How do you change the card so that it doesnt boot in bios. I am trying to use it for hot swap on external drive with SATA plug.

My guess is that you need to change the device boot order/priority in you motherboard bios. http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ss/bootorderchange.htm

The best was is to download the newest BIOS from ASUS and put it on a USB drive. You can then use the BIOS update utility built into the BIOS to update it.

I have not over clocked mine, but it is a dual bios, one of the bios you can not change, the other you can mess with it all you want. So if you tweak it too much and do some setting that makes it not want to work, you flip a switch on the card to the factory bios and your back in action.

There is not really a whole lot you can do my suggestion would be change the MB,if that is not the case then maybe try considering changing back to the case the MB came out of least it had the proper wiring to connect to the Motherboard for the case,I hope these helped.

Yes, that's what I did. Just make sure to change the boot order in the bios to your external optical disk, then back to hdd as primary when finished.

I had the same mobo and the same issue. Removing the sink can cause damage to the chipset if your computer runs too hot. I also noticed that the card touches the sata ports leaving the card to not properly seat into the pcie slot. This too can cause issues as your card can short out. I returned my mobo and bought a GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3. By far the best mobo i have ever owned.

It wasn't for me. I have a regular BIOS system (not the UEFI) so I was not able to use any drives connected to it to boot from. But it does work well for secondary drives.

At the heart of most PCIe is a chip from Marvel. SI-PEX40057 provides four SATA III ports. Slip it into a x2 PCIe receptical on your MOBO. Fire it up, go to device Manager in windows, find the new hardware (probably have an orange question mark )put the little CD that came with the card in your CD/DVD drive, and have the "new driver" browse to your CD. Reboot, check device manager to make sure the drivers loaded properly. Plug your SSD in and your good to go. One word of caution; if your computer has a buss for SATA II, the new card won't help you. Good Luck

I would go into the bios settings of your machine, if you are computer savy, and set the bootup list to include usb devices. Plus move the usb device as the first device. If the usb device is not attached, the system will default to the next device on the list. I have not tried this myself, but should work. Hope this helps.

I have not checked since I have no requirement to modify the BIOS. You can probably have more luck going through thinkpad user groups.

Go to the boot menu. BIOS. Under legacy settings you have to change it to allow the computer to recognize the card. Especially for Windows 8. Good Luck

Hello, I bought it some months ago.Just use the SATA cable and the power cable connected to your mother board and that's it.

Mine is in a headless server, Win 8.1 Pro. I can't get into the BIOS without hooking it up. If I knew what you were looking for I'd like to help.

I also installed this memory in 2 different D620 laptops and I didn't have to do anything in the Bios. the memory was just recognized and worked great. maybe you got a bad one or something else (like the keyboard cable) got disconnected when you installed it? Good luck John!

I had 10 HDDs connected and every time it boots one or two drives were missing, I RMA'd it and tried another one, same exact issue. This board is having serious SATA issues. Got rid of it and went with different board.

Hello fellow Transcend card user: First of all, I am not using my card in a RAID configuration. However, I do believe your assumption is correct. I have an ASUS MoBo and to access the installed RAID functionality of the MoBo, I have to attach the hard drives directly to a specific set of SATA III I/O ports. You may want to check your MoBo manual for such requirements. You may also want to pose this question to your Mobo manufacturer. Further, you may want to consider running your RAID configuration from a USB-3 and/or e-SATA external RAID enclosure. Hope this information can be of some help - Good luck.

I dont see how the bios is relevant, if it is not posting something is dead. Start with memory, switch slots eventually try stick individually if there is more than one. If u are using a kaveri it should post with no bios update since the chipset is for kaveri, if using richland or trinity also
