IMPORTANT: The Dynamic Smart Array B140i Controller is only available in UEFI Boot
Mode. It cannot be enabled in Legacy BIOS Boot Mode. If the B140i controller is disabled,
drives connected to the system board Mini-SAS connectors operate in AHCI or Legacy mode.
Under this condition:
• The drives cannot be a part of a hardware RAID or a logical drive.
• The Locate, Drive status, and Do not remove LEDs of the affected drives are not controlled
and will retain their last configured state. HPE SmartDrives preserve the last configured state
across power cycles.
