************************************************************
* 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 following controllers:

- 'Intel(R) ICH8R/ICH9R SATA RAID Controller'
If the controller above is present, the system is
an ICH9R system in RAID mode and no further action
is required

- 'Intel(R) 82801HEM RAID I/O Controller'
If the controller above is present, the system is
an ICH8ME system in RAID mode and no further action
is required

- 'Intel(R) ICH8R/ICH9R SATA RAID Controller'
If the controller above is present, the system is
an ICH8R system in RAID mode and no further action
is required

- 'Intel(R) 631xESB/632xESB SATA RAID Controller'
If the controller above is present, the system is
an 631xESB/632xESB system in RAID mode and no further
action is required

- 'Intel(R) 82801GHM SATA RAID Controller'
If the controller above is present, the system is
an ICH7MR system in RAID mode and no further action
is required

- 'Intel(R) 82801GR/GH SATA RAID Controller'
If the Controller above is present, the system is
an ICH7R/DH system in RAID mode and no further action
is required.

- 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:

- 'Intel(R) 82801IR/IO SATA AHCI Controller'
If the controller above is present, the system is
an ICH9R system in AHCI mode and no further action
is required

- 'Intel(R) 82801HBM AHCI I/O Controller'
If the controller above is present, the system is
an ICH8M system in AHCI mode and no further action
is required

- 'Intel(R) 82801HR/HH/HO SATA AHCI Controller'
If the controller above is present, the system is
an ICH8R system in AHCI mode and no further action
is required

- 'Intel(R) 631xESB/632xESB SATA AHCI Controller'
If the controller above is present, the system is
an 631xESB/632xESB system in AHCI mode and no further
action is required.

- 'Intel(R) 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller'
If the controller above is present, the system is
an ICH7M system in AHCI mode and no further action
is required.

- 'Intel(R) 82801GR/GH SATA AHCI Controller'
If the controller above is present, the system is
an ICH7R/DH system in AHCI mode and no further action
is required.

- 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.

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
