2. An Intel Core series processor
3. RAID enabled for the Intel SATA controllers in BIOS Setup
4. A conventional SATA disk and an SSD
5. Windows 7 with SP1

If you have installed the operating system before configuring the Smart Response Technology, all
original data on the hard disk will be lost once you enable RAID mode. It is recommended that you
back up the hard disk before enabling the Smart Response Technology.
B. Configuring Intel Smart Response Technology
Step 1:
While in the operating system, use the "Xpress Install" function of the motherboard driver disk to install
all motherboard drivers, including the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver. Restart your computer when
completed.
Make sure the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver version is 11.0 or above.
Step 2:
Find the IRST icon
in the notification area and double-click it to open the Intel Rapid Storage Technology
utility.
Step 3:
On the main screen, click the Accelerate button and then click Enable acceleration.
(Note 1) The SSD works as a cache of the hard disk. The maximum cache memory size is 64 GB. If you use
an SSD larger than 64 GB, the space beyond 64 GB can still be used for storing your data.
(Note 2) The operating system must be installed to the SATA disk.
