6. Right-click on 'Intel(R) 82801GR SATA AHCI Controller' This same procedure can also be used for systems using the 'Intel(R) 82801HR/HH/HO SATA AHCI Controller', the 'Intel(R) 631xESB/632xESB SATA AHCI Controller', the 'Intel(R) 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller', the 'Intel(R) 82801GH SATA AHCI Controller' and the 'Intel(R) 82801FR SATA AHCI Controller'.
7. Select 'Properties'
8. Select the 'Driver' tab
9. Select the 'Driver Details' button
10. If the 'iaStor.sys' file is displayed, the installation was successful.
6.2 Verifying Windows Automated Installer* or 'Package for the Web' Installations:
1. Click 'Start'.
2. Find the 'Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager' program group.
3. Select the 'Intel(R) Matrix Storage Console' entry
4. The 'Intel(R) Matrix Storage Console' application should launch.
5. If this application does not launch, the Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager driver was not installed properly and setup needs to be run.

* 7. ADVANCED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
************************************************************
7.1 Available Setup Flags:
-? The installer presents a dialog showing all the supported setup flags (shown here) and their usage.
-A Extracts all files (does not install driver) to <path> if -P is also supplied; otherwise, the files are extracted to the default location.
-B Forces a system reboot after installation
-O<name> Allows for the customization of the program folder name for the Intel(R) Matrix Storage Console, which will appear in the Start, 'All Programs' menu.
-P<path> Supplies target path when using -A flag
-N Installs all components except driver
-NoGUI Installs only the driver; the Intel(R) Matrix Storage Console, Event Monitor, and Tray icon applet are not installed.
-NoMon Disables the Event Monitor which consists of the Disk Monitor Service and the System Tray Icon Applet.
-S Silent install (no user prompts)
-BUILD Displays build information
-G<number> Forces a particular language install (See section 3 for a table mapping <number> to language). There cannot be a space between -G and <number>
-f2<path\name> Creates a log file in <existing path> with <name>; this is to be used during silent installation. There cannot be a space between -f2 and <path\name>, and the path must exist prior to installation.
Notes: Flags and their parameters are not case-sensitive. Flags may be supplied in any order, with the exception of the -S and -G, which must be supplied last. When using the -A flag, a target path may be specified via the -P flag, and the -O, -G, -S, and -N flags are ignored. When using the -P, -O, -G and -f2 flags, there should be no space between the flag and the argument. When using the -f2 flag, a log file name and path must be specified, and the path must exist prior to the installation.
7.2 Use one of the following command examples to extract the
driver files from the different package types:
c:\iata_cd.exe -pc:\<path>
c:\iata_enu.exe -pc:\<path>
c:\setup.exe -pc:\<path>
When run, the installation process begins; simply click through the dialogs as prompted. This will not install the driver, it will only extract the driver files to <path>. After the extraction is completed, the driver files can be found in <path>\Driver.
7.3 To install the RAID driver on Windows* XP, as outlined in the Microsoft document 'Deployment Guide Automating Windows NT Setup', use the supplied TXTSETUP.OEM file included in this package and insert the lines shown in step 7.3a and 7.3b below into the UNATTEND.TXT file. This method is available for Microsoft* Windows* XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003. Before you begin, iaAhci.inf, iaAhci.cat, iaStor.inf, iaStor.cat, iaStor.sys, and Txtsetup.oem files will need to be extracted from the setup files. To extract these files, use the method described in section 7.2 above.
7.3a Systems Configured for RAID Mode:
Note: The same procedure can be used for systems using
the 'Intel(R) 82801HEM SATA RAID Controller',
'Intel(R) 82801HR/HH/HO SATA RAID Controller',
