Intel Responsiveness Technologies - Dell Setup Guide

• The system may be configured to support both Rapid Start and

Smart Response on the same SSD device (configuration details

provided later in the document).

• Windows cannot be running in legacy ATA mode (as selected from the

storage/SATA BIOS settings menu). The system must be in AHCI,

RAID, Smart Response, or Rapid Start mode.

• Processor:

• System must have an Intel Core processor installed.

• Memory:

• System should have 8 GB of memory or less. The factory

configuration only supports 8 GB or less, and if a partition is created

manually to support larger configurations, the expected resume time

performance benefits may not be realized.

• Software/Drivers:

• Systems must have the Intel Rapid Start Technology driver installed.

• Other Limitations:

• Encryption:

•

Systems configured with a Dell Data Protection Encryption accelerator card do
not support Rapid Start.

•

Some software encryption vendor guidelines may recommend using Windows
hibernate in place of Windows sleep. If sleep is disabled, Rapid Start state will be
disabled automatically.

•

Dell does not support self-encrypting HDD's or SSD's with Rapid Start.

• Passwords:

•

Some Dell systems do not support Rapid Start when HDD (ATA security) or
system BIOS passwords are enabled.

Intel Smart Connect Technology

• Storage (also see "Appendix A" on page 39):

• Smart Connect software can only be ordered from the Dell factory on

systems ordered with an SSD.

• Smart Connect technology may work on some systems, with HDD or

hybrid HDD drives, but it is not recommended.
