That was my recommendation if you couldn't get into the BIOS.

I have a HP Z210 workstation that we've added an Intel RAID card (model RS25DB080) to. &nbsp;System boots fine no post errors and we see the BIOS from the RAID card and that it sees all 3 drives we have connected to it. &nbsp;However when we hit CTRL+G to enter the BIOS for the Intel RAID card it recognizes the key stroke as the message changes to &quot;will enter BIOS when post completes&quot; but it nevers enters the BIOS it moves right along to attempting to load the OS.<br />

Looking for some ideas, we've disabled the onboard RAID controller and set it to do a full boot so we could catch any error messages but we aren't seeing any at all.

HP Z210 Workstation with Add-in RAID Card

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.

Desktops

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
