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. The OROM collateral contained in the PCH Desktop and PCH Mobile directories are the same.

3. 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 power on. This issue is currently under investigation. Updates will appear in future revisions of this document as status changes. 

4. Microsoft* .NET Framework 3.0 or newer 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 or newer installed by default.  Refer to the Microsoft* website for details.

5. A Vista OS Installation using a Matrix RAID Array on a system with a 9.5 or newer OROM requires the user to F6 a 9.5 or newer driver.

6. Possible issue where RST is slow to start on Windows XP or Vista with .NET 3.0

Issue description: Under certain network conditions, on systems with .NET 3.0, the RST application and notification icon (a.k.a. tray icon) may take about a minute to start.  

Resolution: Contact Microsoft* to receive the hot fix described by KB article 936707 or upgrade to .NET 3.5.

7. Possible Issue regarding File writes on Windows XP with Service Pack 2

Issue description: System hangs, ERROR_NO_SYSTEM_RESOURCES or ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_QUOTA observed when writing large numbers of files on Windows XP with Service Pack 2.

Resolution: Contact Microsoft* to receive the hot fix described by KB article 888413.
