Setup UEFI boot with Windows 10 on Dell Precision T3600 / T5600 / 7600 + PERC H310

This is how I got my T5600 to work from a SSD SATA connected to a PERC 310H card and boot as UEFI. It can also be a SAS drive. In this example I was only using a single drive and have not attempted a RAID setup. 

I may have skipped some parts where you have to reboot. If I refer to the BIOS settings then you would have to reboot first. 

1. Setup hard drive as a NON-RAID drive. When booting it will appear as BIOS handled and NON-RAID.

2. Download the Windows 10 installer onto USB using Microsoft Media Tool.

3. Download the DELL T5600 Payload for T5600 and BIOS files (if needed). Install latest DELL BIOS if you have an existing older OS. 

4. Unzip the DELL driver payload onto the USB drive for Windows 10 and leave inside a folder called T5600.

5. Using a rear USB slot that is NOT USB 3. Go into F2 and load the USB stick under UEFI, it may have a strange name if the BIOS is old (such as INT13). Saqve changes. Reboot. Boot from the USB stick. 

6. Make sure the drive you are working on does not contain data you want to keep. Ideally you would disconnect any drive you dont want to accidentally alter. 

When given the option to select a hard drive, if necessary, delete any previous partitions so the drive is without any partitions. Then click the * NEW button. 

7. After clicking NEW it MUST generate 4 partitions, 3 system partitions + 1 OS partition (made by Windows installer). If it only has 2 partitions it will never work as a UEFI boot volume

8. Install windows as usual. Select "I dont have a product key" and later on you can use your Windows 7 COA. It my take a few reboots.

9. When you are done with the Windows installer, remove USB stick and when booting press F2 and put the booting sequence for UEFI booting. It should find the SSD drive now and may offer you the option of Windows Boot Manager.

10. When finished. You can use the DELL Auto Detect to install the drivers. HOWEVER, the BIOS file with AUTO is NOT THE SAME as the BIOS you can select yourself. It is missing 2 files. Install the newest BIOS manually (it is a better build).

11. You should now have a system booting off SSD in UEFI mode. (It seems faster with the PERC card due to the bus being able to handle SATA-3).

12. Flash the PERC card to the version approved for use in T5600. It may be a firmware downgrade because sometimes a PERC card can come with server firmware being higher than T5600 firmware.

13. I havent tested this with an array setup but it should be the same. I didnt have time to test it.

14. When the PERC card is installed, you can no longer use the SATA ports onboard (SAS associated). SATA-0 and SATA-1 are only for optical media and cannot boot a drive.

15: When all of the drivers are correctly installed your front USB ports will work and so will USB 3.0
