Meanwhile, for the M.2 SSDs that contained OPROM, contact the SSDs’ vendors for Microsoft signed UEFI drivers. Otherwise, they will be only available for the data drive usage. Check the manual of Intel Desktop Responsiveness Technologies for the details of IRST setup. Copyright 2015 ASUSTeK Computer Inc. PAGE 3 Z97-A/USB 3.1 2.3.
