Cannot access the WebBios on LSI MegaRaid 9260/9265
You start your system, and when the LSI bios appears, you hit ctrl+H to access the WebBios. Nothing happens, and the system continues to access the next drive in line for bootup order.
The WebBios will not start on some motherboards unless you press the key during the POST that allows you to select your Boot Device. On an ASUS board, you will probably have to hit F8. EVGA boards use F11. This will depend on your exact board, but you must press the key that allows you to pick your boot device, it should be on your splash screen or manual.
Once you have done that, wait for the LSI Bios to appear, and hit ctrl+H during that part. The motherboard will now present you a list of devices to boot from. Select the MegaRaid card and the WebBios should now appear.
Doing this may result in your boot device order being mixed up. Make sure you enter your motherboard settings and reset the raid controller as the first device to boot from if you plan on booting with it after adjusting settings in the WebBios.
Thanks for tip Gary. I'll add a bit to your great advice. On a SuperMicro X8DAH Motherboard there is a BIOS setting to allow remote BIOS's to pass IRQ 17 by default this is disabled by switching this to ENABLE I was able to get into the webBios.

FYI, similar technique works on ASRock motherboards too, described here:
