Re: DL380 G2 Smart Array 5i Failure?
I agree that the 5i is probably faulty unless it has simply been disabled in the BIOS. Unfortunately replacements are still quite expensive to buy, even from Ebay (Spare part is 228510-001).
http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?sofocus=bs&sbrftog=1&catref=C6&from=R10&_trksid=m37&satitle=228510-001&sacat=-1%26catref%3DC6&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D2&sadis=200&fpos=ZIP%2FPostal&sabfmts=1&saobfmts=insif&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=&fsop=1%26fsoo%3D1&coaction=compare&copagenum=1&coentrypage=search
A cheaper and better solution is to buy a Smart Array 5300 which has write-back cache. You will need to give up one of the PCI slots however and also run a point-to-point SCSI cable to the SCSI backplane from the Smart Array 5300.
http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?sofocus=bs&sbrftog=1&from=R10&_trksid=m37&satitle=smart+array+5300&sacat=-1%26catref%3DC6&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D2&sadis=200&fpos=ZIP%2FPostal&sabfmts=1&saobfmts=insif&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=&fsop=1%26fsoo%3D1&coaction=compare&copagenum=1&coentrypage=search
If you do replace the 5i with another Smart Array controller, you can remove the faulty 5i from the system board and set the SCSI Interlock switch (Switch 1) to the ON position. This will then ignore the fact that the 5i controller has been removed from the system board. If it's faulty you are just wasting power to it anyway. You must set this switch once you remove the 5i or you will get an interlock error.
I have attached the led, switch and jumper section (Chapter 4) from the DL380 G2 server service manual to this reply. See pages 4-18 and 4-19 for the location and settings if you need them. The server top cover also has these details.
I hope this helps.
