I will also consider your suggestions for an Adaptec card, but slightly concerned that the same might happen again, especially if it might be a cable issue. Equally, if you can suggest a *known* good cable set, I will purchase immediately.

If you have an opinion on the suitability (or otherwise) of these cable sets, I would very much like to hear it. Here is the link to the cable sets I purchased: Under Windows 8.1, using a 'local standalone' installation of the Megaraid manager software, the login screen is not able to authenticate any local user. I have a third set of cables coming from the States so will duplicate all the tests with them and report back.

I can only assume that the cable sets I have are the REVERSE ones you mention, but I cannot find out how to test or indeed how to replace them. I then replaced the cables with another set, reset the BIOS to factory and ran all the combinations again - nothing!

I reset the BIOS to factory default then ran a series of 12 combinations of settings, disabling PXE boot room, SAS boot rom, SAS controller, network controller etc - all one at a time with a full boot to Windows each time. I even created a spreadsheet of settings tried to make sure I was as thorough as possible as I tried different combinations of settings. Sadly, however, I STILL have not managed to access the 9361 regardless of how many items I disabled in the BIOS. Many, many thanks for your reply - I have not been ignoring it, rather I have taken heart in your comments and have spent hours trying to follow your advice! I personally favor the flexibility of the adaptec cards as they support normal JBOD passthrough 'AND' raid at the same time!!ДЄnd they use super caps instead of batteries so no having to replace them every few years just make sure you buy one WITH the cache/battery daughterboard Note that the 9361 card is not going to really be any faster, as it's specs closely match the onboard LSI chipДЇor JBOD/Arrays i recommend adaptecs 8xxx or possibly the 7000 line of cardsДЇor RAID only the LSI true high end raid cards with onboard cache/battery backup are faster than the adaptec cards, but are raid only (no JBOD) One last thing to check, make sure the SAS/SATA cable is a FORWARD type cable, not the more common REVERSE type Once done, reboot and the pci-e LSI card's bios should now become active Test this theory by entering the z840 bios and 'disabling' the onboard LSI bios, it's only needed if you have to create a raid array or booting from the attached drives, any existing array/drives can/will still be seen by the os I suspect the issue is that 'BOTH' cards are using the same bios entry point and as such the first chip to be initialized gets the working bios which is the onboard chip in this case I no longer have my z840 but still have z820's which use the same onboard LSI SAS/SATA chipДЇirst, Disable PXE Boot ROM for network boot on both onboard nicsДЄlso if not booting from the onboard LSI SAS/SATA chip, disable the LSI Boot Rom from within the z840 bios
