UNINSTALLATION OF DRIVER COMPONENTS !!!!!!!!!!! WARNING !!!!!!!!!! WARNING !!!!!!! WARNING !!!!!!!!! WARNING !!!!!!!!! The removal of this software from the system could render any SATA or NVMe disks/volumes inaccessible by the operating system. Back-up any important data before completing these steps. 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. ************************************************************************** * 11. ENTERING THE Pre-OS USER INTERFACE ************************************************************************** UEFI Driver/BIOS ***************************** Use the following steps to enter the Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology UEFI HII- compliant user interface (Note: the exact steps and location of the UI is OEM platform dependent. You must consult your platform manufacturer for these exact steps and location of the Intel(R) RST UEFI HII UI): 1. Boot the system. 2. Press key required to enter the platform's system BIOS (e.g F2) 3. Locate the ‘Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology’ item wherever it is located in your platform’s system BIOS menu and enter it to launch the ‘Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology’ text-based UEFI UI. At the top of the main page of the UI the version is indicated in the following format: 'Intel(R) RST ww.x.y.zzzz SATA Driver’ ************************************************************************** * 12. Pre-OS STORAGE SUB-SYSTEM MANAGEMENT ************************************************************************** UEFI Driver/BIOS HII ***************************** The Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology - UEFI UI provides pre-OS Storage sub-system management which enables the following capabilities: I- RAID Volume Management 1. Create RAID Volume Use this option to create one or two RAID volumes. 2. Delete Click on a RAID volume then use this option to delete the RAID volume. The pre-OS methods are the only end-user methods to delete a RAID volume that has the OS boot files on it. 3. Reset to Non-RAID Click on a RAID volume then click on a member disk then use this option to reset a RAID member disk to a non-RAID pass-through disk. 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 II – Intel(R) Optane(TM) Memory Technology Management 1. ‘Deconcatenate’ Intel(R) Optane(TM) Memory Volume Use this option to disable Intel(R) Optane(TM) memory volume and return the system to a non-Accelerated Pass-through configuration. a. [X] Checkbox to preserve user data upon deconcatenation; Checked is the default b. Decision box to confirm deconcatenation action; Yes or No (No is default) ************************************************************************** * 13. OPTIONS TO RESET THE RAID VOLUME in the INTEL(R) RST Pre-OS UI's ************************************************************************** WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!WARNING!!!!!!!!!WARNING!!!!!!!!!!WARNING!!!!!!!! Before completing any of the following steps, it is recommended you Backup any wanted data that is located on the RAID volumes being deleted or disks being reset to non-RAID Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology - pre-OS UI provides two methods for resetting the RAID volume: > Delete RAID Volume > Reset Disks to Non-RAID Differences between the options are noted below. Users are advised to select the option based on the situation. 13.1 Delete RAID Volume When a RAID volume is deleted, RAID metadata on the participating disks is erased and sector zero is cleared; as a result, the 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. 13.2 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. ************************************************************************** * DISCLAIMER ************************************************************************** INFORMATION IN THIS DOCUMENT IS PROVIDED IN CONNECTION WITH INTEL PRODUCTS.

In the event that any provision of this Agreement will be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law or be so held by applicable court decision, such unenforceability or invalidity will not render this Agreement unenforceable or invalid as a whole, and, in such event, such provision will be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable or invalid provision within the limits of applicable law or applicable court decisions. Waiver. The failure of either party to require performance by the other party of any provision hereof will not affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter; nor will the waiver by either party of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself.

This Agreement is in the English language only, which language will be controlling in all respects, and all versions of this Agreement in any other language will be for accommodation only and will not be binding on you or Intel. All communications and notices made or given pursuant to this Agreement, and all documentation and support to be provided, unless otherwise noted, will be in the English language.
