Trying to build a server

    I have a 1U system with 4 disk in there and I'm simply trying to get an OS on there. Windows 2008 is fine for now but it doesn't actually see the disks. When I entre the BIOS they are there......RAID 5, 4 disks, 1 virtual disk. But there is a message that the BBU battery is either not installed, not charged or defective so the Write method is set to Write Through...or something.

    I've researched the BBU and see that it's a backup to preserve cached data in the event of power failure. But TBH I'm not really that concerned about such a level of data security. This will only be a test box. Is there a way to operate without this BBU thing?

    Thanks
