Press <F10>. On the popup confirmation dialog box, select Yes and press 
<Enter> to save the settings and exit BIOS configuration screen. Then, start the 
server. 

 

 

The configuration screen is unavailable in the Legacy mode for Broadcom 
94xx series or later controller cards. However, users can complete the 
configuration in the UEFI mode, and then switch to the Legacy mode. This 
section guides you on how to configure RAID in the UEFI mode. 

 

The  operating procedures described in this section are  also applicable  to 
Inspur SAS3408iMR, SAS3508MR, and 9440/9460/9560 series. 

 

The main difference between Inspur 3408iMR and 3508MR is that the former 
has no cache and does not support the super-capacitor data protection 
suite. 

 

3.2

 

Log in to SAS3508MR Management Screen 

Procedures: 

1.

 

Restart the server to enter BIOS configuration screen. When the blue progress 
bar appears on the LOGO screen as shown below, press <Delete> as prompted 
to enter BIOS main screen. 

2.

 

Switch to Advanced tab, select the SAS3508 controller from the existing RAID 
controller card list, and press <Enter>.
