10.5.0.1007 Alpha
1007
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. Beginning with RST 10.5, the RAID Option ROM version will not be tied to the RST driver and user interface version. The RAID OROM version will only be incremented when there is a change to the OROM. The version of the RAID OROM for Alpha is 10.5.0.744 while the driver and user interface version is 10.5.0.1007. Also, the OROM binary file is now called SataOrom.bin and the size has increased; Image size is ~119KB and the Runtime size is ~41.5KB. Contact your RST representative with any questions.
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 become ready during power on from the zero-power state.
4. Microsoft* .NET Framework 3.0 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 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.
