Something I forgot...

I know that the card is working, because I get the message during boot telling me to hit Ctrl-S or F4 to enter the RAID utility, which is a different procedure than I got at first when the drives were plugged into the motherboard ports, and is consistent with other motherboards I've had with the Silicon Image SATA RAID controllers. The problem is, I am unable to enter the utility, by either keystroke(s). I've tried three times, within the short time frame allowed by the BIOS. Frustrating? Yes. Still, the array should be seen by the card and displayed during the boot record, and I'm only seeing individual disks. Ummm...ideas?
