• The system may be configured to support both Rapid Start and Smart Response on the same SSD device (configuration details provided later in the document). • Windows cannot be running in legacy ATA mode (as selected from the storage/SATA BIOS settings menu). The system must be in AHCI, RAID, Smart Response, or Rapid Start mode. • Processor: • System must have an Intel Core processor installed. • Memory: • System should have 8 GB of memory or less. The factory configuration only supports 8 GB or less, and if a partition is created manually to support larger configurations, the expected resume time performance benefits may not be realized. • Software/Drivers: • Systems must have the Intel Rapid Start Technology driver installed. • Other Limitations: • Encryption: • Systems configured with a Dell Data Protection Encryption accelerator card do not support Rapid Start. • Some software encryption vendor guidelines may recommend using Windows hibernate in place of Windows sleep. If sleep is disabled, Rapid Start state will be disabled automatically. • Dell does not support self-encrypting HDD's or SSD's with Rapid Start. • Passwords: • Some Dell systems do not support Rapid Start when HDD (ATA security) or system BIOS passwords are enabled. Intel Smart Connect Technology • Storage (also see "Appendix A" on page 39): • Smart Connect software can only be ordered from the Dell factory on systems ordered with an SSD. • Smart Connect technology may work on some systems, with HDD or hybrid HDD drives, but it is not recommended. 8 Intel Responsiveness Technologies - Dell Setup Guide
