Re: ibm server

Not necessarily the right forum for this question, but thinking back to my IBM days...

IBM Servers had/have a ServeRAID card, much like the Smart Array Controller in that it is a RAID card.

If you are putting in a ServeRAID card, then you most certainly need to install drivers for the controller. There is also software, like HP ACU to configure your drives. ServeRAID Manager I think it was/is.

Generally speaking, IBM servers did not come with a builtin RAID card. not sure what the deal is today. Without knowing your model though there is no way to look anything up...

The model# is 5tx. I'm working with an eServer xSeries 232 server.
