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 In-
tel Rapid Storage Technology application if you have set the SATA Mode to Intel
RST Premium With Intel Optane System Acceleration (for Intel Optane ) , or to
AHCI (see “IRST Driver Installation” on page 6 - 22 ).
If you wish to change your SATA mode to/from AHCI/Intel RST (Optane) mode
note that doing so may prevent your operating system from booting, and may require

essary data on your hard disk(s) as you will need wipe the disks clean in order to pre-
