The IRST software
package enables and enhances high-performance Serial ATA (SATA) and SATA RAID
capabilities for supported operating systems. The IRST software package provides an added protection
against data loss in the event of a hard drive failure.
NOTE:The following conditions must be met before you can install IRST on your computer.
Your computer has a RAID I/O controller hub (ICH). If your computer does not have a RAID ICH, you cannot install IRST unless a third-party RAID controller card is installed.
Your RAID controller is enabled by default.
CAUTION:If a SATA hard drive is already installed, enabling the RAID controller might cause your computer to display a blue screen and an error code followed by a system reboot. To enable RAID, reinstall the operating system.
