4.2.1 Instructions on Creating F6 Floppy Diskette

To create an F6 floppy diskette that contains the files that are needed when installing the
driver via an F6 installation method, complete the following steps:
1. Download the Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition (or use the CD shipped you're your
motherboard which contains the Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition).
2. The following four files need to be copied from the compressed .CAB file (which is
contained inside the Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition .EXE package):
IASTOR.INF, IASTOR.SYS, IASTOR.CAT, and TXTSETUP.OEM.
3. To extract these files, run 'C:\SETUP.EXE -A -P C:\<path>' (as described in the 'Advanced
Installation Instructions' section of the README.TXT.)
4. Once these files have been extracted, copied the IASTOR.INF, IASTOR.SYS,
IASTOR.CAT, and TXTSETUP.OEM files to a floppy diskette. Note: These files should be in
the root directory of the floppy.
Any spaces in the pathname or filename require quotes around the
pathname or filename. The switches do not require quotes. For example:
"C:\My Documents\setup.exe" –A –P.

ENTER.
