Intel S1200SPL not able to keep chosen boot order

[MMarc20]

Hello,

Board is brand new, status LEDs looks OK, no strange beeps, cleared CMOS, updated to latest BIOS version, replaced CMOS battery and still can't get the board to keep a boot order I've chosen. Option is set to Legacy.

Drives present are the following:

1 x Samsung Pro 850 256GB SATA (Where the OS is and that's the drive I want to boot from)

2 x Intel SSD 750 1.2TB PCIe (for apps and data, software RAID 1)

2 x Seagate 2TB ST2000DM006 (for system back up)

I see all drives in the BIOS (Have to switch to UEFI mode to see the NVMe drives, but I don't want to boot from them anyway)

So what happen is whatever boot order I pick, it keeps loosing it and tries to boot from the Seagate drives or UEFI devices randomly. I have to press F6 to chose the right drive every single time I boot the server.

Running Windows Server 2016 Standard and SQL Server 2016, and it's rock solid once it's booted.

2 X 16GB Intel certified Micron memory modules and Xeon E3-1245 v5 CPU installed.

Thanks in advance.

I solved my problem by clearing up the CMOS again.
