Owners Manual

● IRST software
● Hard drive partition with at least 5 MB of free space
Features of RAID-enabled systems:
● Intel Rapid Recover Technology - This technology provides full data redundancy by copying data from a designated
source drive (master disk) to a designated destination drive (recovery disk). Data updates of recovery volumes can be
continuous or on request.
● Intel Rapid RAID : - This technology allows creation of RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 volumes on desktop and mobile
platforms. Data is distributed across two or more disks to provide data redundancy or to enhance data storage performance.
● Intel Matrix RAID Technology - This technology allows two independent RAID volumes to be created on a single array. The
first volume occupies part of the array, leaving space for the second volume. The array may consist of two to six SATA disks
depending on the volume types.
● Native command queuing - A feature that allows SATA disks to accept more than one command at a time. With multiple
disks that support NCQ, storage performance is increased on random workloads by allowing the disk to internally optimize
the order of commands.
● Disk capacity greater than 2 TB (Option ROM support) - This feature supports hard disks and solid-state drives with a
capacity greater than 2 TB that are reported as pass-through devices (available) or used in a RAID configuration. Besides
booting from a system disk greater than 2 TB is allowed, if the version of the option ROM in your system supports this
feature.
● Password-protected disks - This feature provides high-level security and protection for the data on your disks with a
password, denying access from any unauthorized user.
Advantages of DisplayPort over USB Type-C
● Full DisplayPort audio/video (A/V) performance (up to 4K at 60Hz)
● Reversible plug orientation and cable direction
● Backwards compatibility to VGA, DVI with adaptors
● SuperSpeed USB (USB 3.1) data
● Supports HDMI 2.0a and is backwards compatible with previous versions
HDMI 2.0
This topic explains the HDMI 2.0 and its features along with the advantages.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI
provides an interface between any compatible digital audio/video source, such as a DVD player, or A/V receiver and a
compatible digital audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital TV (DTV). The intended applications for HDMI TVs, and DVD
players. The primary advantage is cable reduction and content protection provisions. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or
high-definition video, plus multichannel digital audio on a single cable.
HDMI 2.0 Features
● HDMI Ethernet Channel - Adds high-speed networking to an HDMI link, allowing users to take full advantage of their IP-
enabled devices without a separate Ethernet cable
● Audio Return Channel - Allows an HDMI-connected TV with a built-in tuner to send audio data "upstream" to a surround
audio system, eliminating the need for a separate audio cable
● 3D - Defines input/output protocols for major 3D video formats, paving the way for true 3D gaming and 3D home theater
applications
● Content Type - Real-time signaling of content types between display and source devices, enabling a TV to optimize picture
settings based on content type
● Additional Color Spaces - Adds support for additional color models used in digital photography and computer graphics
● 4K Support - Enables video resolutions far beyond 1080p, supporting next-generation displays that will rival the Digital
Cinema systems used in many commercial movie theaters
● HDMI Micro Connector - A new, smaller connector for phones and other portable devices, supporting video resolutions up
to 1080p
