The Perc H730 is a RAID Controller.... so you have to create one. With a single Disk you have to choose RAID0 for the VD(Virtual Disk). The OS Installer than will recognize the VD and you can install the OS on it. A H730p supports Passtrough instead of doing a RAID. In this config the Controller will present the single drives as is to the OS. The "S130" is the Software Controller. Regards,Joerg
I have a Samsung SSD 860 EVO 2.5" SATA III 500GB which I'm trying to use as the OS installation drive for a newly-acquired PowerEdge R430 with 8 2.5" drive bays. I've installed the drive in a drive caddy and installed it into the front panel. I am confident that the disk is connected in such a way that the machine can interact with it: However, when I boot from a (Fedora Server 38) USB drive to the OS installer ("Anaconda"), no Local Drives as a candidate for installation, and when I drop to terminal (with Ctrl-Alt-F1) `lsblk` does not show the SSD. I have seen some threads suggesting that it's important to "turn on" SATA slots, but I'm not sure how to do so. In particular, in "System BIOS > SATA Settings", I see slots A-J (i.e. 10 - not the 8 I would have expected), none of which are configurable: Information: I have tried:  
PowerEdge430 - BIOS can detect SSD but OS installer cannot
