Cisco UCS C240 M5 Service Manual

d) For the secondary sSATA controller, select M.2 and then choose one of the options from the dialog:
• LSI SW RAID—Enable the embedded sSATA RAID controller for control of internal SATA M.2 drives.
This menu option does not appear when the server is set to boot in Legacy mode (UEFI mode is
required). To change the boot mode, use the BIOS setting for Boot Options > Boot Mode.
Note
This menu option does not appear when the server has no M.2 mini storage module, or when no SATA
M.2 drive is installed in the mini-storage module.
Note

RAID controller.
• Disabled—Disable the embedded sSATA RAID controller.
Step 2
Press F10 to save your changes and exit the utility.

For the sSATA controller, select LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility (sSATA).
