HDD Configuration & Setup

[Ayman Altounji]

Hi,
I have recently purchased an ML370 G2, with 3 28Gb HDD. and 1 10Gb HDD. I have also have a raid 5i controller.

I have a couple of questions that I hope someone can answer for me.

1 - The server comes with a standard SCSI controller, is this controller disabled when the raid 5i controller is installed?

2 - If not can both controllers be used at the same time? What I am trying to achieve is to install the 10scsi HDD on the standard controller for the operating system (win200), and the other three HDD on the raid 5i in a mirror configeration

3 - If the above configeration I am seting up is incorrect, how should i set them up ?

thank you for any help you are able to provide

regards
sab

use the 5i for all drives
you should run 2 10gb drives as a mirrored pair and 3 28gb as raid 5
as far as I can tell there are 2 raid scsi connectors on the mainboard behind the drive bay.
