[aldozc]

Hello


Please, I buy a Lenovo Thinkpad E540 with Intel HM87 EXPRESS Chipset (RAID supported according with intel tech specs) but I cant deploy a RAID, because is not enable on Lenovo BIOS Settings. Compatibility and AHCI are only available in SATA Controller Mode Option.



- Bios download link: https://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc...uj19ww.exe
- Bios version: 2.19
- My BIOS backup: attached (below)

Please, a I need RAID SUPPORT, and unlock Advanced Settings.

Thanks in advance.


Best,
