Detailed Description

Purpose

The Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) Driver (15.9.8.1050) supports the configuration and enabling of multiple features including:

  • System Acceleration with Intel® Optane™ memory
  • Configuration and maintenance of RAID 0/1/5/10
  • Intel® RST

Note: Contact your system manufacturer prior to installing these applications or requesting technical support from Intel. They may provide software that is specifically configured for your system.

Which file to choose?

  • SetupOptaneMemory.exe or SetupOptaneMemory.zip
    • Specifically designed and optimized to support system acceleration with Intel® Optane™ memory modules
  • SetupRST.exe or SetupRST.zip
    • Supports system acceleration with Intel® Optane™ memory in addition to advanced features such as management of RAID 0/1/5/10 volumes and Intel® System Recovery (Intel® SRT)
  • f6flpy-x64.zip (64-bit Operating System) / f6flpy-x86.zip (32-bit Operating System):
    • Standalone Intel® RST Drivers with Intel® Optane™ memory support
    • May be required during operating system (OS) installation to detect PCIe* NVMe* drive, refer to system manufacturer documentation or Intel Customer Support

Note

  • Only one of the Setup (SetupRST.exe or SetupOptaneMemory.exe) applications can be installed on a system at a time. Choose the application that makes the most sense for your intended usage and configuration.
  • The RST driver SetupRST.exe supports RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10. The driver should be installed after the operating system has been installed. F6 and RAID BIOS configurations need to be performed prior to installation of this driver for proper operation. This driver supports NVMe devices.
