Re: Proliant ML310 Embedded SATA Controller Problems

The backplane was removed. We are using the NON hot-swap configuration so we don't need the SATA or SAS backplane. We've kept the cage because we are using old SCSI drive enclosures with our SATA hard drives. Works like a charm.

Again, the SATA RAID setup program is not finding the drives. The only thing I can think of is that only HP hard drives are useable. There are no DIP switches or jumpers on the motherboard and/or hard drives to make this possible. I just wanted to confirm this for my own peace of mind.

Well, i have seen a instance or two where a couple guys have successfully used non hp disks.
Try a single disk directly connected to the sata controller without any external storage.

Scott,

Have a look at this link.

Search for "Use of the embedded SATA RAID feature requires installation of a driver from a floppy drive".

Did you try this --> http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/25280.html
