Accessing Motherboard BIOS in RAID 0 Setup

[jldodge]

I have the Tyan S2665 motherboard with onboard SCSI (Adaptec 7902). I also have the Adaptec RAID 2010S Controller card.

The 2010S BIOS is the controlling BIOS when I start the computer. However, I have IDE devices attached to the motherboard. How do I access the motherboard BIOS when/if I need to change the settings for non-SCSI items?

Note: I have tried the F2 key as indicated in Tyan's Motherboard User Manual and I can't get into the Motherboard BIOS.

Thanks in advance for the help ...

Make sure you've tried flashing the BIOS of everything in question. I have two SCSI adapters and have had situations where they and other cards that have BIOS stuff have gotten in each others' way. Flashing to the latest BIOS for all the cards and motherboard has almost always solved it.

Also try swapping slots around, make sure you are hitting the motherboard's setup key early enough and are giving it enough time (on mine you hit the motherboard setup key just after the video BIOS, it then goes and loads the two SCSI BIOS, and then it comes back and enters the motherboard setup), and worst case pop out the problem card long enough to adjust the mobo settings.
