********************************************************************************
* 1.  OVERVIEW
********************************************************************************

The Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology is designed to provide functionality for
the Intel(R) SATA RAID Controller. This tool will report settings of the platfom
to evaluate its compliance with the Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology product.


********************************************************************************
* 2.  SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
********************************************************************************

1. The system must contain an Intel(R) Processor 
   and one of the following Intel products:

        - Intel(R) C600 Series Chipset

2.  The system must support one of the following operating
    systems:

        - UEFI 2.1d


********************************************************************************
* 3.  Executing the Test
********************************************************************************

1.  Enable the SCU EFI Driver from system BIOS.

2.  Make sure there are hard drives attached to at least two SCU ports
    controlled by the Intel(R) I/O Controller Hub.

3.  There is no need to create any RAID volumes in order to execute this test.

4.  From an EFI shell, enter the following

    RCmpScu.efi

    You may have the utility redirect the results to a text file by using the
    following command:

    RCmpScu > test1.txt

********************************************************************************
* 4.  Explanation of Tests Run by RCmpScu
********************************************************************************

RCmpScu initially displays several informational sections before running tests:

    PCI Configuration Space

        The PCI Configuration Space registers of the SCU PCI device are shown.

    RAID Option ROM Version Information

        The compiled features in the Intel(R) SCU RAID EFI Driver are shown.

    BIOS SCU OEM Parameters

        The BIOS OEM parameter table is displayed and checked for
        validity. This test displays the table exactly as provided by the BIOS
        OEM Parameter EFI protocol.

        Refer to RSTe EFI/OROM Tables document - OEM Parameter Structure Format
        for a description of the table format.

    RAID EFI Driver SCU OEM Parameters

        The OEM parameter table from the EFI driver is displayed and
        checked for validity. This test displays the table after modification by
        the preboot software to set the Preboot Source field.

        Refer to RSTe EFI/OROM Tables document - OEM Parameter Table Structure
        Format and OEM Parameter Structure Format for a description of the table
        format.

After the informational sections, the following tests are executed:

1.  Intel(R) RSTe SCU Controller Presence Tests

    1.1  Controller Present
         Checks for the presence of a supported SCU controller PCI device.
         Severity: HIGH

    1.2  CPU Brand String
         Displays the system CPU Brand ID from the CPUID instruction for
         diagnostic purposes.
         Severity: Status Only

2.  System-Provided Protocols and Tables

    2.1  ACPI Support Protocol
         Reports the presence of the required ACPI Support Protocol, which must
         be provided by the system firmware.
         Severity: HIGH

    2.2  BIOS OEM Parameter Table
         Reports the presence of the system firmware-provided OEM parameter
         table, which is obtained from the PCH_SCU_PARAMETERS_PROTOCOL.
         Severity: HIGH

3.  Driver-Provided Protocols and Tables

    3.1  EFI Driver Protocols
         Reports the existence of all protocols expected to be exposed by the
         SCU EFI Driver.  If any protocols are missing, there is a driver or
         system error preventing them from being installed.
         Severity: HIGH

    3.2  Version Table (ACPI Table and Variable)
         Reports the existence of both the ACPI table and EFI variable
         containing the RSTe driver version table, which is used to communicate
         EFI driver supported features to the operating system driver.  If
         either table is missing or the contents of the two do not match, this
         test will fail.
         Severity: HIGH

    3.3  Driver OEM Parameter Table
         Reports the existence of the OEM parameter table exposed by the SCU
         EFI driver after being read from the BIOS OEM Parameter Table, as
         reported by test 2.2.  This table is the mechanism by which the
         operating system driver retrieves the OEM parameters for the system.
         Severity: HIGH
