HOW TO USE: 
1. Download the SoftPaq .EXE file to a directory on your hard drive.

2. Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions. The 
self-extracting file stores the drivers in the C:\SWSETUP\IAA_4.5.1.6809 
directory.

To update the driver and application on a working system, execute the 
''iata_enu.exe'' from the C:\SWSETUP\IAA_4.5.1.6809\Application directory.


TO INSTALL OPERATING SYSTEM ON A SATA RAID ARRAY:
Install the driver using the F6 Installation function when installing Microsoft 
Windows or build a pre-installation image with the driver.

The drivers can be extracted from the self-extracting F6_Install.exe file. This 
will locate the files in the C:\SWSETUP\IAA_4.5.1.6809\F6_Install.

The F6_Install.exe extracts the following files:
- iaAHCI.cat (8 KB)
- iaAHCI.inf (3 KB)
- iaStor.cat (8 KB)
- iaStor.inf (4 KB)
- iaStor.sys (467 KB)
- TXTSETUP.OEM (3 KB)

These files can then be copied to a diskette for installation when F6 is 
pressed during the operating system installation.

FOR A DATA SATA RAID ARRAY IMAGE:
1. Install the driver and application after you have the operating system on a 
different hard drive.

2. Install two SATA hard drives to the onboard SATA ports and enable the SATA 
RAID option ROM in the systems BIOS setup prior to booting to Windows.

3. Execute the following command from C:\SWSETUP\IAA_4.5.1.6809:
iata_enu.exe

The preceding command installs the IAA 4.5.1.6809 driver and the IAA 
application that configures and controls the SATA RAID arrays.

NOTE: If the option ROM is not enabled, the following error message is 
displayed:
''This hardware is incompatible''
