Configure Raid on SM 6014V-T2

[cvegas]

Hello,
I'm an old guy trying to learn a new trade. Bought a used SM server and having issues with raid.

It has two 250GB hot swappable drives. If both drives are plugged in I get message that says they will not be available to OS and they are in an incomplete status. If I pull one I can load a Centos distribution on the plugged in drive.

Tried loading windows 2003 server but I only have the original release and Supermicro only has drivers for SP1 so it fails.

Went to SuperMicro's Fourm but looks like I am the only one that has been there in quite some time.

Downloaded manual and tried the CtrlA to get into the raid config but that does not work.

Any direction would be appreciated.

- Once you've exited the BIOS Utility, the system will re-boot.
