Dear Intel Community,
Thanks for the information.
Reset the BIOS to default, and then update it to the latest version, the noise level reduce when the server running, only some fans running, not like before all the fans running, which is great !
Now want to install VMware ESXI 5.0 and configure to RAID 1 (only have two SAS drives), however refer to "Technical Product Specification (PDF)", access to BIOS, under Advanced -> Mass Storage Controller Configuration, there is no configuration "Configure Intel Entry SAS RAID Module" with options of "IT/IR RAID/Intel ESRTII". But the configurations "Intel SAS RAID Module", "Onboard SATA Controller" and "SATA Mode" are available.
The comments for configuration "Configure Intel Entry SAS RAID Module" states "Unavailable if the SAS Module (AXX4SASMOD) is disabled or not present", how to identify whether or not the SAS Module (AXX4SASMOD) is disabled?
If there is no configuration "Configure Intel Entry SAS RAID Module" in the BIOS, can still test VMWare ESXi 5.0 under ESRT2 RAID or IT/IR RAID?
Please advice.
Thanks kindly,
