RAID Migration Instructions
The Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition offers the flexibility to
upgrade from a single Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive to a two drive RAID 0 or
RAID 1 configuration when an additional SATA hard drive is added to the
system. This process will create a new RAID volume from an existing disk.
However, several important steps must be followed at the time the system is
first configured in order to take advantage of RAID when upgrading to a
second SATA hard drive:
1. BIOS must be configured for RAID before installing Windows* XP
on the single SATA hard drive. Refer to Page B-5 BIOS Configura-
tion for properly setting of the BIOS.
2. Install the Intel Application Accelerator RAID Driver during Win-
dows Setup. Refer to Page B-13 Installing Software for instruc-
tions on installing the driver during Windows Setup.
3. Install the Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition after the
operating system is installed.

the source disk is preserved.
After the Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition has been suc-
cessfully installed and the system has rebooted, click on the Intel Application
Accelerator shortcut link and the following window will appear:
