Note: If you experience any difficulties making these changes to the system BIOS, please contact the motherboard manufacturer or your place of purchase for assistance. ************************************************************ * 10. ENTERING THE OPTION ROM USER INTERFACE ************************************************************ Use the following steps to enter the Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology Manager - option ROM user interface: 1. Boot the System. 2. Press CTRL-I when the 'Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology - option ROM vX.y.w.zzzz' banner screen appears. ************************************************************ * 11. OPTION ROM RAID VOLUME MANAGEMENT ************************************************************ The Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology - option ROM provides pre-OS RAID volume management which enables the following: 1. Create RAID Volume Use this option to create one or two RAID volumes. 2. Delete RAID Volume Use this option to delete a RAID volume. 3. Reset Disks to Non-RAID Use this option to reset a RAID configuration to a non-RAID configuration. 4. Recovery Volume Options If a recovery volume is present, use this option to a. Disable Continuous Update b. Enable Only Recovery Disk c. Enable Only Master Disk ************************************************************ * 12. OPTIONS TO RESET THE RAID VOLUME IN OPTION ROM ************************************************************ Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology - option ROM user interface provides two methods for resetting the RAID volume: 1. Delete RAID Volume 2. Reset Disks to Non-RAID Differences between the options are noted below. Users are advised to select the option based on the situation. 12.1 Delete RAID Volume When a RAID volume is deleted, RAID metadata on the participating disks is erased and sector zero is cleared, that is partition table and file system related data are reset. Windows installer will not see any invalid data at the time of OS installation. This is the recommended method for reconfiguring the RAID volume and installing OS on it. 12.2 Reset Disks to Non-RAID This option is used to reset the metadata on the disk which participates in more than one RAID volume in single operation. It should be used if 'Delete RAID Volume' option fails for any reason and to reset a disk that has been marked as Spare and offline member. When a disk in the RAID volume is reset to non-RAID, RAID metadata is erased. However, partition table and file system related data still exists, which may be invalid. This might cause Windows installer to misinterpret the information available on the 'reset disk' at the time of installation. This could result in unexpected behavior in OS installation. ************************************************************ * 13. VERIFYING THE VERSION OF THE OPTION ROM SOFTWARE ************************************************************ 1. Use the following steps to identify the version number of the Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology - option ROM: - Enter the Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology - option ROM user interface using the steps detailed in section 10. - The software version will be displayed in the user interface banner: 'Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology - option ROM X.y.w.zzzz' X.y.w.zzzz is the version number of the option ROM installed on your system.
