HP Netserver LC3

Is it possible to add an IDE hard drive on the integrated IDE controller? I need extra space and IDE hard drives are so cheap.

I currently have a SCSI 8 gig RAID array as the boot device and it will remain. The extra drive is just for back-ups ect.

Thanks

You can try, but it will not be supported by HP> Also, the IDE controller has a higher boot priority than SCSI, so you would have to have the OS installed on the IDE drive.

I've done it by putting the hard drive (IDE) where the tape device would have been. However I din't have any SCSI drives when I did it. Now I've added a RAID card but can't get it to recognise the SCSI disks. They may not be related so I'd be interested in how your's turns out.
