Problem with ProLiant DL320 G6

Hello-
I purchased 3 identical ProLiant DL320 G6 Servers with 2 146GB 15k SAS Drives and B110i SATA Controller in each. When I first boot up, I needed to go into RBSU setup and enable the Embedded SATA Controller (B110i) and make sure the boot order saw it. That being done, the problems begin. Half the time the Server does not register the card on boot up so ACU cannot see it. The other half of the time, the Card is seen by ACU, but the drives are not. This happens on all three servers. Has anyone else run into this problem, or similar, and can you help me figure out why this is happening? Thanks

SAS disks and SATA controllers?

It is usually the other way around, SAS controllers will work with SATA disks.

From the quickspecs
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/13344_na/13344_na.html

"SAS drives require optional SAS Host Bus Adapter (HBA) or Smart Array Controller"

Re: Problem with ProLiant DL320 G6

So what's the better solution? The Drives I have have SATA connetions, but they're not being seen. So should I get different drives (what kind?) or an extra card for the drives I have (what kind ie. p400i etc.)?

Re: Problem with ProLiant DL320 G6

The same hp document is giving two totally different statements and the solution is also not working.

I request HP to clarify this situation
