" rel="nofollow - Hi Asrock community, is there a way to enable VT-d on this brand new Mainboard ? Does anyone have a Beta Bios for the J3455M Board ? Thx in advance, Neo

" rel="nofollow - Noone ? I would be satisfied with a statement (e.g.): - next Bios/UEFI Release will implement VT-D Support - Releasedate e.g. Feb 2017 whatever. At the moment I'm completely replaning my "Server" Installation because of the missing VT-D BIOS/UEFI Support. |

The forums are not a substitute for actual tech support, we (moderators and other forum members) can only answer questions we know the answer to  -------------

Do contact ASRock as Xaltar suggests. They'll email you a new BIOS, 1.11?, that will allow enabling of VT-d. This seems to have been overlooked as I also have a very recent BETA BIOS for the J3455ITX board a Users as you needed. Please, when they email you the BETA will you return and PM me so that I may arrange to acquire said BIOS? I as a Moderator here pass them on to Users such as yourself. It would be appreciated greatly by others who follow in your footsteps until they do release a production non-BETA that incorporate VT-d. |

Any future Users coming to this Thread, if you make a post here _and_ PM me with your email address I'll fix you up with a link on my Google Drive to BETA BIOS 1.11 for the J3455M that corrects for the missing VT-d availability. |

Use a smallish 8-16GB thumb drive. Seems the larger the drive the more issues Users here experience. I've distributed the file you provided me twice now and both reported success. |

| Thanks for the hint, but the second stick has 8GB and I have fully formatted it - not quickformat |

Found a thread at Tomshardware, a guy used an external USB 2.0 harddisk, deleted all its partitions and created a partition with 200MB and it worked ... Holy moly .... Now I am busy screwing together an external drive with f**king old stuff of my hardware stock.

" rel="nofollow - hehehe, I just compared BIOS files for two J series boards I have files for. Ready for this? Both unpacked files have the exact same CRC32 hashes. PM me your email again and I'll let you compare, and decide. This files name is APLITX1.11.zip |

" rel="nofollow - You ARE placing the thumb drive in a USB 2.0 slot, right? Too, these are Instant Flash files. Access Instant Flash from within your BIOS, usually under Tools. |

So they really sent me the Update for the ITX board, filename says it too. Damn ... (I sent you one of the two files, you have) I Don't think, that ITX Bios will work with the J3455M board. Bios update doesn't work to prevent damage. And yes, I used the 2.0 USB slot ;)
