Scheduling Notes:
 Beforeyouattempttodefineaschedule,firstruntheIntelSSDOptimizerTool
inmanualmode.Oncethemanualrunissuccessful,thensetanautomated
scheduledoperation.
 Thefirsttimeyouscheduleasession,theLastRuncolumndisplays Never
sincetherewerenopreviouslyscheduledruns.Afterascheduledsession
finishes,theLastRuncolumnwilldisplaythedat
eofthelatestsuccessfully
completedrunforthatdrive.TheScheduleIntelSSDOptimizerscreenonly
displaystheLastRunstatusforscheduledsessions,notmanuallyinitiated
runs.
 Ensurethatsessionsarescheduledtorunwhenthesy
stemison.Thetooldoes
notwakeuporturnonthesystemtorunanIntelSSDOptimizersession.
 AvoidrunningtheIntelSSDOptimizerwhenabackupisinsession.
 IfyoursystemusesMicrosoftWindows7andthestandardMicrosoftAHCI
driver(thedefaultsetupfornormalconfiguration
swithoutRAID),theIntel
SSDOptimizerwillwork;however,youdonotneedtousetheIntelSSD
OptimizerbecauseMicrosoftWindows7implementstheATADataSet
ManagementCommand(Trim)natively.Youcanusetheotherfunctions
offeredintheIntelSSDToolbox.
 Ifyoursyste
musesMicrosoftWindows7andtheIntelMatrixStorage
Managerversion8.x(whichcanbeusedinplaceoftheMicrosoftAHCI
driver),thentheIntelSSDOptimizertoolisrequiredtoenabletheATAData
