Intel® Optane™ Setup
Intel® Optane™ is a combination of a compatible mem-
ory device and Intel Rapid Storage Technology soft-
ware. This combination is designed to speed up your
system performance by caching boot data, executables,
frequently accessed data and system page files to a non
volatile, low latency Intel® Optane™ SSD.
Contact your distributor or supplier to see if your system
supports this technology.
If you are reinstalling a system that has previously been
setup in Intel RST Premium mode, make sure you have
disabled the Intel Optane Memory (see Disabling Intel®
Optane™ on page 6).
