**************************************************************************

* 4.  DETERMINING THE SYSTEM MODE

**************************************************************************



To use this Readme effectively, you will need to know what 

mode your system is in. The easiest way to determine the 

mode is to identify how the Intel(R) SATA controller is 

presented within the Device Manager. The following 

procedure will guide you through determining the mode.

1.  On the Start menu, select Control Panel.



In Microsoft Windows 7* or higher:

    

2.  Double-click 'System' from the small or large icon 

    view.



3.  Select 'Device Manager' in the left pane.



4.  In the Device Manager window, look for an entry named 

    Storage Controllers. If this entry is present, expand it

    and look for one of the controllers listed 

    in the Overview Section1. If the controller identified is 

    an Intel(R) SATA RAID controller, then the system is in RAID mode and

    using an Intel(R) SATA RAID controller.



    

5.  If none of the controllers above are shown, 

    then the system is not running in RAID mode and 

    you should continue with step 6 below.



6.  From the Device Manager, look for an entry named 

    'IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers'. If this entry is present, 

    expand it and look for one of the controllers listed 

    in the Overview Section1. If an Intel(R) SATA AHCI controller is 

    identified, then the system is in AHCI mode using an Intel(R)

    AHCI controller.



    If none of the controllers above are shown, then 

    your system is not in AHCI mode. No other modes are  

    supported by Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology 

    and you should continue with step 7 below.



7.  Your system does not appear to be running in RAID or 

    AHCI mode or does not have a supported Intel(R) SATA controller

    installed. If you feel that your system is running in 

    RAID or AHCI mode and you do not see any of the 

    controllers listed above, you may choose to contact 

    your system manufacturer or place of purchase for 

    assistance.





**************************************************************************

* 5.  INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE

**************************************************************************



5.1 General Installation Notes

* 7.  ADVANCED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

**************************************************************************



7.1 Available Setup Flags:



    -?             The installer presents a dialog showing

                   all the supported setup flags (shown 

                   here) and their usage, then quits without

           installing. 

    -A             Extracts driver and readme files (does 

           not install driver) to <path> if -P is also 

                   supplied; otherwise, the files are

                   extracted to the default location.

    -B             The installer will automatically reboot without

           prompting after the installation completes. This

           is only applicable when used with the -s switch.

    -l <LCID>      Forces a particular language install 

                   (See section 3 for a table mapping 

                   <LCID> to language).

    -Noicc         Does not install Intel(R) Control Center.

    -Nodrv         Does not install Intel(R) RST driver.

   

    -NoIRSTGUI     Does not create a start menu shortcut for the 

           UI console. Using this switch also disables Intel(R) CC 

           installation. Intel(R) CC is not removed if it is already 

           installed.

    -Noservice     Does not install the Event Monitor Service. This means

           that UI components also do not get installed.

    -Notray       Prevents the monitor applet from launching on 

           every reboot.

    -Overwrite     The installer will downgrade without interaction

           from the user.

    -P <path>      Changes default directory location for application

           files and supplies target path when combined with

           -A flag.                

    -report <path> Changes the default log path.

    -S             Silent install (no user prompts or Intel RST user interface

           display). If used in combination with -B, the installer 

           will automatically reboot.

    -ver           Displays driver versions.        

     



Notes:  Flags and their parameters are not case-sensitive.

        Flags may be supplied in any order, with the 

        exception of the -S and -G, which must be 

        supplied last. When using the -A flag, a target 

        path may be specified via the -P flag, 

        -G, -S, and -N flags are ignored. When using the 

        -P flags, there should be space 

        between the flag and the argument.



7.2 Use one of the following command examples to extract the 

    driver files from the SW package:



      c:\SetupRST.exe -a -p c:\<path>



    When the command is run, the installer executes and a prompt will

    display to confirm that files were extracted successfully; This 

    will not install the driver; it will only extract the driver files 

    to <path>. After the extraction is completed, the driver 

    files can be found in <path>\Driver.

        c. Enable Only Master Disk





*****************************

* 11.b.    UEFI Driver/BIOS

*****************************

The Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology - UEFI UI provides pre-OS RAID volume 

management which enables the following:





1. Create RAID Volume

   Use this option to create one or two RAID volumes.



2. Delete

   Click on a RAID volume then use this option to delete the RAID volume.

**************************************************************************

* 12.  OPTIONS TO RESET THE RAID VOLUME In The Pre-OS UI's

**************************************************************************

Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology - pre-OS user interfaces provide

two methods for resetting the RAID volume:

1. Delete RAID Volume

2. Reset Disks to Non-RAID



   Differences between the options are noted below. Users are 

   advised to select the option based on the situation.



12.1 Delete RAID Volume



     When a RAID volume is deleted, RAID metadata on the 

     participating disks is erased and sector zero is cleared;

     as a result, the partition table and file system related data 

     are reset. Windows installer will not see any invalid data 

     at the time of OS installation. This is the recommended 

     method for reconfiguring the RAID volume and installing OS 

     on it.



12.2 Reset Disks to Non-RAID



     This option is used to reset the metadata on the disk which 

     participates in more than one RAID volume in single 

     operation. It should be used if 'Delete RAID Volume' option 

     fails for any reason and to reset a disk that has been 

     marked as Spare and offline member. When a disk in the RAID 

     volume is reset to non-RAID, RAID metadata is erased. 

     However, partition table and file system related data still 

     exists, which may be invalid. This might cause Windows 

     installer to misinterpret the information available on the 

     'reset disk' at the time of installation. This could result 

     in unexpected behavior in OS installation.





**************************************************************************

* 13.  VERIFYING THE VERSION OF THE Pre-OS UEFI Driver/OptionROM SOFTWARE

* If you are an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Independent Hardware Vendor (IHV), or Independent Software Vendor (ISV), this complete LICENSE AGREEMENT applies;
* If you are an End-User, then only Exhibit A, the INTEL SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT, applies.

For OEMs, IHVs, and ISVs:

LICENSE. This Software is licensed for use only in conjunction with Intel component products.  Use of the Software in conjunction with non-Intel component products is not licensed hereunder. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Intel grants to you a nonexclusive, nontransferable, worldwide, fully paid-up license under Intel's copyrights to:
	a) use, modify and copy Software internally for your own development and maintenance purposes; and
	b) modify, copy and distribute Software, including derivative works of the Software, to your end-users, but only under a license agreement with terms at least as restrictive as those contained in Intel's Final, Single User License Agreement, attached as Exhibit A; and
	c) modify, copy and distribute the end-user documentation which may accompany the Software, but only in association with the Software.

If you are not the final manufacturer or vendor of a computer system or software program incorporating the Software, then you may transfer a copy of the Software, including derivative works of the Software (and related end-user documentation) to your recipient for use in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, provided such recipient agrees to be fully bound by the terms hereof.  You shall not otherwise assign, sublicense, lease, or in any other way transfer or disclose Software to any third party. You shall not reverse- compile, disassemble or otherwise reverse-engineer the Software.

Except as expressly stated in this Agreement, no license or right is granted to you directly or by implication, inducement, estoppel or otherwise.  Intel shall have the right to inspect or have an independent auditor inspect your relevant records to verify your compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

CONFIDENTIALITY. If you wish to have a third party consultant or subcontractor ("Contractor") perform work on your behalf which involves access to or use of Software, you shall obtain a written confidentiality agreement from the Contractor which contains terms and obligations with respect to access to or use of Software no less restrictive than those set forth in this Agreement and excluding any distribution rights, and use for any other purpose.
Otherwise, you shall not disclose the terms or existence of this Agreement or use Intel's name in any publications, advertisements, or other announcements without Intel's prior written consent.  You do not have any rights to use any Intel trademarks or logos.

Except as otherwise expressly provided, Intel grants no express or implied right under Intel patents, copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights. You may transfer the Software only if the recipient agrees to be fully bound by these terms and if you retain no copies of the Software.

LIMITED MEDIA WARRANTY. If the Software has been delivered by Intel on physical media, Intel warrants the media to be free from material physical defects for a period of ninety (90) days after delivery by Intel.

SOME JURISDICTIONS PROHIBIT EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER LEGAL RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.
