22. Hard drives connected through SAS expander can’t be detected in

legacy mode

Problem If hard drives are connected through expander to SCU ports and configured

under RSTe mode, the hard drives can’t be detected by system in legacy mode

(default BIOS setting).

install OS. But users can install OS to other hard drives which are not

connected through expander and load RSTe driver to make the hard drives

connected through expander visible to OS. Or users can change Boot Options -

> EFI Optimized Boot to “Enabled” in BIOS Setup so that hard drives

connected through expander can be detected by the system.

Status This issue was fixed in BIOS 01.08.0003 and later release.

Workaround None.
