SR2600URLXR - Disable Intel RAID

[mvemelyanenko]

Hello,

I don't want to create RAID arrays in BIOS, I just want to use the hard drives, but they are not recognised by Linux if I don't configure them in RAID.

Can I use the server without RAID?

So basically all I had to do is take out Intel RAID Activation Key from the RAID midplane.
