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. Click 'Start'; select 'Settings', then 'Control Panel' 2. Double-click on the 'System' applet. You may have to select 'Switch to Classic View' first. 3. Select the 'Hardware' tab. 4. Select the 'Device Manager' button 5. Look for an entry named 'SCSI and RAID Controllers'. If this entry is present, expand it and look for one of the following controllers: - 'Intel(R) 6300ESB SATA RAID Controller' If this controller is present, the system is an ESB system in RAID mode and no further action is required. - 'Intel(R) 82801FR SATA RAID Controller' If this controller is present, the system is an ICH6R system in RAID mode and no further action is required. - 'Intel(R) 82801ER SATA RAID Controller' If this controller is present, the system is an ICH5R system in RAID mode and no further action is required. - If neither of the controllers above are shown, then the system is not running in RAID mode and you should continue with step 6 below. 6. 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) 82801FR SATA AHCI Controller' If this controller is present, the system is an ICH6R system in AHCI mode and no further action is required. - 'Intel(R) 82801FBM SATA AHCI Controller' If this controller is present, the system is an ICH6M system in AHCI mode and no further action is required. - If this controller is not present, then your system is not in AHCI mode. No other modes are supported by the Intel(R) Application Accelerator 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. ************************************************************ * 5. INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE ************************************************************ 5.1 General Installation Notes 1.
