Hello everyone!

Does anybody knows when will be a BIOS release for Intel Optane support?

HP Pavilion Power 15-cb0xx have the HM175 Chipset which is compatible with Optane.

A welcome feature.

Thank You!

I do not think a BIOS update will help a CPU that does not support IOM.

 

And if there could be a BIOS update for that it would have to come from Intel.

Welcome to the HP Support Community  @mjnesteves 

 

The BIOS is just part of the prerequisite to install an Intel Optane SSD. 

 

What CPU do you have installed???

My laptop has a Kaby Lake i7 7700HQ.

The Installation Guide for Optane v2 say that the technology is available for the Kaby Lake architecture with the HM175 Chipset and RST with version 15.5+.

So, the hardware is available, the software is too, but, according with some other users in this forum, is missing a BIOS update to support this. My computer has F.17 Rev.A BIOS.

Thank you!
