Hello, I am building a new machine which I'will be using as home server. I am using HP EliteDesk 705 G2 SFF as base and I've attached LSI SAS 9200 8i RAID controller card to mobo and connected 2 HDDs as well.
The problem is that when I boot the PC, I don't get RAID controller configuration screen before BIOS loads as I've seen on some tutorials and I can not find a way to configure my RAID to proceed with OS installation after this.
I've already tried to touch some BIOS settings with no success, tried changing PCIe ports (the controller's leds are turning on by the way) and I am out of ideas.
I've read HP's manual for adding external RAID controller, but there is only info about how to set the drives and cable management basically.
I am afraid it might be something BIOS version or controller firmware related, but I consider this blind guessing and I prefer to hear another opinion from someone with experience in order to proceed my project.
I'll be thankful for any advice and will provide any additional info if needed!
