Precision T5810 and PERC H730P - Compatible?
With a PERC H710p I get through the POST and can enter the RAID configuration utility.
With the PERC H730P the system hangs, no POST.
Is there a compatibility issue, or do I have a bad PERC H730P?
Thanks in advance!

The Dell
The workstation has been upgraded from its OEM configuration.
When the H730P wouldn't work I added two Intel SSDs.
Intel Xeon E5-2687W v4 w/64GB

I stumbled on the solution. It has to do with the boot mode setting, i.e., the workstation will not boot with the PERC H730P installed while the boot mode set to UEFI. Reverting to the BIOS mode, and the option to enter the PERC setup appears.
I will continue using the dual SSD's in UEFI boot mode since they are faster and use less power, but I increased the backup frequency lacking redundancy.
Thanks for reading!
