DL145 G3 Sata Raid

[Nathan Overley]

I have a new HP Proliant DL145 G3 server.

I am trying to configure the two 80GB sata drives for mirroring with the Smart Array E200.

I can not find the option in either the BIOS or the POST.

Can someone please help me?

Thanks,
Nathan

when the controller in detecting during POST press F8, to get inside ORCA and make the RAID 1.

Thanks for your response. I tried that and it didn't work.

When it is detecting the sata drives, the top of the screen says "ServerWorks serial ATA controller....etc"

Could it be that the E200 isn't enabled for some reason?

Thanks,

Nathan

Well I guess that explains it. When I try to flash it, it tells me that the controller isn't found. I'm pretty sure his server was supposed to come with the E200 but maybe they messed up.

Thanks for your help!
