I enabled RAID in BIOS > Storage Options > SATA Emulations.
There are 2 matching HDD's attached to SATA ports 2 & 3.
On boot the Intel Rapid Storage screen shows both drives. It shows the prompt to hit "Ctrl + I" to enter setup.
However: when I hit, hold, or mash Ctrl+I before, during and after the IRS screen, it never enters RAID setup.
What is preventing me from entering the RAID setup menu?
Are there specific SATA ports I need the HDD's to be attached to?
Mainboard is model 2B4B, BIOS verson A0.11

Based on this post I tried using Intel Rapid Storage to make the RAID. IRST wasn't installed/accessible in Windows so I donwloaded it... when installing I was told there was a newer version already installed (weird because I couldn't access it).
IRST in Windows made the RAID volume. No need to enter during POST/startup.
