Dell EMC PowerEdge RAID Controller S130 User’s Guide

Entering the BIOS Configuration Utility

1. Turn on the system.
2. While the system starts up, press <Ctrl><R> to boot to the BIOS configuration utility.
   CAUTION: If SATA Controller is not set to RAID Mode, data might be destroyed. Ensure that you backup all data before changing modes.

   NOTE: If the BIOS Configuration Utility <Ctrl><R> does not appear and your system uses a PERC S130, press <F2> to access the Dell system BIOS. In the SATA Settings field, ensure that SATA Controller is set to RAID Mode. If the settings are correct and the BIOS Configuration Utility <Ctrl><R> does not appear contact Dell support at dell.com/support.

   NOTE: The PERC S130 adapter supports Dell-supported SATA-based tape devices. With the S130 controller, system can boot to a tape device using an internal Dell RD1000 tape device. Once configured to boot to a tape device, press <Esc> or click Back in any browser screen until you return to the System Setup Main Menu and exit normally to continue to boot to a tape device. The RD1000 option goes to the end of the boot order listing, if <Ctrl><Alt><Del> is selected and you would not be able to boot to RD1000.
