I assume you mean this button?

Hint #1 I found
Intel requires that for use of Smart Response Technology (SRT) within RST your OS must be on either a HDD or HDD RAID (via the SATA connections I believe) and a unused SSD be available (for SSD caching). Otherwise no SRT and the Accelerate button won't appear.Don't know why Intel should care where the OS and apps are located but they've made it a requirement for use of SRT.
Hint #2 I found
You MUST be sure that your SSD is connected to the Z77 or Z68 SATA ports, or it won't be recognized and you won't get the Acceleration button/link in the RST software. [...] My SSD happened to be plugged into the extra ones, not the Z77 native ones, so I could see and access it in Windows explorer, but not in the RST software, not in the RAID config that blips on boot up, and not in the BIOS either when I accessed SATA.
