Pre Operating System introduction

RAID Management through the BIOS Setup environment, included with the Intel VROC PC package, incorporates the functionality of Intel VROC and Intel VROC Pre-Operating System (Pre-OS) management components so that RAID management and control can begin within the BIOS Setup directly.

This enables the creation of RAID Volumes that can be assembled in advance of installation of an Operating System. This guide will also cover the instructions of how to load the specialized F6 Windows drivers within the Operating System during installation to utilize this feature.

See the documentation provided with your system for the exact configuration details for enabling Intel VMD controller and setting the PCH into RAID mode. There will be a generalized series of instructions provided based on one of the Intel Xeon Scalable Platform Customer Reference Board (CRB) as a primer.
