We are using the LSI RAID controller with your 24 drive chassis. We are trying to use one RAID1 unit and twenty-two single units. Motherboard model is MB-X8DTE. When we create more than 17 RAID units the Supermicro BIOS appears to ignore the controller and attempt to net boot. Please help.
Please check if there is a way to reduce the number of the INT 13 devices reported in the LSI RAID configuration. We don’t recommend increasing the number of the devices in BIOS. The number can only be increased by 2 or 3, and this will consume more runtime space causing other option ROM issue.
Please refer to LSI FAQ #16578 for more information:
