Hi VKrut1,

 

Thank you for posting in the Intel® communities.

 

I understand you are getting issues when trying to setup the Intel® Optane™ Memory.

 

I also noticed that you have a setting called “Boot mode select” which is set to “LEGACY+UEFI”. I recommend you to set it to UEFI only because the module is not compatible with Legacy mode.

 

I also found some setup instructions for Intel® Optane™ Memory developed by MSI*, the manufacturer of your motherboard. I recommend you to check them and make sure everything is properly configured at BIOS level: https://us.msi.com/Landing/intel-optane-memory-motherboard

 

There are also some notes related to your specific motherboard model at the following site: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/Z270-SLI/Specification. I recommend you to check them too. Apparently, there are some restrictions about the SATA ports used and the M.2 slots:

 

  • "The SATA1, SATA5 and SATA6 ports will become unavailable with some conditions of M.2 devices."
  • "Please refer to the manual for M.2 slots with examples of various combination possibilities."

 

Finally, I also recommend you to confirm if there is any BIOS update available for your system.

 

Additionally, please download the Intel® System Support Utility (SSU) and run the full report. This tool will collect your system details and export them in a text file. Please attach this file in your response so I can check your system information: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25293/Intel-System-Support-Utility-for-Windows-

 

I’ll be waiting for your response.

 

Have a nice day.

Thanks for quick response.

 

I reconnected my ssd/hdd from sata1/5/6 to sata2/3/4 as you said

 

Also I changed twice Intel optane memory to m2 1 and 2 slot (and tried to run it) but it's doesn't matter wich slot I used, motherboard detected optane device in both of them but windows optane app can't see it

 

I changed boot to UEFI as you said

 

Also I found one thing, if I enable "m2 genie" in bios - windows optane app informs that can't detect optane device, but if I deactivate m2 geniue in bios - optane app informs that bios doesn't support error - 0xa008002d (but I use the latest version of bios - 7A59v1A which is supports optane, that instructed by msi at websise motherboard) or informs that I used Legasy boot (but it's not true it's set as UEFI) - screen attached

 

Also I see (when m2 genie in bios - deactivated ) remapping also deactivates automatically and nmve driver can't be run property from hardware side (exclamation mark in device manager )

I don't know what to do
