Z820 Stuck on HP Screen when Booting when a 10 TB drive is installed on one of the drive bays

@DGroves,  Thank You! 

I reset the BIOS, and had to configure Raid to get the System to boot.  Once I completed the RAID0 Configuration with the 10TB and a 2TB, then I was able to boot.  Now that I have the BIOS configured properly, I can decide on a RAID configuration that will protect my data as well as speedup my process.  I appreciate your guidance and support.  🙂

the onboard LSI controller is not suited for raid 5 even though it does offer that option it's really a raid 0/1 controller

if you require a better raid card i recommend the adaptec ASR-71605T with it's optimal cache/BBU module (check ebay)

you can make this card work with the internal 4 hotswap bays by using SATA male to male adapters

Great recommendations; Thank You...

While I prepare and purchase these items, I was able to load three 4 TB drives into the available bays and created a RAID1E. I get 6TB of work space out of it.  This is a good temporary measure until I finish with my final approach of RAID5.

I hope to have it all done in two weeks.  Yeah!!!

Thank again for your guidance and support.  It took awhile to get the answers, but in the end it all worked-out.
