Re: Ml350 G5 - DVD disappears in Windows

That doesn't fix it for me, but more importantly, do you recommend rolling back from BIOS version 2008.09.30 (A)27 Oct 2008?

Well that version worked for me on a Proliant ML350 G5 with that issue. You should try it.

Resolved an issue where the system can not boot to media in certain DVD-RW SATA optical drives. This issue is only seen on warm resets and only impacts ML350 G5 systems with SATA optical drives.

Re: Ml350 G5 - DVD disappears in Windows

I just had the same issue the end user reported a yellow bang under Adaptec HOST RAID SATA and the optical drive is missing, we downloaded the latest PSP but no changes after applied it, we then applied the latest System Rom 2008.11.02 (10 Dec 2008), reboot the server, same situation, then we did a clear NV RAM no changes, and then finally we followed the steps recommended by andy:

"Go to Device Manager - Right click 'Adaptec HOST RAID SATA Controller', select Update Driver - Install driver manually - Select Do not search, I'll choose the location - From the list of compatible devices, select PCI IDE Device and install the drivers."

And this fixed both issues, of course if the Adaptec HOST RAID SATA Controller problem is not present, you just need to do the System ROM update

Re: Ml350 G5 - DVD disappears in Windows

The BIOS System ROM link posted by Karlo Dec 11, 2008, has fixed the problem on our command line SCO Unix servers, and will be ditributed to the servers we've already shipped.

BIOS - System ROM Version: 2008.11.02 (10 Dec 2008)

Thanks to everyone.
