* 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 Serial ATA controller is

presented within the Device Manager. The following

procedure will guide you through determining the mode.

1. On the Start menu:

1a. For Windows* Vista or later operating systems,

select Control Panel.

2. Open the 'System' applet (you may first

have to select 'Switch to Classic View').

3. Select the 'Hardware' tab.

4. Select the 'Device Manager' button.

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

'Storage Controllers' for Windows Vista and

'SCSI and RAID Controllers' for Windows XP and later

operating systems.If this entry is present,

expand it and look for one of the controllers listed

in the Overview Section1. If the controller identified is

a RAID controller, then the system is in RAID mode.

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 following

controllers If this entry is present,

expand it and look for one of the controllers listed

in the Overview Section1. If an AHCI controller is

identified, then the system is in AHCI mode.

If none of the controllers above are shown, then

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

supported by the Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager

software and you should continue with step 7 below.

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

AHCI mode. 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.

* 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.

-A Extracts all files (does not install

driver) to <path> if -P is also

supplied; otherwise, the files are

extracted to the default location.

-B Forces a system reboot after installation.

-O<name> Allows for the customization of the

program folder name for the Intel(R)

Matrix Storage Console, which will appear

in the Start, 'All Programs' menu.

-P<path> Supplies target path when using -A flag.

-N Installs all components except driver.

-NoGUI Installs only the driver; the Intel(R)

Matrix Storage Console, Event Monitor,

and Tray icon applet are not installed.

-NoMon Disables the Event Monitor which

consists of the Disk Monitor Service and

the System Tray icon applet.

-S Silent install (no user prompts).

-BUILD Displays build information.

-G <number> Forces a particular language install

(See section 3 for a table mapping

<number> to language).

-f2<path\name> Creates a log file in <existing path>

with <name>; this is to be used during

silent installation. There cannot be

a space between -f2 and <path\name>,

and the path must exist prior to

installation.

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, and the -O,

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

-P, -O, and -f2 flags there should be no space

between the flag and the argument. When using the -f2

flag, a log file name and path must be specified, and

the path must exist prior to the installation.

7.2 Use one of the following command examples to extract the

driver files from the different package types:

c:\iata_cd.exe -a -a -pc:\<path>

c:\iata_enu.exe -a -a -pc:\<path>

c:\setup.exe -a -pc:\<path>

When the command is run, the installation process begins;

simply click through the dialogs as prompted. 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.

7.3 To install the RAID driver on Windows* XP, as outlined in the Microsoft

document 'Deployment Guide Automating Windows NT Setup',

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

* 10. ENTERING THE OPTION ROM USER INTERFACE

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

Use the following steps to enter the Intel(R) Matrix Storage

Manager option ROM user interface:

1. Boot the System.

2. Press CTRL-I when the

'Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager option ROM vX.y.w.zzzz'

banner screen appears.

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

* 11. OPTION ROM RAID VOLUME MANAGEMENT

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

The Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager option ROM 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 RAID Volume

Use this option to delete a RAID volume.

3. Reset Disks to Non-RAID

Use this option to reset a RAID configuration to a

non-RAID configuration.

4. Recovery Volume Options

If a recovery volume is present, use this option to

a. Disable Continuous Update

b. Enable Only Recovery Disk

c. Enable Only Master Disk

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

* 12. OPTIONS TO RESET THE RAID VOLUME IN OPTION ROM

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

Intel(R) Matrix Storage option ROM user interface provides

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,

that is 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 OPTION ROM SOFTWARE

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

1. Use the following steps to identify the version number of

the Intel(R) Matrix Storage option ROM:

- Enter the Intel(R) Matrix Storage option ROM user

interface using the steps detailed in section 10.

- The software version will be displayed in the user

interface banner:

'Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager option ROM vX.y.w.zzzz'

X.y.w.zzzz is the version number of the option ROM

installed on your system.

X.y.w - Product release number

X - Major number

y - Minor number

w - Hotfix number

zzzz - Build number
