Re: Proliant ML350 E200i SmartArray Controller Fails To Initialise

Hello,

I need help for a HP Poliant ML350 G5 : I get the message :

slot 0 HP Smart Array E200i controller initializing..... (HP in blue, SmartArray in red)

and after 2 ou 3 mn : -- self test failure --

I have changed the mainboard and the cage behind the hard disks (sas disks), and the probleme is exactly the same.

the battery of the smart array have been changed 6 monts ago, and a hard disk 2 months ago.

Please help me, it's very urgent (hostel's server in production)

Kind regards

Phil

Phil,

better open your own thread!

However, a failed cache module will lead to exactly the same error. Even of the cache is removed, you will get this error.

Try to install a new cache module.

It's possibly a fw issue with the new disk.
