Fujitsu MX1310 Server with a SAS 9210-8i sas card issues

[Mason64]

Hey

after some great help on the forum i have finally ordered the sad card and cable and its arrived

i have ordered the following LSI SAS 9210-8i 8-port 6Gb/s PCIe HBA RAID SATA Controller card= 9211-8I 9220-8I

i have an issue that the server i am installing it in to. The server is a MX1310 M1 and I cant for the life of me get the SAS card working (well the card works for showing the drives in proxmox but when i try to access the config on bootup to access the raid config i dont get any prompts to access it, plugged in to a desktop pc to test and the config came up (Ctrl H).

so far I have tried the latest bios version. making sure the bios is on legacy not UEFI but nothing comes up asking to enter the card.

if i enable raid on the motherboard i get this

but that's just for the drives that are plugged in to the board not the sas card.

I am not sure if the Mega raid software is the onboard and the LSI sata raid found at PCI bus is the sas card?

Any ideas ?
Thanks all for reading

Hi @Cyber-Mav no i dont think so, i havent done it. I will look at updating the firmware on the card now and flashing it to initiator target mode and get back to the topic.

Thanks for the help and advice.
