Dell H700 Raid moved to new server

The other day I posted a question about being hired to restore a failed Dell R410 Server, unfortunately the company was not keeping up with backups and had not had full backup in month. 

The system was out of support So only have the Dell Forum to lean on, but they did recommend that I make sure the disk and raid controller are functioning correctly which I was able to confirm both were okay. So at the forums advice I purchased a duplicate R410, the new 410 had a perc6 integrated controller which runs out of bios I believe. So I removed the Raid Controller and replaced it with the H700 from the failed server, I then moved the drives to the new server and turned it on, so far so good. The raid finds the config and virtual drives, but then gives this message. No bootable device found, Boot mode set to bios.

So obviously I need to change something in BIOS but did not want to make any changes that might compromise those drives and their data without first asking. 

I have no idea how the previous BIOS was configured but, and again I assume, that I just need to change a setting so it boots from the raid controller?

Can you boot to Boot Menu (F11) and see whether virtual disk from H700 is available to boot and if yes can you try to boot to that?
