5 If your system supports Acer GraviSense, disable it before enabling
RAID.
6 Before enabling RAID on your system, back up important data and
applications using Acer eRecovery Management or another
appropriate backup tool.
7 Enabling RAID may change how your hard disk drives are ordered,
and Acer eRecovery Management may not function properly if
your system does not have the needed drive ordering.
8 You cannot use Acer eRecovery Management to revert your system
to a non-RAID configuration after enabling RAID.
9 The HDD password feature will not function once RAID has been
enabled.
10 Using the Intel Matrix Storage Manager option ROM (accessed by
pressing Ctrl-I when starting your computer) is not recommended.
Use the Intel Matrix Storage Console in Windows for most RAID
functions.
11 Please contact an Acer Customer Service Center if you have further
questions about enabling RAID on your Acer computer.
