Configuring an Intel RAID Ready System

The Intel Application Accelerator – Integrated RAID Edition offers the flexibility to upgrade from
a single Serial ATA drive to a two drive RAID 0 configuration when an additional Serial ATA
drive is added to the system. However, several important steps must be followed at the time the
system is first configured in order to take advantage of RAID when upgrading to a second Serial
ATA drive.
1. BIOS must be configured for RAID before installing Windows XP on the single Serial ATA
drive. Refer to section "Configuring BIOS for Intel Integrated RAID for Serial ATA" to
properly configure the BIOS.
2. Install the Intel Integrated RAID driver during Window Setup. Refer to section "Loading the
Intel Application Accelerator 3.0 RAID Driver" to install the driver during Windows Setup.
3. Install the operating system and then the Intel Application Accelerator 3.0 RAID Edition
software. The Intel Application Accelerator 3.0 RAID Edition software is included on the Intel
Express Installer CD that ships with the desktop board.
