8 Intel Responsiveness Technologies - Dell Setup Guide
• The system may be configured to support both Rapid Start and
Smart Response on the same SSD device (configuration details
provided later in the document).
• Windows cannot be running in legacy ATA mode (as selected from the
storage/SATA BIOS settings menu). The system must be in AHCI,
RAID, Smart Response, or Rapid Start mode.
•Processor:
• System must have an Intel Core processor installed.
•Memory:
• System should have 8 GB of memory or less. The factory
configuration only supports 8 GB or less, and if a partition is created
manually to support larger configurations, the expected resume time
performance benefits may not be realized.
• Software/Drivers:
• Systems must have the Intel Rapid Start Technology driver installed.
• Other Limitations:
• Encryption:
• Systems configured with a Dell Data Protection Encryption accelerator card do
not support Rapid Start.
• Some software encryption vendor guidelines may recommend using Windows
hibernate in place of Windows sleep. If sleep is disabled, Rapid Start state will be
disabled automatically.
• Dell does not support self-encrypting HDD's or SSD's with Rapid Start.
•Passwords:
• Some Dell systems do not support Rapid Start when HDD (ATA security) or
system BIOS passwords are enabled.
Intel Smart Connect Technology
• Storage (also see "Appendix A" on page 39):
• Smart Connect software can only be ordered from the Dell factory on
systems ordered with an SSD.
• Smart Connect technology may work on some systems, with HDD or
hybrid HDD drives, but it is not recommended.
