Note: In order to run Windows without limitations or decreased performance, your computer requires a mini-
mum 1GB of system memory (RAM).
RAID & AHCI Setup
Note that setting up a RAID, or AHCI mode, needs to be done prior to installing the Windows OS (see “Setting
Up SATA RAID or AHCI Mode” on page 7 - 2 ).
