UEFI BIOS Method (HII Interface) – Setting up single drives in JBOD mode

Use this method to create a basic single drive using the Avago MegaRAID SAS/SATA FLEX RAID Adapter

or Avago 9364-8i adapter with the system BIOS set to UEFI mode.

***Note: in order for the OS to recognize drive(s) attached to the Avago controller, the drive(s) must be

configured as a RAID array or JBOD mode. Single drive RAID 0 arrays are acceptable.

1. Install the desired drives and Avago controller into the system (see "P500/P510-P700/P710-

P900/P910 RAID Hardware Configuration" document for installation instructions).

2. After ensuring system BIOS is in UEFI mode, boot the system and enter the BIOS setup menu by

pressing the F1 key during system boot.

3. Using the arrow keys, select the "Advanced" tab

4. Using the arrow keys, highlight the selection for "Avago MegaRAID Configuration Utility", and

press Enter.
