Notes:  

1. Known Issue is defined as a potential RST issue that has been replicated internally by the Rapid Storage Technology team but has not been root caused to be an RST defect.

2. Microsoft Windows XP, Vista & Server 2003 (both 32 & 64 bit versions of each) are not supported by RST 11.5. 

3. RST 11.5 is the first RST release that includes UEFI driver support.  Note that the UEFI driver will not work with any previous releases of the Intel® Matrix Storage Manager/Rapid Storage Technology product.  This means if you plan to use the RST 11.5 UEFI driver then you must use the RST 11.5 storage driver as well.  A UEFI Application, RCfgSata.efi, is also provided that supports command-line RAID configuration actions via the UEFI shell.  The UEFI application requires the matching RST UEFI driver version to be loaded on the system. Also the UEFI driver only works with supported 64-bit Windows OSes.

4. The RST Legacy OROM and UEFI Driver version for this release are 11.5.0.1582, the driver and user interface version is 11.5.0.1207. 

5. The Microsoft Windows 8* version used during RST validation of this release is 8441. 

6. When an ODD is in the Zero Power state, some ODDs may disappear when a hardware re-scan is initiated via the Windows Device Manager.  A second hardware re-scan conducted before the Zero Power Idle Timeout value is reached (default is 60s) will return the drive to an OS visible state. This behavior is believed to be related to the length of time an ODD requires to become ready during power on from the zero-power state.

 

7. Microsoft* .NET Framework 3.0, 3.5, or 4.5 is required to be installed on the system in order for the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology User Interface to install.  Note that not all Microsoft* Operating Systems have .NET 3.0, 3.5, or 4.5 installed by default.  Refer to the Microsoft* website for details.

 

*Contact your Intel RST Representative with any questions on the content of these Release Notes
