Intel Application Accelerator RAID 
Edition Utility 

21.1 Description 

The Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition utility is a Windows*-based application that 
provides management capabilities and detailed status information for storage devices and RAID 
arrays. 

21.2 

Create Volume Manually  

The Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition offers the ability to create a RAID volume 
manually. This option should be used if you are using a third bootable device such as an IDE or 
SCSI hard drive – in addition to using two Serial ATA hard drives. One benefit of using a third 
bootable device and creating a RAID volume manually is that the operating system is not located 
on the RAID volume. Should something happen to the RAID volume, the operating system 
should not be impacted.  

Note: 

The ‘Create Volume Manually’ option is not selectable unless a third bootable device (such as an 
IDE or SCSI hard drive) is installed in the system – in addition to using two Serial ATA hard 
drives.  

To manually create a RAID volume, right-mouse click on ‘RAID Volumes’ and select ‘Create 
Manually’ to create a new RAID volume as illustrated below:
