I have a small problem that I didn't manage to resolve with my new Proliant DL380e G8.
When I press F5 to access the configuration utility, no hard disk appears.
The seller told me it's 652620-B21, but the product number written on the hard disk is 516810-003 (GPN: 516832-006).
Is the hard disk wrong ?
HP Dynamic Array Controller B120i (embedded on this server) does not support SAS hard drives. It only support SATA drives.
So, you should purchase SATA drives or a Smart Array controller (ex. p420) that support both, SAS and SATA.
Thanks, Vino, for such an insightful, enlightening answer!
You're system isn't able to recognize your SATA HDD.
nanax's DL380e isn't able to recognize SAS HDD's because the B120i Dynamic Array Controller embedded on the DL380e does not support SAS HDD's.
Please provide some system information (i.e., HP model number, RAID controller model number, etc).
