a proplem with DL360 G4

[Believe_2]

Hi all
can you help me with my server DL360 G4 pls.
My server: Xeon 2.2, ram 2GB but it's boot very slow, it's about 15 minutes. I don't have to receive a error note. I have ran Dianogstic and everything is OK.
My HDD is SAS HDD with Raid 1. But i think it's unrelated because i try convert it to raid 0. My server is still slow.
I don't know why. Help me soon pls!

hi

I suppose you mean windows is very slow to load
after the server POST? am I right?

do you have any attached device to the server? storage?

do you have latest PSP or firmware?

Hi
not really. My server boot slow when the raid system appear:

...Smart array 6i controller ....


???

[Víctor Cespón]

DL360 G4 with Smart Array 6i and 2 SAS disks? Where? Smart Array 6i is SCSI (parallel), not SAS. The delay is after the Smart Array message, while it detects the disks? Try reseating the disks and disk backplane.

I don't thinh so, because it's slow when my HDD is detected. After Smart Array 6i controller appear.
any reasons ?

[KarloChacon]

yes Believe vcespon's idea is a good one (don't say that)

try vcespon steps, reseat SCSI-SAS backplane, reseat HDDS.

also clear NVRAM (do you know the procedure?)

also try updating firmware for the controller

and boot server without HDDs and check if takes too long again when the controller appears in POST

reseat PCI riser cage OK
