Re: 1600R 2DH controller adding new drive
Yes it is possible to add the drive with this controller. What you need to do is update the system bios, firmware of SA2DH. Make sure you have the latest drivers. Surely make a BACKUP of your existing data. I would shut down the system and add the extra drive. Reboot the server and go into Array configuration Utility which should pick up the drive and then go from there. If you need further assistance please let me know.

Re: 1600R 2DH controller adding new drive
Please let me know what do you have and then I will let you know as to whether you have the latest one or not. There is no minimum or maximum in those things. Both should be updated anyways.

Re: 1600R 2DH controller adding new drive
The support pack, however, doesn't show that the NT driver is installed for the smart array-2 controller, instead the proliant drive array driver is installed and current (4.24.0.0). Does this make sense?
Is there a way to check the bios without rebooting?

Re: 1600R 2DH controller adding new drive
Yes BIOS can be confirmed by doing the following:
START-->RUN-->WINMSD hit enter thereafter and it should give you all the details about your system. The firmware version of S2DH is definitely old and it should 4.50 which can be downloaded from the following link:
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/14981.html
As for as the driver is concerned, here is the link:
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/17322.html
Please be aware that you have some downtime in your hands since these updates do require reboot. The driver link I have provided is by assuming that you have W2K installed.

Re: 1600R 2DH controller adding new drive
I suppose you must have add that Hdd by know.
4th one with 18 GB. It will work also u will be able to create logical drive 2 for same IN A SAME ARRAY. But you you will loose the amount of free disc space if you are adding to same.
If you are concerned about space then make a new array with Raid 0
If you have implemented then do tell me the outcome. Or is it different from what i have alobrated.

Prashant S.
