hello,

Your Hp Proliant DL180 have a missing one part device/hardware...the device is "smart array controller"..u should buy the device from HP,because the device is came separately from the server.

When the smart array controller installed,try start your server then u can see the HDD...

Hi dear adapod,
As per Quickspecification
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12754_div/12754_div.HTML

Following Storage Controllers are supported:
HP Embedded SATA RAID Controller on Non-Hot Plug SATA Models
HP 8 Internal Port SAS HBA with RAID 0,1 on Hot Plug SAS/SATA Models
HP Smart Array E200 Controller
HP Smart Array P800 Controller

As per the above discussion it seems pklam is looking for the following driver:
HP Embedded SATA RAID Controller Driver for Windows 2000/Windows Server 2003

Hi pklam,
Please if it can help u.
If correct driver is in use & all the spare has been replaced & still the issue is persisting then you can escalate it with hp support & demand for a new working unit.

Hi pklam,
please refer to the above quickspecification & very the correct h/w combination.
It is HP Embedded SATA RAID Controller on Non-Hot Plug SATA Models
i.e. Only Use Non-Hot Plug SATA HDD with onboard controller.

Hope that would help
