Intel Matrix Storage Manager Quick Guide for Acer Selected Veriton PC V1.1 1. Introduction This document will assist customers in evaluating, configuring and enabling RAID functionality on Acer RAID Ready platforms using the Intel® Matrix Storage Manager software. This document also describes RAID volume management such as creating, deleting, and modifying volumes, common usage models, and any special notes necessary to enable customers to develop their RAID-compatible products. Selected high-end Acer desktop systems are configured as Intel RAID Ready systems. A "RAID Ready" system can be upgraded to RAID0, RAID1, RAID5 or RAID10 using the RAID migration feature built into Intel Matrix Storage Manager 7.5. This technology enables you to install additional SATA hard drives, and then migrate a RAID Ready configuration to a RAID0, RAID1, RAID5 or RAID10 configuration. Before you start to build your RAID system, please do check Section 3 "Warnings and Reminders" for more detailed information. You can also check the on-line user's manual for the Intel Matrix Storage manager in Windows for detailed RAID function execution. 4/21
