How do I get the HP p410 RAID controller to work in my situation?

Question

Iron

The situation, I bought a new HP P410 controller for my gaming PC to expand the basket:
i7 6700k
MSI Z170 mortar
16Gb RAM
, the rest accompanies and is not so important. So I installed the controller in an empty PCI-e slot and turned on the system. System issued
Slot 36 HP Smart Array P410 Initializing \\\
with the subsequent determination of 512MB memory and 0 local drivers, although as a test, a SATA terabyte screw was connected, which is determined by the mother through the built-in chipset. This is followed by a reboot and so on in a circle. You can't enter the bios, it won't let you. As far as I understood from reading Google, that it is necessary to change the settings in the BIOS, but I just don’t understand which ones, because in my case, in the BIOS, the pci-e settings can only be read, and pci 2 lines. If removed from the controller slot, Windows loads without problems, I can go into the BIOS.

Here I read the method, as far as I understood that you need to boot by inserting another device into pci-e, then supposedly an item will appear that needs to be disabled, namely
Boot into the BIOS and under "PCI/PCIe" settings, set the Option ROM to "Disabled"
However, this is not my case, apparently due to a different type of mother. While reading the settings in the BIOS, I came across a quick boot item, but this thing, in addition to saving time, which in my case is already meaningless, will not initialize devices, incl. and usb, which means I won’t get into the BIOS raid of the controller.
what do you advise?

Answer 1

try playing with these parameters (taken from the manual for the board):

PEG X - Max Link Speed [Auto]
Sets PCI Express protocol of PCIe x16 slots for matching different installed
devices.
[Auto] This item will be configured automatically by BIOS.
[Gen1] Enables PCIe Gen1 support only.
[Gen2] Enables PCIe Gen2 support only.
[Gen3] Enables PCIe Gen3 support only.


LAN Option ROM [Disabled]
Enables or disables the legacy network Boot Option ROM for detailed settings.
This item will appear when Onboard LAN Controller is enabled.
[Enabled] Enables the onboard LAN Boot ROM.
[Disabled] Disables the onboard LAN Boot ROM.

As mentioned above, all this is dancing with a tambourine. we have one lsi with asus made friends, and the other controller is not. When you buy equipment, you need to either choose from compatible ones or test before buying. It's easier with servers - there is always HCL.
This controller will help in three cases: if a battery is installed and the write cache is enabled (both quickly and reliably) or when something like raid-5 is used (when you need to count) or sac screws are used. For the rest, you can get by with mdadm or the built-in raid controller.
Otherwise - for work it does not give anything in terms of speed, in case of failure - you need to find a similar piece of iron, which also costs good money (if you take it from work)
