Hey everyone, 

I have a new R440 at work. My manager selected the wrong storage configuration when building this server. This server came with 8 2.5" drive bays with software raid (and 8x 960gb SSD) and the Perc S140 raid controller with no dedicated hardware raid controller. The performance with this software raid controller is not optimal so we bought a perc h740p low profile controller with the riser and cables (not from dell.com).

The low profile bracket we got would not fit completely because it is a little bit longer despite stating that it is for an R440, and it's also a PCIe x8 riser. I connect the controller directly with the riser piece only. However, the controller bios option for the h740p card does not appear in the lifecycle controller. 
Is this because of the wrong riser card? If so there will be a lot of problems

I'm open to suggestions, what should i do?
