T3600 Intel Integrated RAID Controller

Question

Hello! I have a T3600 that doesn't have a H310 PERC RAID card and I want to use the Intel Integrated RAID Controller. Unfortunately, no matter what I try, I cannot access the RAID controller's configuration using (CTRL + i). I have been pulling my hair out for hours trying every bios setting, different bios editions, different drives plugged into the board etc.

Right now, I have A18 installed, OROM messages are enabled, SATA/RAID is enabled, and I can see the RAID controller in the Rapid Storage Technology software in Windows.

I am at a total loss and any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi @dannydorazio ,

RAID controller's configuration exist during POST only if at least 1 drive connected to HDD0 to HDD3 SATA ports on motherboard. Check if your hard drives actually connected to SATA0 or SATA1 ports.

Besides, you may install Intel RSTe (make sure to use the "e" version which stand for enterprise) and create RAID on Windows interface.

Would Linux work on this machine? If so, would those 4 SATA ports work as normal ports so that I can setup my own RAID via Linux?
