Proliant 370 G2

[Gavin Palmer]

Hi,

I am about to add an additional raid controller to my ml370 server. I was wondering if like the proliant 350, it has both a primary and secondary pci bus? What do I need to look out for when adding the card, so that the server does not try and boot off the new raid array controller?

All responses greatly recieved.

Hi Gavin,

The ML370 G2 does have BUS 2 & BUS 3.

BUS 3 is the 64-bit, 66Mhz hot-plug Tertiary designed for the 532 & 5300 Series Controllers intended for this Server. It utilizes Slot #1 & #2. The Controller installed in the lower Slot #1 will be the default boot device. If it is necessary for some other reason to have the boot Controller in Slot #2 then the Controller Order can be corrected in the RBSU (ROM Based System Configuration Utility) by pressing ???F9??? on POST.

BUS 2 has 64-bit size and 33Mhz speed. It utilizes PCI Slots #3, 4, 5, & 6.
