This document outlines the procedure for manually removing 
the Intel(R) Application Accelerator driver software, and
reconfiguring the system to use the native operating system
driver for managing storage controllers. To complete this 
procedure, first print this document. Then, complete Part 1 
to determine the mode that the system is running in. 
Depending on the mode determined in Part 1, complete either 
Part 2A or 2B.

WARNING: Reconfiguring the system may result in the loss of 
data on any RAID volumes currently on the system. Removing 
the driver from the boot drive or bootable RAID volume may
require you to reinstall the operating system. To preserve
data integrity, back up all data before proceeding.

* Part 1: Determining the System Mode
************************************************************

The steps for removing this software differ depending on 
whether the system is running in RAID mode or AHCI mode.
Mobile systems do not support RAID.

Determine the system's mode by identifying how the Serial 
ATA controller is presented within the Device Manager by 
completing the steps below:

1.  Open the Control Panel from the Start menu.

2.  Double-click on 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.  Look for an entry named 'SCSI and RAID Controllers'.
    If this entry is present, expand it and look for one of
    the following controllers. If this entry is not present,
    proceed with step 6:
    
    - 'Intel(R) 6300ESB SATA RAID Controller' 
      If the controller above is present, the system is an 
      ESB system in RAID mode. Continue with Part 2A below.

    - 'Intel(R) 82801FR SATA RAID Controller' 
      If the controller above is present, the system is an 
      ICH6R system in RAID mode. Continue with Part 2A 
      below.
   
    - 'Intel(R) 82801ER SATA RAID Controller'    
      If the controller above is present, the system is an 
      ICH5R system in RAID mode. Continue with Part 2A 
      below.

    - If none of the controllers above are shown, then 
      the system is not running in RAID mode. Continue with 
      step 6 below.

6.  Look for an entry named 'IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers'.
    If this entry is present, expand it and look for one of
    the following controllers:

    - 'Intel(R) 82801FR SATA AHCI Controller'
      If the controller above is present, the system is an 
      ICH6R system in AHCI mode. Continue with Part 2B 
      below.

    - If the controller above is not present, then 
      the system is not in AHCI mode. No other modes are 
      supported by the Intel Application Accelerator 
      software. Continue with step 7 below.

7.  The system does not appear to be running in RAID or 
    AHCI mode. If you feel that the system is running in 
    RAID or AHCI mode and you do not see any of the 
    controllers listed in the numbers above, contact 
    the system manufacturer or the place of purchase for 
    assistance. You cannot continue with Part 2 below 
    until the system mode is determined.



************************************************************
* Part 2A: System in RAID Mode
************************************************************

The procedure in this section can only be performed on a 
system that is in RAID mode. Do not continue with this 
procedure unless you have completed the steps in Part 1
above to determine this is true for this system. Before 
continuing, be sure to read the warnings below.

WARNINGS:
a. If a RAID 0 volume is deleted, all data on that volume 
will be permanently deleted. Back up all important data 
before continuing. 

b. If a RAID 1 volume is deleted and it is the second volume 
within a RAID array, all data on that volume will be 
permanently deleted. Back up all important data before 
continuing.


1.  Make sure you have read and understand the two warnings
    above.

2.  Reboot the system.

3.  Note whether you see a splash screen titled 'Intel(R)
    Application Accelerator RAID option ROM' during 
    the system startup. If so, continue with step 4 below. 
    If not, skip step 4 and continue with step 5 below.     

4.  Complete this procedure if the Intel Application 
    Accelerator RAID option ROM is installed:

    4a. Enter the Intel Application Accelerator RAID option
        ROM Setup by pressing Ctrl-i when prompted during 
        the system startup.
    4b. Once you have entered the setup program, select 
        menu option 2 to ‘Delete Volume’, ‘Del’ to select 
        the volume, and ‘Y’ to confirm deletion. Repeat this 
        step as necessary to delete all volumes that are 
        present. 
    4c. Exit the setup program.
    4d. Enter the system BIOS Setup (usually done by 
        pressing a key such as 'F2' or 'Delete' as soon 
        as the system begins to boot).
    4e. Change the IDE configuration for the Serial ATA
        Controller from 'RAID' to 'IDE'.

5.  Complete this procedure if Intel Application Accelerator
    RAID option ROM is not installed:

    5a. Enter the system BIOS Setup (usually done by 
        pressing a key such as 'F2' or 'Delete' as soon 
        as the system begins to boot).
    5b. Change the IDE configuration for the Serial ATA
        Controller from 'RAID' to 'IDE'.

6.  Reboot the system. If you have deleted a RAID volume 
    that contained the operating system, you will need to 
    reinstall the operating system.



************************************************************
* Part 2B: System in AHCI Mode
************************************************************

The procedure in this section can only be performed on a 
system that is in AHCI mode. Do not continue with this 
procedure unless you have completed the steps in Part 1
above to determine this is true for this system. It is
recommended that you back up all important data 
before continuing. 

1.  Reboot the system.

2.  Enter the system BIOS Setup (usually done by 
    pressing a key such as 'F2' or 'Delete' as soon as 
    the system begins to boot. 

3.  Change the IDE configuration for the Serial ATA
    controller from 'AHCI' to 'IDE'.

4.  Reboot the system. The operating system should 
    start up as before.


Note: If you experience any difficulties making these 
changes to the system BIOS, please contact the motherboard 
manufacturer or the place of purchase for assistance.
