Intel Matrix Storage Manager Quick Guide for Acer Selected Veriton PC V1.1

1. Introduction

This document will assist customers in evaluating, configuring and enabling
RAID functionality on Acer RAID Ready platforms using the Intel® Matrix Storage
Manager software.
This document also describes RAID volume management such as creating, deleting,
and modifying volumes, common usage models, and any special notes necessary to
enable customers to develop their RAID-compatible products.
Selected high-end Acer desktop systems are configured as Intel RAID Ready
systems. A "RAID Ready" system can be upgraded to RAID0, RAID1, RAID5 or RAID10
using the RAID migration feature built into Intel Matrix Storage Manager 7.5.
This technology enables you to install additional SATA hard drives, and then
migrate a RAID Ready configuration to a RAID0, RAID1, RAID5 or RAID10
configuration.
Before you start to build your RAID system, please do check Section 3 "Warnings
and Reminders" for more detailed information. You can also check the on-line
user's manual for the Intel Matrix Storage manager in Windows for detailed RAID
function execution.
