The IRST software package enables and enhances high-performance Serial ATA
(SATA) and SATA RAID capabilities for supported operating systems. The IRST
software package provides an added protection against data loss in the event of a
hard drive failure.
NOTE: The following conditions must be met before you can install IRST on
your computer.
• Your computer has a RAID I/O controller hub (ICH). If your computer does not
have a RAID ICH you cannot install IRST unless a third-party RAID controller card
is installed.
• Your RAID controller is enabled by default.
CAUTION: If a SATA hard drive is already installed, disabling the RAID
controller (switch to AHCI mode) might cause your computer to display a
blue screen and an error code followed by a system reboot.
