Rapid Start Technology allows you to quickly resume your computer from sleeping

partitioning process will result to data loss.
• Adjusting the DRAM to a high frequency will result to unstable system performance.
1. Go to Start, right-click Computer > Manage > Disk Management.
2. Select the SSD that you want to create the partition.
• To enable Intel
®
Smart Response Technology, you need at least one SSD ( 20GB) and
a HDD, and only one SSD can be assigned for caching.
• If you want to restore the OS, go to BIOS Option ROM > Acceleration Options and
remove the Disks/Volume Acceleration to disable Intel
®
Smart Response Technology.
Refer to Chapter 4, section Installing Serial ATA hard disk for the entry of BIOS Option

• The maximum caching size on the SSD is 64GB. If it exceeds, the storage capacity left
out for caching can still be identied by the system for normal storage.
3. Select Disable Acceleration to disable
this function, and select Change Mode to
switch acceleration mode to Enhanced/
