Hi Sameh.

I have no experience with th BL495C.
So I have read a little aboute it.

1. Well you have got 2 internal SSD's = 2 * 64GB
The P700m is for use with the SAS switch and external storage ei the MDS600
And then you hav got the SAN option. Thats a lot of storage =)

2. Use Smart Start 8.30. It support The BL495c G6 and Windows 2003 R2 64bit.
I'm not sure if there's a RAID option on the internal drives.

3. The Smart array controller need access to some disks, in the external storage.
The SAS switch. If you have got a version 1 FW, then all servers can see all storage strait away.
If you have got ver. 2 FW it must be zoned.
If you got the MDS600. Ver 2 FW require the I/O modules to be 2.54 or newer, and it must be upgraded using ver. 1 fw. and HP SUM in debug mode.
