Scsi Controller Issue

[tripper91]

I have a 5200 SCSI controller card running on a ml370 g2. When i plug the hard disks into it through the cage, smartstart doesnt recognise any boot controllers and the server doesnt load the OS. Is there anything specific to look out for e.g. lights. Any suggestions are appreciated,

thanx in advance!

Hi,

5200 Controller, I guess its Smart array 53XX controller.

Boot the Server and go to BIOS F9 RBSU
Check the "Boot controller Order" and change it accordingly and then try.
Hope this helps

yeah soz 5300 card. nop that didnt work,i think the card may be broken because it sometimes displays a couple of yellow lights, but if i push the card around a bit 5 blue led's will light up and the yellow ones will stop. but kno matter what lights of displayed when the server boots, "No scsi boot device found". Is my card broken? in smartstart no card is detected and in ACU no cotroller is recognised. By the way wat is a host bus adapter, thanx!

One question the smart start don´t recognized the controller after you plug the disks or on boot the system board doesn´t recognized the controller???

[tripper91]

yeah both because when i boot the server with the card attatched to the drives, it says no SCSI devices found and in smartstart there is no device in ACU.

Well i believe that the controller is damaged or the pci slot of your system board.
Try to change first the controller 5xxxx
