Did you install the boot driver for SA ? If you didn't, then the drives won't be detected.

Refer the following link for documentation related to cabling, setup and configuration.

Hi Dharmu,

before you launch the Windows installer program on the CD from within the EFI shell (ie. : "fs0:\setupldr.efi" , do a "search all" command to load all ROM based EFI drivers from your installed I/O cards.

You should then also see a banner from the SmartArray controller showing you i.e.


HP Smart Array 5302-128 Controller (version 3.56) 1 Logical Drive


Press to run the Option ROM Configuration for Arrays Utility
Press to skip configuration and continue


Then launching the installer should work fine.


HTH
