Umable to attach u.2 backplane to a RAID controller on DL380 Gen10

ITLearner1 — Fri, 26 Apr 2024 14:39:41 GMT

I have a DL380 Gen10 Server

Earlier i bought a u.2 backplane (826689-B21) + U.2 NVME enablement kit (873732-B21) and installed 8x3.84 TB U.2 Drives

and restarting the server: they are working well but i can't configure them to work as RAID (The drive are physically connected directly to the NVMe Riser) so how can i set them to work as RAID knowing that i Have a MR-416i-P RAID Controller (but i dont have the coorect cables to connect it directly to to the backplane)

Any Idea about how to solve the problem will be appreciated

Thanks in advance

Hi,

If I check the 873732-B21, this is the cable part 875092-001
Please refer to the Cabling diagram for the above cable part number.

Thank You!

Dear Suman, Hi

The 873732-B21 is the SLim SAS riser with its cables, they are connected correctly to the riser, so i can browse the through Windows but as separated disks, i want to configure them as RAID6, But i cant. I know the cabling diagram but there is no cables (in my case) connected to the RAID controller.

The question is: is there any cables that connect the backplane directly to the controller knowing that i have MR-416P Controller and it is suitable to use in my case.

Any Idea?

Hi,

Other than the Cabling diagram, I have no idea about other connections.
Being a new server, can you contact HPE Support and get some help.

Thank You!
