Notes:
1. Known Issue is defined as a potential RST issue that has been replicated internally by the Rapid Storage Technology team but has not been root caused to be an RST defect.
2. The RAID OROM & UEFI version for this release is 14.0.0.2134, the driver and user interface version is 14.0.0.1143.
· The Devslp tool is posted under the CLI tool components on VIP kit.
3. RST 14.0 release enables support for new platforms & features (includes legacy support for platforms and features supported in RST 13.5)
· Skylake mobile U/Y and desktop consumer chipset
· Support for PCIe NVMe storage devices
· Support for up to 3 PCIe storage devices
· Support for RAID0/1/5 volumes with PCIe storage devices
· Support for RTD3 on RAID volumes
· RCRs in RST 14.0 Beta
· Compliance with AHCI 1.3.1 Link Power Management specification (SIPM)
· Devsleep tool
· NVMe1.2 compliance
· NVMe Security Send and Security Receive (no boot support)
· NVMe Autonomous Power State Transitions
4. When RTD3 is enabled in BIOS, unable to create a RAID volume in UI or RST CLI. UI will report an error and volume will not be created. Bug affects Win8.1, BDW & SKL platforms. Unable to reproduce on Win10.
Workaround: Disable RTD3 in BIOS, then create desired RAID configuration in UI and afterwards re-enable RTD3 (or) to create RAID volume directly in BIOS/EFI. Fix will be available in future BIOS releases.
5. CAT error observed during OS install on RVP3 C0 (PCH-LP) with PCIe storage.
Workaround: In RVP BIOS, go to Intel Advanced Menu -> PCH-IO configuration -> PCI Express Configuration -> PCI Express Root Port 5 -> PCIE5 CLKREQ Mapping Override: enabled
CLKREQ Number: [1]
6. Please refer RST 14.0 Technical Product Specification (doc#551977) on CDI for the detailed information regarding the new feature support targeted for 14.0.
7. No RST support for PCIe storage devices in AHCI mode.
