Intel RAID Technology functionality requires the following items:
Intel 6300ESB
Intel RAID Technology Option ROM must be on the platform
Intel® Application Accelerator RAID Edition drivers, most recent revision.
Two SATA hard disk drives.

3.6.5.2 Intel® RAID Technology Option ROM
The Intel RAID Technology for SATA Option ROM provides a pre-OS user interface for the Intel
RAID Technology implementation and provides the ability for a Intel RAID Technology volume
to be used as a boot disk as well as to detect any faults in the Intel RAID Technology volume(s)
attached to the Intel RAID controller.
3.6.6 Video Controller
Both server boards provide an ATI* Rage XL PCI graphics accelerator, along with 8 MB of video
SDRAM and support circuitry for an embedded SVGA video subsystem. The ATI Rage XL chip
contains a SVGA video controller, clock generator, 2D and 3D engine, and RAMDAC in a 272-
pin PBGA. One 2Mx32 SDRAM chip provides 8 MB of video memory.
The SVGA subsystem supports a variety of modes, up to 1600 x 1200 resolution in 8/16/24/32
bpp modes under 2D, and up to 1024 x 768 resolution in 8/16/24/32 bpp modes under 3D. It
also supports both CRT and LCD monitors up to 100 Hz vertical refresh rate.
Video is accessed using a standard 15-pin VGA connector found on the back edge of the server
board. On-board video can be disabled using the BIOS Setup Utility which is accessed during
POST or when a add-in video card is installed in any of the PCI slots.
