You need to set it up on a Compaq system, then move it to the non-Compaq
system to make it work. Dan French "pkyiu" wrote in message om...

1. Get a Compaq system (any *working* system that will support the
controller.) 2. Install the drives as you would to the Compaq system (on the RAID card) 3. Use Smart Start to configure the controller. 4. Move the controller to the non-Compaq system. I've done it, and works great. Dan French "pkyiu" wrote in message news:3fc15c0c@shknews01... Can you explain with details? "Dan" . spamcop.net ¦b¶l¥ó ¤¤¼¶¼g...

Hi Dan,
Thank you so much for your helpful information, do you mind if telling me the following: (1) Which model of Proliant, I suppose, did you use to config the card? (2) Does the pci-x slot position/number cause problem while you swap from compaq to non-compaq machine? (3) Are you running on the same Asus PP-DLW i7505 main board as I do? (4) What if I change the harddisk configuration afterwards, do I need to setup again on compaq machines? Sorry for my lots of questions, but it's great to have you sharing this experience with newbies(on Compaq staff) like me. Thank you very much! "Dan" . spamcop.net ¦b¶l¥ó ¤¤¼¶¼g... 1.

Hi Dan,
forgot to ask one more thing, how does those LEDs on 5312 behave if the card's running ok? My card shows the following: (1)The GAS PEDAL led CR501 remains green; (2)The DRIVE FAILURE led CR507 remains orange; (3)The DIAGS MODE led CR508 remains orange But the card shows "Slot1 HP Smart Array 5312 initializing..._" which stays about 5 mins, a bit too long?!, before booting into other devices, is its hardware ok? Thanks you so much! "pkyiu" ¦b¶l¥ó news:3fc22bf0$1@shknews01 ¤¤¼¶¼g...

Hi Dan, Thank you so much for your helpful information, do you mind if telling me the following: (1) Which model of Proliant, I suppose, did you use to config the card? I don't recall the exact server, but any that will take smartstart will work. (2) Does the pci-x slot position/number cause problem while you swap from compaq to non-compaq machine? No, that is a configuration of the SERVER, not the CARD. You are concerned with configuring the card. (3) Are you running on the same Asus PP-DLW i7505 main board as I do? No (4) What if I change the harddisk configuration afterwards, do I need to setup again on compaq machines? Yes. Anytime that you "would" use smartstart (changing the number of drives, drive size, cache size, etc -- configuration that is stored on the card) you'll have to put it in a Compaq system to make the change the configuration. Sorry for my lots of questions, but it's great to have you sharing this experience with newbies(on Compaq staff) like me. Thank you very much! |

Also -- has the unit been configured?
