4.8 Using the Intel® Application Accelerator RAID Edition Utility
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.
The Intel® Application Accelerator RAID Edition is most likely supplied on a Driver CD that
was included with your motherboard or system.
If needed, the Intel® Application Accelerator RAID Edition can also be downloaded from the
following Intel® website:

4.8.1 Installing the Intel® Application Accelerator RAID Edition
After the Intel® Application Accelerator RAID Edition has been downloaded from the Intel®
website to a known location on your hard drive, you need to run the Setup.EXE program.
The installation program should launch after you double-click on the file name.
Click on the “Next” button at the Welcome screen.
Read the license agreement and click on the “Yes” button to accept the license terms and
continue.
Click on the “Next” button to install the driver in the default folder location.
Click on the “Next” button to create the default Program Folder. The driver files will now be
installed.
When finished installing, select the “Yes” button for the reboot option and click on the “Finish"
button to restart your computer. The Intel® Application Accelerator RAID Edition should now
be installed.
NOTE
The instructions above assume that the Intel® RAID Option ROM and
BIOS have been configured correctly and the RAID driver has been
installed using the F6 installation method (See Section 4.7 for
additional information).
4.8.2 RAID Migration Instructions
The Intel® Application Accelerator RAID Edition offers the flexibility to upgrade from a single
Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive to a two drive RAID 0 or RAID 1 configuration when an
additional SATA hard drive is added to the system. This process will create a new RAID
volume from an existing disk.
A ‘Create from Existing Disk’ operation will delete all existing data from
the added disk and the data cannot be recovered. It’s critical to backup
all-important data on the added disk before proceeding. However,
during the migration process, the data on the source disk is preserved.
