- An installation package for the RAID driver and Intel Matrix Storage Manager Software to manage a RAID environment. These files extract to the c:SWSETUP folder under the SPxxxxx subfolder.

- A Deployment folder within the SPxxxxx subdirectory contains the 32-bit and 64-bit drivers for operating system installation and manual driver update. For operating system installations copy the contents of the folder (f6flpy32 for 32-bit and f6flpy64 for 64-bit) to a diskette (floppy) (for Microsoft Windows XP, or Microsoft Windows Vista) or to USB key (for Microsoft Windows Vista). The Intel Matrix Storage Manager Software must be installed to manage the RAID environment after the operating system setup is complete.

- When migrating from a non-RAID environment with existing Operating System image, 4 MB of unallocated space is required at the end of the drive before a RAID volume can be set up using the Intel Matrix Storage Manager Software.
