272653-001 is a

Ultra320 SCSI adapter - 64-bit, 133MHz dual channel PC board for PCI-X slot (Option 268351-B21)

That is a PCI-X card.

Do you guys have the PCI-X riser board as seen in the quickspecs - http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/13234_div/13234_div.HTML ?

[CPEBAR]

yes we have PCI-X riser board 496077-001 and specially we ordered this board to install the scsi adpater ?? but seems this adapter is not compatible ??? any options can i check,, ??!

From the quickspecs the only SCSI HBA is this:

SCSI HBA
HP SC11Xe Ultra320 Single Channel/ PCIe x4 SCSI Host Bus Adapter
NOTE: Recommended HBA for SCSI tape drive connect.
412911-B2

-- It is quite likely that the one you had in the G3 will not work in the G6 --

I don't know of any options. You mean maybe something in the BIOS? Go ahead and take a look. Maybe firmware, maybe clearing the BIOS/CMOS/NVRAM may assist as well. But I don't think so.

Also in the quickspecs:

StorageWorks SCSI HBA
HP StorageWorks U320e SCSI Dual Channel Host Bus Adapter
NOTE: Recommended HBA for MSL SCSI Tape Library connect. AH627A

@Johan,
are you saying that either one of the cards you recommend (from the documentation) will work in the DL380 G6? That is good news!
I just received a card that will not fit (it is full length, full height) the half length half height stock riser card in the secondary PCI-X. . . (sigh)
* * *
Is it possible to find a riser card that will work to connect my full length full height PCI-X Ultra 320 SCSI card to the primary PCI-X slot. . .?
* * *
I'll go check it out and begin the search...

[Johan Guldmyr]

I don't think you want to run with a card that's not supported. If you ever do get some problems and need help from HP first thing support will check is that..

NOTE: Please see the QuickSpecs for additional information:
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12566_na/12566_na.html
(SC11Xe HBA)

This the only recommended SCSI adapter in quickspecs. I would use this one for compatibility.

Thanks for the reminder... my experience with HP configuration (especially with dynamic and basic disks for storage ... sigh) ... fully demonstrates, to me anyway, that straying off the straight and narrow as determined by HP is only asking for trouble that will ultimately arrive at the most inopportune time. . .

I'm sticking with the recommended cards and configurations. . .

Until that time... Earl J.

Earl J, most of the HP adapters come with full height and half height bracket that you change manually.
