Disable Intel boot agent X10SRA

[Weapon]

Does anyone know how to disable the Intel boot agent on a Supermicro X10SRA? It comes up like 3 times during the boot process and makes bootup take forever.

I’ve tried disabling a bunch of different stuff in the BIOS and ran some utility I found on intel.com, no success so far.

This system is just an at home workstation nothing fancy so I don’t care about booting from LAN or anything like that.

Check if the BIOS settings under input/output, PCI tab the OptionROM for NICs is disabled

One of them was enabled so I disabled it, but it made no difference to the bootup sequence

I'm an idiot. It's from my X520 NIC.

edit: I actually have a X540-T2 NIC. I messed around with the Intel BootUtil and driver settings in Windows, still no luck disabling the boot agent. Then I went back into the BIOS and disabled the OptionROM for the PCI-E slot the NIC is installed (actually all of them). Finally success!
