5.3 Pre-Installation Using the F6 Method.

Note: The Steps 1 and 2 can be skipped if you use the F6 Floppy
      disk utility provided by Intel. These methods 
      are applicable to systems configured for RAID or 
      AHCI mode.

1.  Extract all driver files from the installation package.
    See section 7.2 for instructions on extracting the 
    files.

2.  Create a floppy* containing the following files in the root 
    directory:
    iaAhci.inf, iaAhci.cat,
    iaStor.inf, iaStor.cat,
    iaStor.sys, and 
    TxtSetup.oem. 

    * Note: For Windows Vista you can use a floppy, CD/DVD or USB.

3.  For Windows XP or later operating systems:

    - At the beginning of the operating system installation,
     press F6 to install a third party SCSI or RAID driver.

    - When prompted, select 'S' to Specify Additional Device.

    - Continue to step 5.

4.  For Windows Vista:

    - During the operating system installation, after selecting the 
     location to install Vista, click Load Driver to 
install a third 
     party SCSI or RAID driver.

    - Continue to step 5.

5.  When prompted, insert the media (floppy, CD/DVD
 or USB) you 
    created in step 2 and press Enter.

6.  At this point you should be presented with a selection
    for one of the controllers listed in the Overview (Section 1) 
    of this document depending on your hardware version and 
    configuration.

7.  Highlight the selection that is appropriate for the 
    hardware in your system and press Enter.

8.  Press Enter again to continue. Leave the floppy disk in 
    the system until the next reboot as the software will 
    need to be copied from the floppy disk again when setup
    is copying files.

* 7.  ADVANCED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
************************************************************

7.1 Available Setup Flags:

    -?             The installer presents a dialog showing
                   all the supported setup flags (shown 
                   here) and their usage. 
    -A             Extracts all files (does not install 
                   driver) to <path> if -P is also 
                   supplied; otherwise, the files are
                   extracted to the default location.
    -B             Forces a system reboot after installation.
    -O<name>       Allows for the customization of the 
                   program folder name for the Intel(R) 
                   Matrix Storage Console, which will appear 
                   in the Start, 'All Programs' menu.
    -P<path>       Supplies target path when using -A flag.
    -N             Installs all components except driver.
    -NoGUI         Installs only the driver; the Intel(R) 
                   Matrix Storage Console, Event Monitor, 
                   and Tray icon applet are not installed.
    -NoMon         Disables the Event Monitor which
                   consists of the Disk Monitor Service and
                   the System Tray icon applet.
    -S             Silent install (no user prompts).
    -BUILD         Displays build information.		
    -G<number>     Forces a particular language install 
                   (See section 3 for a table mapping 
                   <number> to language). There cannot be 
                   a space between -G and <number>.
    -f2<path\name> Creates a log file in <existing path> 
                   with <name>; this is to be used during 
                   silent installation. There cannot be 
                   a space between -f2 and <path\name>, 
                   and the path must exist prior to 
                   installation.

Notes:  Flags and their parameters are not case-sensitive.
        Flags may be supplied in any order, with the 
        exception of the -S and -G, which must be 
        supplied last. When using the -A flag, a target 
        path may be specified via the -P flag, and the -O, 
        -G, -S, and -N flags are ignored. When using the 
        -P, -O, -G and -f2 flags there should be no space 
        between the flag and the argument. When using the -f2 
        flag, a log file name and path must be specified, and 
        the path must exist prior to the installation.

7.2 Use one of the following command examples to extract the 
    driver files from the different package types:

      c:\iata_cd.exe -a -a -pc:\<path>
      c:\iata_enu.exe -a -a -pc:\<path>
      c:\setup.exe -a -pc:\<path>

    When the command is run, the installation process begins; 
    simply click through the dialogs as prompted. This will not 
    install the driver, it will only extract the driver files to 
    <path>. After the extraction is completed, the driver 
    files can be found in <path>\Driver.


7.3 To install the RAID driver on Windows* XP, as outlined in the Microsoft
    document 'Deployment Guide Automating Windows NT Setup', 
    use the supplied TXTSETUP.OEM file included in this 
    package and insert the lines shown in step 7.3a and 
    7.3b below into the UNATTEND.TXT file. This method is 
    available for Microsoft* Windows* XP and
    Windows Server 2003. Before you begin, iaAhci.inf, 
    iaAhci.cat, iaStor.inf, iaStor.cat, iaStor.sys, and 
    Txtsetup.oem files will need to be extracted from the 
    setup files. To extract these files, use the method 
    described in section 7.2 above.

************************************************************
* 10.  ENTERING THE OPTION ROM USER INTERFACE
************************************************************

Use the following steps to enter the Intel(R) Matrix Storage 
Manager option ROM user interface:

1. Boot the System.
2. Press CTRL-I when the 
   'Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager option ROM vX.y.w.zzzz' 
   banner screen appears.

************************************************************
* 11.  OPTION ROM RAID VOLUME MANAGEMENT
************************************************************
The Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager option ROM provides 
pre-OS RAID volume management which enables the following:

1. Create RAID Volume
   Use this option to create one or two RAID volumes.

2. Delete RAID Volume
   Use this option to delete a RAID volume.

3. Reset Disks to Non-RAID 
   Use this option to reset a RAID configuration to a 
   non-RAID configuration.

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


************************************************************
* 12.  OPTIONS TO RESET THE RAID VOLUME IN OPTION ROM
************************************************************
Intel(R) Matrix Storage option ROM user interface provides 
two methods for resetting the RAID volume:
1. Delete RAID Volume
2. Reset Disks to Non-RAID
   Differences between the options are noted below. Users are 
   advised to select the option based on the situation.

12.1 Delete RAID Volume

     When a RAID volume is deleted, RAID metadata on the 
     participating disks is erased and sector zero is cleared,
     that is 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.

12.2 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.


************************************************************
* 13.  VERIFYING THE VERSION OF THE OPTION ROM SOFTWARE
************************************************************

1. Use the following steps to identify the version number of
   the Intel(R) Matrix Storage option ROM:

   - Enter the Intel(R) Matrix Storage option ROM user 
     interface using the steps detailed in section 10.
   - The software version will be displayed in the user 
     interface banner:
     'Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager option ROM vX.y.w.zzzz'
