ML350 - 431 verses Hot-Plug Cage
4 x U3 18 Gig in Hot-Plug Cage (1 Compaq original, 3 Compaq Fujitsu)
Drive Cage = 4 LVD 387090-001 4-bay, simplex backplane board 010062-001
On boot, if cage attached to Feature Board, drives are detected no matter which order placed.
On boot, if cage attached to 431 (slot2), no drives detected.
No Drives utilize jumpers even though 1 drive has them.
Using 5.5 Setup, the 431 is detected with or without the Feature Board SCSI on/off in BIOS, but cannot detect the drives.
Many hours of research. IтАЩm at the mercy of any genius out there that can help me get this thing up and running.
Objective is:
2 drives (two partitions) OS/Programs (Raid1)
2 drives (one partition) Archive Data (Raid1)
Someone help me - - - please !!!

Re: ML350 - 431 verses Hot-Plug Cage
Had you installed drive in the cage or someone before you?
How did you get system, is there was O/S loaded?
Can you just Test COMPAQ Drive with 5.5 CD?
I have at home same scenario mix COMPAQ with Third Party drives, however it Works fine.
Or
you can try to boot from firmware CD either 7.3 or 7.4, who know you might be able see COMPAQ drive at least, just to confirm that 431 is good controller.
Test One Drive at Time

Re: ML350 - 431 verses Hot-Plug Cage
431 purchased after the fact as an addition to the system from same vendor.
5.5 is the only one for this system - 7.3 and 4 not usable.
Firmware where applicable done including BIOS, and 431 from 1.02 to 1.24
Cage came with the unit and Feature Board sees it and the 4 drives just fine.
431 can't see anything.
Single drives tested one at a time earlier. No go
Tried 431 in other slots - No go
Tried 431 with 2 Fujitsu U2's and U3's separate times as pairs, lun 0 and 1 with appropriate cable - still No go.
Vendor owner went through procedures with me over the phone last night - he's puzzled too.
I'm not new at this but this circumstance was a first for me.
Since I'm an EE, Cage, cable, 431 pulled and benched - cable continuity checks OK - no visual problems found and power distribution through the card is there.
Reinstalled it all. BIOS and 5.5 sees the 431, no drives detected regardless of drive arrangements.
I'm beginning to think the 431 might be static-bad. If there's another test or something we're overlooking, I'm all ears, but will post findings as they occur and if worthy.
Thanks for the come back. Robert
