3-3 Installing an Intel® Optane™ Memory A. System Requirements 1. Intel® 16-lane CPU (4-core) 2. Intel® Optane™ memory 3. The Optane™ memory must have at least 16 GB capacity, and it must have equal or smaller capacity than the hard drive/SSD to be accelerated. 4. The Optane™ memory cannot be used to accelerate an existing RAID array; the accelerated hard drive/SSD cannot be included in a RAID array. 5. The hard drive/SSD to be accelerated must be a SATA hard drive or M.2 SATA SSD and must have Windows 10 64-bit (or later version) installed on it. (Must be formatted for GPT partition.) 6. The motherboard driver disk B. Installation Guidelines B-1: Installation in AHCI mode If the SATA controller has been configured in AHCI mode, please install the Optane™ memory in the M2P_32G or M2Q_32G connector and follow the steps below: Step 1: After entering the operating system, insert the motherboard driver disk into your optical drive. On the Xpress Install screen, select Intel(R) Optane(TM) Memory System Acceleration (Note) to install. Follow the on-screen instructions to continue. The system will auto-restart. Step 2: After re-entering the operating system, the dialog box as shown above will appear. Click Yes to continue the installation and then restart the system. Step 3: Launch the Intel(R) Optane Memory application from the Start menu. A message which says Intel® Optane™ Memory is disabled will appear on the main screen. Click Enable to activate the Intel® Optane™ Memory and restart the system again. Step 4: Launch the Intel(R) Optane Memory application from the Start menu and make sure the Intel® Optane™ Memory has been enabled. (The SATA controller mode is changed to Intel RST Premium With Intel Optane System Acceleration from AHCI mode. DO NOT change your SATA controller mode back to AHCI. Doing so will prevent Intel® Optane™ memory from functioning properly. (Note) If the system already has Intel® Rapid Storage Technology utility installed, you have to remove it first before installing the Intel(R) Optane(TM) Memory System Acceleration application.

Installing an Intel
®
Optane
™
Memory
A. System Requirements
1. Intel
®
16-lane CPU (4-core)
2. Intel
®
Optane
™
memory
3. The Optane
™
memory must have at least 16 GB capacity, and it must have equal or smaller capacity than
the hard drive/SSD to be accelerated.
4. The Optane
™
memory cannot be used to accelerate an existing RAID array; the accelerated hard drive/SSD

5. The hard drive/SSD to be accelerated must be a SATA hard drive or M.2 SATA SSD and must have Windows
10 64-bit (or later version) installed on it. (Must be formatted for GPT partition.)
6. The motherboard driver disk
B. Installation Guidelines
B-1: Installation in AHCI mode
If the SATA controller has been configured in AHCI mode, please install the Optane
™
memory in the M2P_32G
or M2Q_32G connector and follow the steps below:
(Note)
If the system already has Intel
®
Rapid Storage Technology utility installed, you have to remove it first
before installing the Intel(R) Optane(TM) Memory System Acceleration application.
Step 1:
After entering the operating system, insert the motherboard
driver disk into your optical drive. On the Xpress Install
screen, select
Intel(R) Optane(TM) Memory System
Acceleration
(Note)
to install. Follow the on-screen instructions
to continue. The system will auto-restart.
Step 2:
After re-entering the operating system, the dialog box
as shown above will appear. Click
Yes
to continue the
installation and then restart the system.
Step 3:
Launch the Intel(R) Optane Memory application from
the Start menu. A message which says Intel
®
Optane
™
Memory is disabled will appear on the main screen. Click
Enable
to activate the Intel
®
Optane
™
Memory and restart
the system again.
Step 4:
Launch the Intel(R) Optane Memory application from the
Start menu and make sure the Intel
®
Optane
™
Memory has
been enabled. (The SATA controller mode is changed to Intel
RST Premium With Intel Optane System Acceleration from
AHCI mode. DO NOT change your SATA controller mode
back to AHCI. Doing so will prevent Intel
®
Optane
™
memory
from functioning properly.
