AMD AHCI controller driver distribution list

Version 1.3.001.0276, 02/14/2017

----------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Installation Notes:
-------------------

The driver can be installed either during OS setup or as an update 

To install the driver during OS setup use the setup dialog window (use the advanced settings to configure the Windows Setup program to use the specific driver; click Load Driver to load the specific driver from the media that includes the driver).

To install the driver as an update use the Windows Device Manager.

Note: - Default AHCI LPM setting in balanced power plan is set as HIPM + DIPM in DC mode and HIPM in AC mode to improve battery backup and also reserve performance if there is power plugged in. 


Implementation Notes:
---------------------

The amdsata driver package provides Port Multiplier support, but because of Port Multiplier HW inconsistency and boot timing negative impact it is enabled on eSATA ports only.
This makes impossible a scenario when OS needs to be installed using devices behind a Port Multiplier; to enable OS installation using devices behind a Port Multiplier, Port Multiplier support needs to be enabled in the inf file and OS(Win8) distribution media needs to be updated with the Port Multiplier support enabled driver; BIOS support for Port Multiplier is required as well.
See the OEM.doc for details on the inf file settings.
