(
however
backup up any nec-
essary files and data before deleting an Optane setup
, as doing so will result in the
loss of all data on the volumes).
You need to setup Intel® Optane™ before installing your Windows 10 operating
system, and you will need to prepare the following in order to do so.
==========================================================
•The Microsoft Windows 10 OS DVD.
• An attached external DVD drive.
• An Intel® Optane™ SSD installed in your system.
•The Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual disc.
==========================================================
1. Start-up your notebook computer and press <F2> to enter the BIOS.
2. Go to the Boot menu, select UEFI Setting and press <Enter> (see page 5 - 19).
3. Set UEFI Boot to “Enabled”.
4. Press <Esc> to exit the menu and go to the Main menu.
5. Select OffBoard NVMe Controller Configuration and press enter to check that
an Intel® Optane™ SSD is present.
6. Press <Esc> to exit the menu and go to the Advanced menu.
Creating a Windows
Partition for Optane
When installing Win-
dows, make sure that
you leave a minimum of
5MB of unallocated
space for the Intel® Op-
tane™ software to cre-
ate needed metadata.
After you have created a
Windows partition the
Windows Setup screen
will display the partitions
and sizes, including the
unallocated space. If the
unallocated space is
less than 5MB, then de-
lete the partitions and
recreate them until the
criteria is met.
Note this is 5MB only,
not GB.
