User Guide - Windows 7
If you add or upgrade a hard drive and intend to set a RAID volume, you must temporarily disable 
SRT, set the RAID volume, and then enable SRT. To temporarily disable SRT:
1. Select Start > All Programs > Intel > Intel Rapid Storage Technology.
2. Click the Acceleration link, and then click the Disable Acceleration link.
3. Wait for the Acceleration Mode to complete.
4. Click the Reset to Available link.
IMPORTANT: You must temporarily disable SRT when changing RAID modes. Make the change 
and then re-enable SRT. Failure to temporarily disable this feature will prevent you from creating or 
changing RAID volumes.
NOTE: HP does not support SRT with self-encrypting drives (SEDs).
