This was more laborious than I expected as the BIOS does not include the Q-Flash utility where you put the update file on a USB flash drive and let the update proceed.
When the J1900N-D3V arrived it was running on BIOS F2 so my first task was to update to version F3. This has the potential to be a bit of a pain however you don't have to do very much in the BIOS as there are view options at your disposal.Īssuming you have no desire to disable audio or USB you are pretty much limited to using the BIOS to check which drive is connected to which SATA connector, confirming the memory is recognised and setting the boot order of your various devices. Absent a Prema BIOS mod, this is really the only thing I need this for.Navigating the olde worlde AMI BIOS is a little tedious as you work your way around with the TAB and arrow keys – this is not a UEFI with mouse control. I can boot internally on either UEFI or legacy modes, it's just that both aren't visible at once. Anything internal is an either/or scenario. The exception is external booting media, like USB flash drives. As it is now, I can only see UEFI *OR* legacy boot options at any given time, but not both at once. My main interest is in being able to see and interact with both legacy and UEFI boot options at the same time. But I do know that many BIOSes have hidden options that aren't normally visible. I don't really need anything modded, per se, like advanced overclocking options, etc. Sager doesn't make my BIOS available for download, nor have they issued any updates for it. I plan on submitting a BIOS mod request at the forum, in exchange for a donation. But I need an exact byte-for-byte copy, and I need it to be complete.
Perhaps my BIOS is just too new? In this program I can also select custom sizes, the largest of which is 16384K. I have already tried backing up the BIOS with Universal BIOS Backup Toolkit, but it errors out with "Cannot identify the BIOS". I assume that AM is the BIOS, and Aptio is just the name of the setup utility. In my BIOS it says "American Megatrends" and "Aptio Setup Utility". I have a Sager NP9876/Clevo P870KM1-G gaming notebook.
