I believe it can also boot from this port using the B120i RAID but regardless, I wanted to use AHCI mode. The server does boot from this drive if the controller is set to SATA Legacy mode (by changing the controller boot order for #2 to be first in sequence, ODD bays 1-4 are on controller #1, ODD port is on controller #2). I discovered that my HP Microserver Gen8 does not boot from the 5th SATA port (the Optical Bay) when the controller is in AHCI mode.
