BIOS Configuration UtilityThe BIOS Configuration Utility, also known as Ctrl+R or Option ROM (OPROM), is a storage management application integrated into theSystem BIOS accessible using F2 during system boot, which configures and maintains RAID disk groups and virtual disks on SATA drives.The BIOS Configuration Utility (Ctrl+R) is independent of the operating system.NOTE: Use the Ctrl+R for initial setup and disaster recovery. You can use advanced features through OpenManage storagemanagement applications.NOTE: Configuring NVMe PCIe SSDs is not supported using the BIOS configurationutility.NOTE: Ensure that you use only the S140 UEFI configuration utility to configure the NVMe PCIe SSDs during preboot. To enableRAID mode for NVMe PCIe SSDs, see Setting the NVMe PCIe SSDs to RAID mode .NOTE: RAID configuration using OPROM is not supported on systems with the NVMe PCIeSSD.The following sections provide information about using the Ctrl+R. For more information, see the online help option by pressing F1 in theCtrl+R.The table below indicates the tasks that are supported or not supported by the PERC S140 at the Ctrl+R.Table 8.
