HP RX2660 SAS ERROR - HELP

[HP RX4640]

I am tring to load HP-UX 11i V2 on some rx2660 servers but keep running into an error that I can not figure out.

They previously had SA-P400 RAID controllers in them thsoe were taken out.

The system hets to the HP-UX lard screen but will not load becasue it " does not see the disk drives "

SHOW SAS ERROR NO DRIVES SEEN I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE DRIVE ARE INSTALLE DIS SLOT 7 AND 8 AND THE SAS CABLE ARE HOOKED UP PROPERLY TO THE MOTHERBOARD????

I assume that it is becasue these machine had the RAID card in them but still dosn't make much sense to me..

PLEASE HELP:)

hi,

first thought is its not cabled up correctly, but if it is the disks should be found at the EFI shell? are they detected here?

if not then this is a hardware configuration error within the system

If they are then you may need a later version of the OE media, what is the version date code that you are using?
