HP DL 360 G5 Smart Array E200i

[Sohrab Syed]

I have two DL 360 G5 with Smart Array E200i and 3x146GB disks but now when I wanted to add to additional disks of 300 GB it only detects one in Bay4 and second 300 GB disk in Bay5 is not detected. Please advice.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

you need the "HP SAS 4i to Mini SAS 4i 31 inch/.79 meter cable" (411100-B21) to use the bays 5 and 6. Without the cable you can't use the additional bays. The cable is included in the high performance models, but optional to entry and standard server models.

Best regards,
Patrick

Thankyou Patrick for your quick reply.

Actually I forgot to mention that the Smart Array E200i is onboard and seems to have only one connector. Does this mean that I will have to buy another controller and connect the new hdds.

Hello Sohrab,

you can use the E200i. The cable is like an Y. Two connectors are consolidated to one controller port. You need only this cable.

Hello,

yes. This is the needed cable. You can search for it in the latest quickspecs of the DL360 G5.

Best regards,
