Fujitsu Celsius R930 (D3118-A2) unlocked BIOS + whitelist removal

[kotbazilioi]

I have flashed this bios, but I cannot make ssd appear in bios. Did you manage to see the ssd at the bios stage? Thank.

Yes, I boot my linux from SSD without any problem. NVME are not supported by BIOS but SDD are fine as they are like any other SATA drive

Hi there, someone has successfully boot directly on a NVME disk on D3118-a2 mobo?
Currently I have 2 E5-2643 V1 cpus, is this mobo bios compatible with V2 E5 cpus?
thanks

My previous BIOS does not support nvme booting.

If you use the one attached to this message, nvme booting works perfectly, at least in UEFI mode.

When a NVME is plugged, a new boot entry named "PATA SS" is listed.

About E5 v2 CPUs, I don't know if it supports all v2 CPUs but I use E5-2630L v2 without any problem. I assume BIOS at least supports all v2 CPUs listed in datasheet of R930.

Hi!
Please help me! Officially flashed version 1.8 on R930. The firmware was successful. I entered Bios and configured it. Restart. And after that, the computer gives 5 BIOS signals and that's all. SMOS reset do not help. Are there any options. Thanks!

How about D3118-A12 (CELSIUS R920) bifurcation support ?

[qix67]

It should be possible to do it. Option exists in admin menu

I added NVME boot support, but still can not "activate" Admin menu.

Seems to me that DXE fjHiddenAdminPage rewrites it.
Tried to disassembly of the above: Still have no glue what activates it. It's not "service" jumper on the board and no F11 derivates.

Any help ?

What changed did you make ?

In my bios, I replaced
0A 82 12 06 28 03 01 00  (28 03 was my Question Id)
by
19 82 12 06 AA 00 01 00  which means Gray Out If (19 82) on questionId 0xAA.

I chose QuestionId 0xAA because it seems to be always enable. ex:
0x3B079    Gray Out If {19 82}
0x3B07B        QuestionId: 0xAA equals value 0x1 {12 06 AA 00 01 00}
0x3B081        Text: Statement.Prompt: PCI Bus Driver Version, TextTwo: 00.00 {03 08 3E 09 40 09 3F 09}
0x3B089    End If {29 02}

This way, whatever fjHiddenAdminPage DXE does, menu is never hidden
