Hello everyone!

So I'm running into issues with my Intel S2600CP2J -based "server". Like many here this is a NATEX used board, and AFAIK this is a retired AWS server.

Following a cold boot the board boots from what I'm terming BIOS A - which doesn't point to my SSD w/ my OS on it.

Upon a warm reboot - using the Three Finger Salute / Ctrl-Alt-Del - the board uses what I'm terming as BIOS B - which does point my SSD.

Issue with BIOS A is that it does not see anything hanging off the SATA ports or my LSI card. The soft reboot will then cause the internal ports to be picked up by the BIOS.


So does this board have a dual BIOS of some kind? What terms in Google should I be looking for in order to learn more about this issue.
