Strangely the smart array controller B320i which is listed in the quick specs does not fit. How do i manage this server to read SAS disks?</P> Thu, 15 Mar 2018 09:18:46 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/hp-dl360e-gen8-and-sas-disks/m-p/6999777#M161680 FHMM 2018-03-15T09:18:46Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/hp-dl360e-gen8-and-sas-disks/m-p/6999813#M161690 <P>Hi&nbsp;<a href="https://community.hpe.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1905806">@FHMM</a></P><P>The B320i support SAS disks but you need a SAS license Key.</P><P><A href="https://marketplace.hpe.com/pdp?catId=18964&amp;reqCatId=5269162&amp;catlevelmulti=18964_72366_70267_5269162&amp;prodNum=BC393A&amp;country=nz&amp;locale=en" target="_blank">https://marketplace.hpe.com/pdp?catId=18964&amp;reqCatId=5269162&amp;catlevelmulti=18964_72366_70267_5269162&amp;prodNum=BC393A&amp;country=nz&amp;locale=en</A></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><A href="https://h20195.www2.hpe.com/v2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=c04128167" target="_blank">https://h20195.www2.hpe.com/v2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=c04128167</A></P><P>HP Dynamic Smart Array B320i/512MB FBWC Controller</P><P>NOTE: Provides support for up to 8 SAS or SATA drives and includes SAS license key.</P> Thu, 15 Mar 2018 12:32:40 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/hp-dl360e-gen8-and-sas-disks/m-p/6999813#M161690 derick_souza 2018-03-15T12:32:40Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/hp-dl360e-gen8-and-sas-disks/m-p/6999820#M161693 <P>I bought the B320i Controller, one like this: <A href="https://duckduckgo.com/?q=hp+b320i&amp;t=hf&amp;atb=v92-5_j&amp;iax=images&amp;ia=images&amp;iai=http%3A%2F%2Fi.ebayimg.com%2Fimages%2Fi%2F191593574588-0-1%2Fs-l1000.jpg" target="_blank">https://duckduckgo.com/?q=hp+b320i&amp;t=hf&amp;atb=v92-5_j&amp;iax=images&amp;ia=images&amp;iai=http%3A%2F%2Fi.ebayimg.com%2Fimages%2Fi%2F191593574588-0-1%2Fs-l1000.jpg</A></P><P>But it does not fit into the server.
