4.2.7 Intel ICH5R RAID Driver (for Windows XP and
Windows 2000 only)
After the SATA drives have been configured with a RAID volume
in the Intel ICH5R BIOS Setting Utility, you must install the
ICH5R RAID driver.
To install the RAID driver:
1. Star t Windows Setup by booting from the installation CD.
2. Press <F6> when prompted at the beginning of Windows
setup.
3. Press <S> to select “Specify Additional Device”.
4. At this point you should be prompted to insert a floppy disk
containing the Intel RAID driver. Insert the “Intel ICH5R RAID
Driver” diskette.
5. Select “Intel
®
82801ER SATA RAID Controller” from the list
then press <Enter>.
6. The next screen should confirm that you have selected the
Intel(r) RAID controller. Press <Enter> again to continue.
7. Finish the Windows installation. Leave the floppy disk in the
floppy drive until the system reboots itself. Windows setup
will need to copy the files from the floppy disk again after the
RAID volume is formatted, then Windows setup starts copying
files.
8. Install the “Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition” soft-
ware. (Refer to the next page). This will add the Intel Applica-
tion Accelerator RAID Edition user interface utility that can be
used to manage the RAID configuration.
