and then click Browse. ▪▪To make an AMD RAID Drivers USB flash drive. Insert the MSI Driver Disc into the optical drive.
