Conguring a RAID Set

3-2 Installing the SATA RAID/AHCI Driver and Operating System

With the correct BIOS settings, you are ready to install the operating system.

A. Installing Windows

As some operating systems already include Intel

SATA RAID/AHCI driver, you do not need to install separate

RAID/AHCI driver during the Windows installation process. After the operating system is installed, we recommend

that you install all required drivers from the motherboard driver disk using "Xpress Install" to ensure system

performance and compatibility. If the operating system to be installed requires that you provide additional SATA

RAID/AHCI driver during the OS installation process, please refer to the steps below:

Step 1:

Copy the IRST-x64 or IRST-x86 folder (depending on your OS version) under the Boot folder in the driver disk

to your USB thumb drive.

Step 2:

Boot from the Windows setup disk and perform standard OS installation steps. When the screen requesting you

to load the driver appears, select Browse.

Step 3:

Insert the USB thumb drive and then browse to the folder (IRST-x64 or IRST-x86) that you previously copied.

Step 4:

When a screen as shown in Figure 1 appears, select Intel Chipset SATA RAID Controller and click Next to

load the driver and continue the OS installation.
