************************************************************
* 4.  DETERMINING THE SYSTEM MODE
************************************************************

To use this readme effectively, you will need to know what 
mode your system is in. The easiest way to determine the 
mode is to identify how the Serial ATA controller is 
presented within the Device Manager. The following 
procedure will guide you through determining the mode.

1.  Click 'Start'; select 'Settings', then 'Control Panel'
2.  Double-click on the 'System' applet. You may have to 
    select 'Switch to Classic View' first.
3.  Select the 'Hardware' tab.
4.  Select the 'Device Manager' button
5.  Look for an entry named 'SCSI and RAID Controllers'.
    If this entry is present, expand it and look for one of
    the following controllers:
    
    - 'Intel(R) 6300ESB SATA RAID Controller' 
    If this controller is present, the system is an ESB
    system in RAID mode and no further action is required.

    - 'Intel(R) 82801FR SATA RAID Controller' 
    If this controller is present, the system is an ICH6R
    system in RAID mode and no further action is required.

    - 'Intel(R) 82801ER SATA RAID Controller'    
    If this controller is present, the system is an ICH5R
    system in RAID mode and no further action is required.

    - If neither of the controllers above are shown, then
    the system is not running in RAID mode and you should 
    continue with step 6 below.

6.  Look for an entry named 'IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers'.
    If this entry is present, expand it and look for one of
    the following controllers:

    - 'Intel(R) 82801FR SATA AHCI Controller'
    If this controller is present, the system is an ICH6R
    system in AHCI mode and no further action is required.

    - 'Intel(R) 82801FBM SATA AHCI Controller'
    If this controller is present, the system is an ICH6M
    system in AHCI mode and no further action is required.
   
    - If this controller is not present, then your system
    is not in AHCI mode. No other modes are supported by 
    the Intel(R) Application Accelerator software and you
    should continue with step 7 below.

7.  Your system does not appear to be running in RAID or 
    AHCI mode. If you feel that your system is running in 
    RAID or AHCI mode and you do not see any of the 
    controllers listed above, you may choose to contact 
    your system manufacturer or place of purchase for 
    assistance.


************************************************************
* 5.  INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE

************************************************************
* 7.  ADVANCED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
************************************************************

7.1 Available Setup Flags:

    -?             The installer presents a dialog showing
		   all the supported setup flags (seen here)
		   and their usage. 

    -S             Silent install (no user prompts)

    -B             Forces a system reboot after installation

    -P <path>      Supplies target path when using -A flag

    -A             Extracts all files (does not install 
                   driver) to <path> if -P is also 
                   supplied; otherwise, the files are
                   extracted to the default location

    -N             Installs all components except driver

    -NoGUI	   Installs only the driver; the Storage
		   Utility, Event Monitor, and Tray icon
                   applet are not installed.

    -NoMon	   Disables the Event Monitor which
                   consists of the Disk Monitor Service and
                   the System Tray Icon Applet.

    -NoCPL	   Disables the Control Panel Applet

    -O <name>      Allows for the customization of the 
                   program folder name for the Intel(R) 
                   Storage Utility, which will appear in 
                   the Start, Programs menu.
		
    -L<lang code>  Forces a particular language install (See 
		   Section 3 for a table mapping <lang code> 
                   to language).  There cannot be a space 
                   between -L and <lang code>

    -build         Displays build information

    -f2<path\name> Creates a log file in <existing path> 
                   with <name>; this is to be used during 
                   silent installation. There cannot be a 
                   space between -F2 and <path\name>, and 
                   the path must exist prior to installation

Notes:  Flags and their parameters are not case-sensitive.  
        Flags may be supplied in any order, with the 
	exception of the -S and -L, which must be 
	supplied last. When using the -A flag, a target 
        path may be specified via the -P flag, and the -O, 
        -L, -S, and -N flags are ignored. When using the -P 
        or -O flags, a space is required between the flag 
        and the argument; when using -L and -f2, however, 
        there should be no space.  When using the -f2 flag,
	a log file name and path must be specified, and the 
        path must exist prior to the installation.

7.2 Use one of the following command examples to extract the 
    driver files from the different package types:

	c:\iata_cd.exe -a -a -p c:\<path>
	c:\iata_enu.exe -a -a -p c:\<path>
	c:\setup.exe -a -p c:\<path>

    When run, the installation process begins; simply click
    through the dialogs as prompted. This will not install 
    the driver, it will only extract the driver files to 
    <path>. Once the extraction is completed, the 
    driver files can be found in <path>\Driver.

7.3 To install the RAID driver, as outlined in the Microsoft
    document 'Deployment Guide Automating Windows NT Setup', 
    use the supplied TXTSETUP.OEM file included in this 
    package and insert the lines shown in step 7.3a and 7.3b
    below into the UNATTEND.TXT file. This method is 
    available for Microsoft* Windows* XP, Windows 2000, and
    Windows Server 2003. Before you begin, iaAhci.inf, 
    iaAhci.cat, iaStor.inf, iaStor.cat, iaStor.sys, and 
    Txtsetup.oem files will need to be extracted from the 
    setup files. To extract these files, use the method 
    described in section 7.2 above.

7.3a Systems Configured for RAID Mode:

Note: This same procedure can be used for systems using the 
      'Intel(R) 82801ER SATA RAID Controller' and the
      'Intel(R) 6300ESB SATA RAID Controller'. Simply
      replace the text within the quotation marks.
