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. On the Start menu: 1a. For Windows* Vista or later operating systems, select Control Panel. 2. Open the 'System' applet (you may first have to select 'Switch to Classic View'). 3. Select the 'Hardware' tab. 4. Select the 'Device Manager' button. 5. From the Device Manager, look for an entry named 'Storage Controllers' for Windows Vista and 'SCSI and RAID Controllers' for Windows XP and later operating systems.If this entry is present, expand it and look for one of the controllers listed in the Overview Section1. If the controller identified is a RAID controller, then the system is in RAID mode. If none of the controllers above are shown, then the system is not running in RAID mode and you should continue with step 6 below. 6. From the Device Manager, look for an entry named 'IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers'. If this entry is present, expand it and look for one of the following controllers If this entry is present, expand it and look for one of the controllers listed in the Overview Section1. If an AHCI controller is identified, then the system is in AHCI mode. If none of the controllers above are shown, then your system is not in AHCI mode. No other modes are supported by the Intel(R) Matrix Storage Ma
