HPE E208i-p offline config

Hi,

I'm not on a UEFI server, but understand this card supports Legacy as well. If I try to boot from offline HP SSA, I get told USB booting is not supported in legacy mode. I'm using 3.25.4.0. Will any of the slightly older ones work?

This server doesn't have embedded optical drive either, so if I use a USB optical drive does HP SSA see that differently to a USB stick and load OK?

I literally only need to create a RAID 1 for Windows OS install!

Thanks
