What is the ?
The Windows driver is a component that works with Intel's Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) features. These features are typically found in Intel's server-class Xeon processors (E7 and E5 series) and high-end Core i7 processors. RAS features are essential for monitoring and reporting system health, including detecting hardware errors and ensuring system reliability in mission-critical environments like servers and workstations.
Specifically, this driver:
- Monitors the health of system components like memory, processor, and interconnects.
- Reports global errors related to these components, helping system administrators identify and respond to issues before they affect the overall system.
- Integrates with system management software
The driver is particularly important for maintaining uptime in server environments where errors can lead to downtime or data corruption. It provides essential diagnostic information for IT admins to resolve potential issues proactively.
Follow these steps to install the RAS Control Status and Global Errors driver:
1. Download the Driver:
- Visit the Intel Download Center or your (e.g., Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc.).
- Search for the driver or the specific model number of your processor.
- Select the appropriate version for your operating system (e.g., Windows Server 2019, Windows 10, etc.) and download the driver.
2. Prepare for Installation:
- Ensure you have administrator privileges on the system.
- Close any open applications and save your work, as you may need to reboot your system during the installation.
3. Install the Driver:
- Run the Installer:
- Locate the downloaded driver file (typically an
.exe
file).
- Double-click the installer to start the installation process.
- Follow the Installation Wizard:
- Accept the license terms and follow the prompts to complete the installation.
- Select the default options unless you need to customize the installation path.
- The installer will automatically install the necessary components.
4. Reboot Your System:
- After installation, you may be prompted to restart your computer. This ensures the driver is properly integrated with the operating system.
5. Verify Installation:
- Once the system restarts, you can verify the driver installation:
- Open Device Manager (you can search for it in the Start Menu).
- Under System Devices, look for entries related to or processors.
- If there are no warning icons (yellow exclamation points), the driver has been successfully installed.
- Additionally, you can use Intel's System Utilities or management software to check the health and status of your system components, ensuring that RAS reporting features are functioning.
6. Alternative Installation (Command Line):
If you prefer to install the driver without using the GUI (for example, in server or batch installations), you can use the command prompt to install the driver. Open a Command Prompt with administrator privileges and run:
<path_to_installer>\<driver_file_name>.exe /quiet
This will install the driver silently without requiring user interaction.
Conclusion
The driver is a crucial software component for monitoring hardware health and error reporting in systems running Intel Xeon E7/E5 v3 or Core i7 processors. Installing this driver enables reliable system diagnostics and error tracking
