Intel® Optane™ Notes
Intel® Optane™ is a combination of a compatible memory device and Intel Rapid Technology software. This
combination is designed to speed up your system performance. However note the following;
•The SATA Mode should be set BEFORE installing an operating system, and after you have backed up all
necessary files and data (see sidebar). See “SATA Mode Setup (Optane™, RAID or AHCI)” on page 6 - 2
for details. Make sure you install the Intel Rapid Storage Technology application/Intel® Optane™
Memory and Storage Management if you have set the SATA Mode to Intel RST Premium, or to AHCI
(see “IRST Driver Installation” on page 6 - 39).
• It is very important to make sure that when you create a hard disk drive partition when installing Windows
for an Intel® Optane™ system, that you leave at least a minimum of 5MB of unallocated space (note this is
5MB only, not GB).
• After setting the SATA mode to Intel® Optane™ and installing the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology//
Intel® Optane™ Memory and Storage Management application, DO NOT uninstall the application.
• 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 - 64). If you
haven’t cleared the Optane setup you may not find a suitable hard disk drive partition on which to reinstall
an operating system.
• If you need to reinstall an operating system, uninstall the IRST driver/application or swap the hard disk
drive (or Intel® Optane™ SSD) make sure you have disabled the Intel Optane Memory (see “Disabling
Intel® Optane™” on page 6 - 64).
