rx5670

[Jon Steele]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has installed an A9890A raid card in this system? I installed one in an rx4640 and everything worked great. When I try and install one in this rx5670 server it does not work correctly. It will not let me go in to it to configure it when I have it connected. When I unplug the cable it comes up and I can hit f8 and go into the card. It says I do not have any drives. When I connect the cable to the card it gives me a controller error and will not let me go into it to configure it. I have try this without drives in the machine and the same thing happens. The only way it will let me hit f8 is when there is no internal cable connected to it. I am using the A9828A cables HP said to use on this machine. I have tried 2 different cables. Any ideas?

Thanks
Jon

Also I have updated the system firmware to the newest.

Hi Jon,

have a look:

Check minimum FW levels and be aware - no internal disks supported.
