Re: ML110 Server won't boot with external sata HD connected
I know it's not designed to have a USB HDD connected permanently. Ideally a tape drive is what you want to install but some client don't won't to fork out for a tape backup so the next best thing is a external HDD.

Re: ML110 Server won't boot with external sata HD connected
We had first started with Cavalry esata drives with the internal to external brackets that came with the hard drive(s). The drives were not seen by the BIOS. Called HP tech support and they said only HP branded products were supported. They said that Western Digital and Seagate products might work but no guarantees.
We ordered a HighPoint 2642 RAID controller with ESATA ports and plugged the Cavalry drives into that. Got the 'No Operating System Found'. Tried different configs, cables and chanting around an open flame while holding a chicken with the same result. Poking around in the BIOS we saw that you can expand the hard drive selection in the BIOS under boot order.
Here is the fix: Go into BIOS, Boot section, set your boot order to the following:
1. CDROM/DVDROM
2. USB
3. +Hard Drives
Expand your hard drives by highlighting and pressing enter. Your drives will be listed and move the desired bootable drive to the top of the list.
In our case we have an E200 controller for our internal drives and the HighPoint for the external drives. Moved the E200 to the top of the list and Voila!!!
Fast forward a few weeks later and setting up another server and same config, ML110 G5, E200, SAS drives, external sata this time in Fantom 1TB running on a Highpoint 622. Same error, 'No Operating System Found'. Having forgotten the fix and not documenting it we had to poke around and beat the brain bush a bit till we found it again in the hard boot order section of the BIOS again. Moved the E200 to the top again and problem fixed.
So we were able to get non-supported 3rd party hardware to work with the restrictive ML 100 series platform for all of the drives and controllers we needed to using this method. Simple solution that took a while to find and seconds to implement. Cheers

Re: ML110 Server won't boot with external sata HD connected
You showed me the clue for an ML110G5
1. Upgrade the bios
2. expand the hard drives in boot order as you suggested. The external usb hard drive now shows up in the list (it didn't before the bios upgrade)
3. move the external usb hard drive to the bottom of the list (disabling the external usb hard drive did not stop it from trying to boot from it.)
4. the ML110G5 now boots from the third party internal SATA Western Digital 1Tb drive like I want it too.
