DL380 G3 Xeon 3.2GHz-- need PCIX SAS Controller

[Paul Fisher Jr]

Does anyone know if HP makes a PCI-X SAS Controller (with external port) that will work in an older DL380 G3 Proliant?

I'm needing to install an external (Rack Mount) HP Tape Autoloader (Part# AK377SB), and can't seem to locate a SAS controller for the DL380 G3 that has PCI-X connectivity.

Thanks in advance

Dear Paul,

No there is nothing like that, You won't get one.

Your server has only PCI-X Slots and the speed is limited to MAX 2.1 Gbps

But the SAS Controller's Minimum Speed is Should be 3 Gbps, hence they employ PCIe HBA Cards.
