I'm trying to install an E200 with 128Mb option into a Dell PE440 on the PCI x4 connector.

The Dell's BIOS only refers to Onboard boot devices and Dell tec support refuses help as this is non standard stuff. HP are no help and the Smart start Cd will not work with the Dell product. I'v configged 2003 on the supplied SATA drive an dloaded the E200 drivers and configed 3x Hitachi SAS drives in a RAID 5 logical drive using the Array Config Utility (ACU) .

I see the RAID BIOS but there are no f8 , f9 , ctrl a , ctrl R type keystrokes to access the BIOS and make it bootable.

I've loaded an Adaptec 1210 PCI SATA RAID controller and loaded Win 2003 but wish to use the E200 .

Does anyone know if this controller is bootable??

E200 info here


E200 BIOS ver 1.66

Any help greatly appreciated.
