Smart Connect Configuration

How to set up or re-configure a system for use with Smart Connect?

BIOS Settings:

Enable/Disable option: The Smart Connect enable/disable switch can

be found in the Smart Connect BIOS menu, located under the "Power

Management" menu or "Advanced" menu. The default state for this

option in BIOS is "disabled", unless the system was ordered with

Smart Connect enabled.

Because this setting hides the device from Windows, disabling Smart Connect will
also prevent the Smart Connect Configuration application and driver installation
in Windows. If the Smart Connect Configuration application (described below) is
installed and the feature is disabled in BIOS, it will report a warning message
alerting the user that the feature is not functioning.

If the Smart Connect feature is enabled in BIOS, and the Smart Connect
Configuration application and driver are not installed, an unknown device may
appear in the Windows device manager under the "System Devices" category with
the Hardware ID: INT33A0

Automatic Disable: Smart Connect will automatically be disabled in

BIOS setup if:

A non-SSD storage device (HDD or hybrid drive) is installed.

System or HDD passwords are enabled (some systems).

"Block Sleep" is enabled in BIOS setup (some systems).

• Intel Smart Connect Configuration Application and Driver package:

• The Smart Connect Configuration application and driver installation

package is a self-extracting executable file. If the system supports

Smart Connect, the file will be available for download from
