Optane
™
memory
2. The Optane
™
memory must have at least 16 GB capacity, and it must have equal or smaller capacity than
the hard drive/SSD to be accelerated.
3. The Optane
™
memory cannot be used to accelerate an existing RAID array; the accelerated hard drive/SSD
cannot be included in a RAID array.
4. The hard drive/SSD to be accelerated must be a SATA hard drive or M.2 SATA SSD.
5. The hard drive/SSD to be accelerated can be a system drive or data drive. The system drive must be GPT
formatted and have Windows 10 64-bit (or later version) installed on it. The data drive must also be GPT
formatted.
6. The motherboard driver disc
7. The SATA controller must set in Intel RST Premium With Intel Optane System Acceleration mode.
A-2. Installation Guidelines
1. Go to Settings\IO Ports\SATAAndRST Conguration and make sure RST Control PCIe Storage
Devices is set to Manual. Then depending on which M.2 connector you install the Optane
™
memory in, set
the corresponding PCIe Storage Dev on Port XX item to RST Controlled.
2. After re-entering the operating system, launch the Intel
®
Rapid Storage Technology application from the
Start menu. If you install more than one Optane
™
memory, please select which one you are going to use.
Then select which drive to be accelerated. Click Enable Intel
®
Optane
™
Memory. All data on the Optane
™
memory will be erased. Make sure you back up the data before continuing. Follow the on-screen instructions
to proceed. When completed, restart the system.

the Intel
®
Optane
™
Memory Pinning function. (The Optane
™
memory used must have at least 32 GB capacity.)
• An Optane
™
memory cannot be used to accelerate an M.2 PCIe SSD.
• If more than one Optane
™
memory is installed, you can select only one of them to accelerate your
SATA-based boot drive. The other(s) can only be used as data drive(s).
• Do not abruptly remove the Optane
™
memory. Doing so will cause the operating system to stop
functioning correctly.
• If you want to change/remove the Optane
™
memory, you must disable it using the Intel
®
