RAID for Dell Optiplex 780

Thu, 17 Dec 2020 06:39:30 -0500

I have a Optiplex 780 running for 2 years now with a Xeon X3363 CPU, and using the Bios from cerverappz.
I was just running out of space and decided to upgrade the HDD's to 2x 3TB drives and have them setup in RAID.
Drives are detected by bios and windows, problem is that the intergrated Intel Raid doesnt support such large drives.
The Intel Option ROM is version 8.5.2.1002, and needs to swapped out by version 11.2.0.1527.
Found the ROM file for this on another board (attached). So far so good.

Problem is that when I open the file "O780-A15 E0 1067A-771.exe" in PhoenixTool 2.73 it gives an error and reboots my PC.
This happens as well when I try the command "O780-A15 E0 1067A-771.exe /writeromfile".

It should be a relatively easy task to complete, but with the error and restart happening, I am unable to complete it.

Any one able to help, or have any ideas?

GA-EP45T-UD3LR rev1.1 for 3TB drives

Thu, 12 Jul 2018 11:48:02 -0400

My garage computer containg the GA-EP45T-USB3 finally gave up due to the heat wave this summer. The sensors indicated wild fluctuating MB voltages which triggered frequent reboots. Since finding a direct replacement is difficult due to this MB's popularity, I tried a GA-EP45T-UD3LR rev1.1 which can also use the Xeon X5492 with the mod sticker & DDR3 RAM.

Updates to the original 12E bios include the following:

ICH10R southbridge - v11.2.0.1527 with the TRIM mod
RTL8111C ethernet - rtegrom266.lom
ICHAACHI 1.2 original from a EP45-USB3P
Updated NCPUCODE

Comparing benchmarks of the GA-EP45T-UD3LR rev1.1 with GA-EP45T-USB3 showed no significant differences, making this MB a reasonable replacement.

Option ROM for Dell Mini 1010

Sun, 07 Feb 2016 00:14:59 -0500

G/E, BM. i currently have 3 BIOSES that i need to have unlocked/modded so i can use the Sata Options. Everything works, but w/o the use of AHCI/RAID..an SSD is slower than molasses in February (laughing)..Dell didn't even put an option in for AHCI, so the BIOS will also have to be reprogrammed. the latest version for the BIOS is A11..& there are only the basic functions..no kind of advanced settings. now there COULD be a MOBO (motherboard) that has options for SATA, but i seriously doubt it. The BIOS is Phoenix. I tried using the Phoenix BIOS editor, but I saw no kind of advanced tabs..so if anyone can help out..or show me the way, I'd be most grateful. Thank all of you in advance. Peace..& God bless you & yours.

ASUS RAMPAGE III EXTREME BIOS - V1601 - Updated OROM MOD

Mon, 01 Feb 2016 03:30:09 -0500

This is a fork from ZioMod. He has moved on from this Motherboard and can no longer test and thus develop new updated BIOS'.
You can find information about his work in his original thread >here<

DISCLAIMER: bios is provided "as is". Flash it at your own risk! I won't be responsible for any damage.

BIOS Details:
Built from latest R3E BIOS (BETA) version. As I understand it, the only change from the official 1502 and the latest available 1601 R3E beta bios was Memory Compatibility.

The individual Option ROMs were then updated to newer firmware and/or BIOS versions. Option ROMs updated are IRST (Intel SATA/RAID Controller), Marvell (SATA-6G), Jmicron (PATA), NIC and injected ASUS SLIC 2.1 tables:

CPU Microcode Updated to latest [106A4 Revision 13 (2015-06-30), 106A5 Revision 1D (2018-05-11), 206C2 Revision 1F (2018-05-08), 206C0 Revision 1C (2009-12-14)].
INTEL ICH10R SATA RAID Controller: v13.5.0.2164 (SSD TRIM support in AHCI and RAID modes)
Marvell 91xx SATA 6G Controller - Bios : v1.0.0.1038*
Marvell 91xx SATA 6G Controller - Firmware: v2.1.0.1413
Marvell 91xx SATA 6G Controller - Bootloader: v1.0.1.0002b*
JMicron JMB36X Controller: v1.08.01 (AHCI Patched)
INTEL 82567V-2 Gigabit Network: v1.5.50
SLIC 2.1: ASUS (SSV3/MMtool method)
(* == patch was pre-existing from ZIO Mod S17)

WHICH TO CHOOSE:
Which to use:

Flash Sxx:
Only use if you run Windows 10 and want INTEL SATA in RAID mode.
Windows 10 requires updated RST software, which in turn requires newer ROM for compatibility.

Flash Sxxi:
If you run Windows 10 and use INTEL SATA in AHCI mode. Also for ANY other OS using either AHCI or RAID modes.
As no RST software compatibility needs to be overcome, it is best to run the proper ROM for our ICH10 chipset. (fastest benchmarks with this ROM).

Flash Sxxt:
If you need ALL the add-on hardware enabled at the same time.
the newer NIC OROM takes up too much memory to fit everything. This one uses the older/smaller OROM that can still fit in BIOS memory with all the other devices enabled.

DOWNLOAD LINK:
All my releases are now hosted via Gdrive. Download Link
NOTE: S23o is the three BIOS releases above with older CPU Microcodes. These are not patched for Spectre/Meltdown bugs, but also do not have the associated performance hit.

Recommended Win7 Driver for Mavell controller : v1.2.0.1049 WHQL for Win7-8 x86/x64
Recommended Win10 Driver for Mavell controller : v1.2.0.1049 WHQL for Win10 x86/x64

Recommended 32bit driver for Jmicron controller: 32bit JMicron JMB 36x RAID driver v1.17.65.11 WHQL
Recommended 64bit driver for Jmicron controller: 64bit JMicron JMB 36x RAID driver v1.17.65.11 WHQL

Looking for a Good version

Wed, 03 Jul 2013 07:54:11 -0400

I have the P6T Deluxe v2 board and I have a very old Intel RAID ROM (ver 8.0.0.1038). I am new to modding and I am trying to find out if I should update the Intel ROM

Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Currently I am running;
BIOS version 1202
Intel ROM - 8.0.0.1038 (set to RAID)
Intel RST driver - 12.6.3.1000 (using RAID driver)
Using Intel SATA ports for single drive SSD and single drive HDD (SSD has the O/S)

Did tests using AS SSD, CrystalDisk and Anvil, per the numbers this gave the best numbers in testing for me using the past 8 Intel RST drivers in both AHCI and RAID mode. See attahced

So looking for some advice and numbers to see if I should update the Intel ROM. Or maybe if someone can explain why I should update the Intel ROM since as I mentioned, I am new to this.

Thanks

GA-EP45T-USB3P rev1.0 for 3TB drives

Sat, 06 Apr 2013 14:42:19 -0400

If anyone is interested, I updated the GA-EP45T-USB3P rev 1.0 F2 BIOS with the latest Intel OROM 12.5.0.1815. and I'm testing it with RST 12.5.0.1066. After one day of testing, boots and sleeps fine. C1E and EIST was enabled in the BIOS but was inactive in windows till I physically performed a CLEAR BIOS on the MB, loaded the optimal defaults in the BIOS, and changed VCORE in the MIT from AUTO to NORMAL. CPU temperatures dropped from 49C to 33C with the core voltage idling at 1.1V vs the 1.34V

ICH10R southbridge - v12.5.0.1815
8111D ethernet - rtegrom253.lom
SATA2 chip - jmb362_C_1.07.28
AHCI-pchahci_1.20E
Gigabyte SLIC

Station drivers has firmware updates for the NEC/RENESAS USB3 Controller uPD720200 (3028 and 3034). Original is 3021. If anyone updated the USB3 firmware, please let me know how that worked out

Asus Rampage III Gene OROM Mod

Wed, 26 Dec 2012 09:25:15 -0500

New to the forums been lurking for awhile. I stumbled on this site when I began my search and some were able to load the newest OROM's into the BIOS for the Asus Rampage III Extreme thus enabling TRIM support under RAID0. I flipped through the - Asus Rampage III Extreme ZioMod Bios - thread as well as other areas on the site and didn't see what I was looking for so I thought I post my request. I have the Asus Rampage III Gene motherboard (the Micro ATX X58 equivalent of yours - http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_S.../#overview ) and was wondering if someone would be able to apply the same OROM mod's that say ZioGTS did to theRampage III Extreme BIOS to the one for my particular motherboard? The latest BIOS for the Asus Rampage III Gene can be found here - http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1...S-1003.zip

P6T with 2.2TB+ RAID support

Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:48:49 -0500

Hello everybody !

I am new here. I searched in this forum for an answer with no success, but if there is, forgive my newbieness

I've just received my two new WD RED 3TB, and want to create a RAID 1 on my Asus P6T mobo. Detected as 746GB in IMR ...

Couple of hours later, I had tried a lot of solutions with no real success ... Bios updated : Bios ASUS P6T

I saw this :

http://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-As...408-modded

And this :

http://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-As...0-RAID-mod

But it seems to need IMR 10.1.X.X to support 3TB HDD. I also read about 64K limit for this mobo, but not sure to understand all ...

I don't have the skills to try doing the job myself.

It will be really nice if somebody could help me (maybe just to say "not possible" ) !

More information on my configuration :

- Mobo Asus P6T (classical, with no "Deluxe" or SE")
- Non-RAID HDD for OS (W2K8 R2)
- 2x 3TB WD RED
- CPU I7-920
- Poor VGA card, no SLI / CrossFire
- No use of JMicron
- Use of Realtek

Thanks a lot !

Seldon
