Your Windows® operating system now detects the devices in the RAID configuration with the upgraded
software.
Defragmentation
The IO Accelerator does not need to be defragmented. However, some Windows® versions automatically
run defragmentation as a scheduled task. If necessary, turn off automatic defragmentation.
Silent install option
Uninstalling the previous version
If you have a version of the HP IO Accelerator previously installed, you must uninstall it first. You must
manually reboot the computer after installing the new version with the silent install option. This step must be
performed prior to using any HP IO Accelerator utilities or functionality.
If you are installing remotely or with scripts, you can use the silent install option (/quiet) when you run the
installation program in the command-line interface.
In the command-line interface, navigate to the folder that contains the .exe installer file, and then run the
following command:
<installname>.exe /quiet
Where <installname>.exe is the name of the installer file.
This option installs the HP IO Accelerator using the default settings and eliminates the need to click Next or
select settings during installation.
Installing components
The default command-line installation installs the HP IO Accelerator (including the command-line utilities) and
the firmware file. You can add additional components using the following command:
<installname>.exe /quiet ADDLOCAL=SNMP,SDK,SMIS
Remove any component (and leading or trailing comma) that you do not want to install.
Performing a silent uninstall
You can silently uninstall the HP IO Accelerator with this command:
<installname>.exe /uninstall /quiet
