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.
