https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/smart-array-641-attaching-drives-to-controller/m-p/2999112#M8760 <BR />Hi all<BR /><BR />A question from a newbie: I cannot figure out how to attach my 2 SCSI drives to the controller. <BR /><BR />I have entered the ROM-based setup utility and the boot controller order is OK. But at startup it says there are no physical drives attached to the controller.<BR /><BR />It is probably a really simple thing, but I am totally stuck, and I cant "see the forrest because of all the trees" as we say in Danish. I am very frustrated and hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance.<BR /><BR />Thomas Tue, 17 Jun 2003 06:59:02 GMT Thomas Degel 2003-06-17T06:59:02Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/smart-array-641-attaching-drives-to-controller/m-p/2999112#M8760 <BR />Hi all<BR /><BR />A question from a newbie: I cannot figure out how to attach my 2 SCSI drives to the controller. <BR /><BR />I have entered the ROM-based setup utility and the boot controller order is OK.

I cannot be the first person to have encountered this.<BR /><BR />Question is hereby closed.<BR /><BR />Thomas Sat, 21 Jun 2003 20:15:50 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/smart-array-641-attaching-drives-to-controller/m-p/2999113#M8761 Thomas Degel 2003-06-21T20:15:50Z
