How install Intel Matrix Storage?

Hello I have a server with a motherboard ASUS P5BV-C/4L.

I have configured a RAID and is workin'g fine.

The operatin system is windows 2008R2.

I want to install the Intel Matrix Storage, I've downloaded from Intel Web Page the IATA88CD when i try to install i get the error " The system don't match the minimum requirements for install this software"

Please, Can you help me? what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Your first and biggest mistake is to use the built-in RAID functions of that fake-RAID controller. Fake-RAID controllers are cheap and totally unreliable. Never use them!

Windows 2008 r2 has very good native RAID functions built-in, that is much, much more reliable.

Setup your system from scratch, but this time make sure you have disabled BIOS RAID and are instead just using the disks as single disks. Then setup your OS and then in disk management use the RAID functions you have there.
