* 1. OVERVIEW

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

The Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager is designed to provide functionality for

the Intel(R) SATA RAID Controller. This product is available for use on

Pentium(R) 4 processor-based systems with an Intel(R) ICH6R, ICH7R, ICH8R, ESB2 and

ICH9R. I/O Controller Hub and running Microsoft* Windows* XP,

Microsoft* Windows* 2000, or. Microsoft Windows* Server products. Software

installation is flexible and fully automated.

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

* 2. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

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

1. The system must contain the following Intel(R) products:

* Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 Processor

* Intel(R) ICH7R, ICH7MR, ICH8R, ICH8M-E, ICH9R, ICH9M-E, ICH10R or ESB2 I/O Controller Hub

2. Dos Environment

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

* 3. Executing the Test

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

1. Enable the RAID Option ROM from system BIOS.

2. Make sure there is one SATA hard drive attached to at least two SATA

ports controlled by the Intel(R) I/O Controller Hub.

3. There is no need to create any RAID volumes in order to execute this test.

4. From a DOS prompt, enter the following

c:\RAIDcply.exe

You may have the utility redirect the results to a text file by using the

following command:

c:\RAIDcply > test1.txt

--- IMPORTANT ---

Always reboot the computer before running RAIDcply. Never run RAIDcply

a second time without rebooting. RAIDcply's tests for register locking

will generate false positives on the second run because RAIDcply.exe will

lock the register itself the first time the program is executed.

entry and incrementing the 40:75 drive count) any of the hard drives

that are controlled by the Option ROM. Failing this test can result in

user data corruption.

Severity: HIGH

7.2 BIOS Updating INT 15h E820 Memory Map

Checks that the E820 Memory Map is consistent with the EBDA pointer

located at 40:0E. When the RAID Option ROM loads, it claims a portion

of memory immediately below EBDA. It also updates the EBDA pointer at

40:0E. It is expected that BIOS detect this change after the RAID

Option ROM exits and update the memory map to show that this memory is

now reserved. Failing this test has the potential to cause software

compatibility issues.

consistent with the EBDA pointer located at 40:0E. When the RAID Option

ROM loads, it claims a portion of memory immediately below EBDA. It

also updates the EBDA pointer at 40:0E. It is expected that BIOS detect

this change after the RAID Option ROM exits and update the available

memory size at 40:13. Failing this test has the potential to cause

software compatibility issues.

Severity: HIGH

7.4 Verify ITM with RAID Int13h Funct26h Support

Performs an int13h funct26h call on a hard disk or volume located at DOS disk

ID 0x81 if the OROM is Intel Turbo Memory Capable. Failing this test indicates

that the BIOS is not preserving the EDX and AH register set by the RAID OROM after handling

the int13h funct26h call.

Severity: HIGH

8. Interrupt Settings Tests

8.1 RAID Controller IRQ

Reports the IRQ number assigned to the RAID Controller.

Severity: Status Only

8.2 Clear Spurious Interrupts on RAID Controller

Makes sure interrupts on the SATA Controller are always handled.

Failing this test can result in Blue Screen crashes in Windows.

Severity: HIGH

8.3 Performance Enhancement Semaphore at 40:8E

Makes sure BIOS puts a non-zero value at 40:8E to signal that an

interrupt occurred on the RAID Controller. Implementing this semaphore

is optional but doing so can result in a 10%-30% performance

enhancement.

Severity: Status Only
