Intel® Optane™ Notes
Intel® Optane™ is a combination of a compatible memory device and Intel Rapid Technology software. This
combination is designed to speed up your system performance. However note the following;
•The SATA Mode should be set BEFORE installing an operating system, and after you have backed up all
necessary files and data (see sidebar). See “Setting Up SATA Mode (Optane™ or AHCI)” on page 6 - 2 for
details. Make sure you install the Intel Rapid Storage Technology application if you have set the SATA
Mode to Intel RST Premium, or to AHCI (see “IRST Driver Installation” on page 6 - 27).
• It is very important to make sure that when you create a hard disk drive partition when installing Windows
for an Intel® Optane™ system, that you leave at least a minimum of 5MB of unallocated space (note this is
5MB only, not GB).
• After setting the SATA mode to Intel® Optane™ and installing the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology
application, DO NOT uninstall the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology application.
• If you are reinstalling a system that has previously been setup in Intel RST Premium mode, make sure
you have cleared the Intel Optane Memory (see “Clearing Intel® Optane™” on page 6 - 7). If you
haven’t cleared the Optane setup you may not find a suitable hard disk drive partition on which to reinstall
an operating system.
• If you need to reinstall an operating system, uninstall the IRST driver/application or swap the hard disk
drive (or Intel® Optane™ SSD) make sure you have cleared the Intel Optane Memory (see “Clearing
Intel® Optane™” on page 6 - 7).
