Legacy BIOS Method – Setting up single drives in JBOD 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.

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 Legacy mode.

1. Install the desired drives and Avago controller into the system (see "P500-P700-P900 RAID

Hardware Configuration" document for installation instructions).

2. Power on the system and wait for the Avago option ROM to load. Press CTRL + R when

prompted to enter the Avago MegaRAID configuration utility.
