Help setting up Proliant 1850

[K.C. Chan]

I bought this from a second hand source. I am getting this error when doing disk array diagnostic:
scsi port 1 drive id 0 is not stamped for monitoring
scsi port 1 id 5 is not stamped for monitoring

Should I be concerned about it? If so, then how do I resolved this error? Thanks.

Hello Mike,
It all depends if you have COMPAQ/HP proprietory Hard Drives. If this is the case then you can always update the firmware of the Array Controller and apply M&P patch by downloading SP16373 from the following link:

And for the Array Controller you need SP19677 which can be downloaded from:

The drives in the system are not Compaq drives, so the intelligent hardware and firmware in the 1600 does not know what to do with the drive. You can safely ignore the messages, but it will pop up on every reboot.
