PowerEdge T300 raid support
Hello, I recently purchased a PowerEdge T300 from ebay which I was hoping to use as a NAS box, it came with a raid card pre installed, a Dell™ Serial-Attached SCSI 6/iR card , however I am having some issues setting it up.
I understand that I need to press CTRL+R at startup to access the window where I can configure the 4 HHDs that I have connected but I am never asked to press CTRL+R I have tried to continually press it through the boot process but nothing happens and the computer attempts to boot into the OS as usual.
I have also checked in the BIOS and cannot see anything related to RAID.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Tank you.

Hi, thanks of the reply, I can confirm that at the DELL post screen pressing ctrl+r does nothing,
I have just been experimenting again before posting this and found the option I am looking for
CTRL-C to run SAS Configuration Utility
However I see I can only create a mirror of 2 disks with hotswaps or stripe of up to 10 disks, are the no options for other configurations with this card?
Thanks.
