DL760 - Integrated controller not seeing drives

[Chris Fink]

I have a DL760 G1 that used to have a 5300 controller in it. I have added 4 drives and tried to boot. When it initialized the integrated controller, it says there are no drives attached to it.

I have opened this puppy up and reseated everything. From what I can tell the back of the drive cage connects to the system board. There is then a connector by the PCI slots with a board attached and a SCSI cable coming from it, that used to connect to the 5300.

What do I need to do to get the integrated controller to see the drives.

Oh, I have put the 5300 back in and it saw the drives no problem.

Am I missing a connection somewhere?

Thanks!!!

The small chip with the scsi cable is the array bypass board; it is used to connected the backplane to a pci controller. If you want to use the embedded controller, you need to remove the bypass board and use the array enable board; it similar to the bypass board but has no cable. It ships standard with the sever and would have been removed when the 5300 was installed.

Great, I'll have to find it that board then

FYI ...

I never did find the board. Ended up using a 5300 instead.

Thanks for your help.

Vijay,

Just noticed you posted images.

Per the pics, we did have the integrated already on board, but it wasn't working, tried about 3 of them, no luck.
