Hello,

The latest SmartStart CD for ML370G4 is 7.91, but 7.90 should work fine.

Are you using the on-board controller? And are you sure that all HDDs are properly attached?

Do you see any HDDs in the ORCA (you can get into it during the power-on-self test).

Regards,

>>ACU cannot recognize the Controller

By default ML370 G4 does not have any SmartArray controller.
Are you sure you have SmartArray controller on your ML370 g4 ?

Yes im using on board controller, but still controler cannot detect by ACU, also all HDD are attached carefully. Yesterday i tried to manually install windows using manual driver for attached SATA controler using Diskkete. Windows works fine. Raid Configure at windows using dynamic disk methode. Hopefully this way will be the solution. But still the question how come controller was not detected by the latest Smart Array???.
Thanx aniway for help.

hi

by default that server is shipped with one of these

# Storage Controller:
* Integrated Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter
* Ultra320 High Performance Models ship with the Smart Array 6404/128 Controller
* SAS Array and SAS High Performance Models ship with the Smart Array P600/256 BBWC Controller

in the case server has the first one Smartstart wont recognize controller

regards
