Bios of Sli 3132 based PCIe card

[citorinut]

I have an Sli 3132 based raid card, PCIe interface. I want to get into its bios via f4 or Ctrl+S. The option (pre windows boot) does appear on a computer with an AMD cpu / via chipset. However, on an Intel based mainboard, it won't display the option to enter the bios of the Sata RAID card NOR does F4 or Ctrl +S work to take me into the bios.

This doesn't make sense to me. It is behaving differently per motherboard which I haven't seen before on a card like this.

All I want to do on the Intel system is setup a RAID 1 group THEN install Windows. I don't want to create the mirror AFTER windows is installed.

I hope that makes sense and someone can assist or explain why this is happening.

Thanks,

I assume you haven't read the manual? Some BIOSes have an option to change the key you press to enter the settings menu. Check the manual to see which options are available.

I can get into the MAINBOARD BIOS' .

My problem is that in one board, I can enter the BIOS of the SLi3132 Raid card. When in my intel based board, I cannot enter the bios of the SLi3132 card NOR does it prompt me to enter it.
