This server shipped with 3 Riser combinations:     I/O Riser with no ROMB and PCI-X slots     I/O Riser with ROMB and PCI Express slots     I/O Riser with ROMB and PCI-X slots It is possible you have the first option, with no RAID options.  It is also possible the RAID key is missing that would enable RAID on the latter 2 options and the Ctrl M capability.  Here is a link to user's guide to check your system: [URL] Regards,
Hi,  I have been given an 1850 to play with but I am having difficulty finding the RAID options. I have looked all over the forum and it seems to suggest that I need to press CTRL+M however no option appears during bootup. Currently it goes through the stages of LSI logic config CTRL+A Intel Boot agent IPMI CTRL+S  BMI CTRL + E  There is no part that requires a CTRL+M, would anyone be able to suggest where I am going wrong? Thanks :)
