RAID Controller Considerations
Disabling the Embedded RAID Controller in the BIOS
Data migration from SW RAID to HW RAID is not supported and could result in data loss. Migrations
Caution
from SW RAID to HW RAID are supported only before there is data on the drives, or the case in which

If you migrate from using this embedded controller to a RAID controller card, you must disable the
embedded controller in the BIOS (see caution above).
Use the following procedure to disable the LSI MegaSR drivers.
Boot the server and press F2 when prompted to enter the BIOS Setup utility.
Step 1
Select the Advanced tab, then South Bridge.
Step 2
Step 3

Step 4
Press F10 to save your changes and exit the utility.
