Install HDD PowerEdge R415

Hello!

I recently bought a Dell PowerEdge R415 with the following specifications:
AMD Opteron 4180 - 2, 6 GHz / 6.4 Gbit / s (top Six)
8 GB DDR3 ECC RAM
AMD SR5670 and SP5100 chipset
PERC H700 Raid Controller
iDrac 6 Express & Enterprise
R2 Windows Server 2012
Kingston 128 GB SSD

Now, here's my problem:

I initially intended to use as a storage partition 2 x Seagate Barracuda 3 to hard disks in RAID 1, but while windows detects their size it is partition 2 TB on them. I thought pole H700 would be able to use 3 TB disks. I was wrong? And also on Dells site it indicates the maximum capacity of PowerEdge R415s is 8 TB is true, or you can run 4 x 3 TB drives in there?

PERC H700 can use drives of capacity greater than 2 TB. R415 maximum capacity is 8 TB + (the only reason it lists 8TB is because that was the maximum based on the largest drives Dell tested/validated at time of writing you found). Current data sheet shows 12 to:

http://www.Dell.com/downloads/global/products/pedge/spc_r415_new.PDF

The problem that you run is with the operating system:

  • Windows cannot use a more 2 TB drive unless it has been converted to GPT.
  • Windows cannot start on a GPT disk, except if it is installed on a UEFI system.

So, you can either 'slice' the RAID by creating several bays on the disks, with less than 2 TB 'disc' boot, or you must enable UEFI and reinstall the OS in this mode (conversion of GPT is data destructive).

  • Question of 2012 R2 install Poweredge R415

    I have my SAS drives in a RAID 5 (PERC S300, Poweredge R415) matrix and also appear online. When I go through the lifecycle to deploy Server R2 2012 he does not see the drive to install the operating system to. I tried to load the driver retrieved through the USB port, but it happens to say that there is no available signed drvier. Can you tell me to fix the driver should I use?

    Rah33,

    Unfortunately the S100 and S300 raid controllers do not have support for Microsoft Windows Server 2012 and there is currently no plan to support these controllers with Microsoft Windows Server 2012 in the future. If you use the S300 controllers, you must either get the controller hardware raid (h700), or you would need to follow this procedure to continue.

    • Open the server and remove cables internal SATA connected to the S300 controller and connect it to the embedded SATA controller of the server ports.
    • Power on the server and press F2 to enter the BIOS settings.
    • Enter the--> SATA settings BIOS setup and change it to ATA or ACHI mode depending on what is available. See Figure-1.
    • Save and exit the installation program.
    • Boot from the DVD Microsoft Windows Server 2012 and proceed with the installation
    • You can learn more about this here.

      I hope this helps to answer your question, even though this is probably not the answer you wanted to hear.

  • Re: How to install HDD on Satellite L300-19Y?

    Hi guys

    I'm not too good with computers but have bought a new HARD drive for my L-series I've been informed that my HARD drive is maybe broken due to errors when I perform chkdsk checks and the fact that it freezes and crashes randomly.

    In any case, could someone tell me how to install the HARD drive? I bought an another similar to the original hitachi in the laptop, that is to say sata, 2.5 ", but got a 250 GB, rather than the 160. What I have to install anything, or have complicated everything to do? I don't know how to install it physically just don't know if I have to use my discs of recovery or something like that?

    Bravo guys

    Hello

    There is no difficult things to do to swap the HARD drive. Which is a fairly simple process and he s done in 5 minutes I think.

    I have the Satellite L300 in front of me. To swap the HARD drive, turn off the laptop and remove the battery and the AC adapter. On the underside, you can find the cover of the HARD drive which is fixed by 2 screws. Remove the screws and the cover of the HARD drive, you are now able to exchange the HARD drive.

    If you have any other questions, please let me know! :)

    Oly_R,

    The adapter you need is the LSI 2032. As long as found on page 9 of the R415 technical guide - http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/misc/r415_tech_guide_11_18_10_final.pdf

  • Satellite U400-12F: LED power button & HDD protector tool does not work

    Hello

    I have a Satellite U400-12F and I bought a Vista Ultimate.
    After you have installed all the drivers and Toshiba of the corect order downloads, the button to turn on the power lights does not work.

    And I tried to install HDD protection Utility but the installer returned an error like 'cannot be installed on this model.
    Do you know why these problems?

    Thank you very much
    concerning
    Daniel

    > After installing all the drivers and software of Toshiba by order, the button to turn on the power switch lights does not work.
    Please check the BIOS settings. As I m not wrong not it takes an option called LED illumination or something like that. There you can turn on and off.
    Also, try to customize the special button of TOSHIBA using the Toshiba control utility.
    There are also some useful options.
    But to be honest I n not know exactly if this button doesn't work with Win XP. Maybe this feature is not available in XP.

    > I tried to install HDD protection Utility but the installer returned an error like 'cannot be installed on this model.
    This error message appears if you try to install a tool that was not designed for this series of laptop.
    The U400-12F seems to belong to the PSU40E. Check if it s a good tool.

  • Help, please! I need help installing own window 8 with LEGACY BOOT OFF

Then I had to install windows 8 UEFI Legacy BOOT SUPPORT market. When all install them, I turn OFF LEGACY SUPPORT, my computer running INACCESSABLE_BOOT_DEVICE error.

    Experts please help.

    With Legacy BOOT SUPPORT works, my computer so slow startup and there are too many startup steps taken in place.

    Thank you!

    1: install Windows own 8 UEFI

    2: SECURE BOOT: WE

    3: THE LEGACY SUPPORTED STARTING: OFF

    Dear KNRK!

    I'm so happy. Everything seems to be in trouble, so I have to use the legacy on support. I installed the windows 8 install any update, and then upgrade to windows 8.1. The first initialization of the windows 8.1 installation, I go into the BIOS, then choose restore default.

    Like a charm, everything's fine. Now he worked on Legacy support OFF and Secure Boot on.

    BTW, I'm sharing my EXPERIENCE on installing windows 8 with UEFI.

    1. create UEFI USB BOOTABLE WITH RUFUS

    2. IF can detect the drive HARD or SSD IN WINDOWS SETUP is FINE

    If 2 is not available

    Go to 3

    3. TURN ON LEGACY SUPPORT

    3A - CREATE UEFI-BOOTABLE USB WITH RUFUS USNG MBR SYSTEM FOR BIOS

    4-USE TROUBLESHOOT - COMMAND PROMT

    5. CLEAN THE OS INSTALLED HDD

    7-ACTIVE

    8 - RESTART

    9-HDD DETECTED

    10 INSTALL

    SOLUTION - REMOVE ALL HARD DRIVE - JUST LEAVE THE OS INSTALLED HARD DRIVE

    AFTER FINISH INSTALLATION - REINSERT THE OTHER HARD DRIVE.

    TO OBTAIN AGAIN A MISTAKE.

    SOLUTION - CLEAN HDD VIA USB BOTABLE WITH MBR SCHEME FOR UEFI

    CONVERT HDD OS INSTALLED TPG, ACTIVE

    THEN AGAIN CREATE USB BOOTABLE WITH TPG TO UEFI SYSTEM

    EVERYTHING'S OK. BUT LEGACY SUPPORT MUST BE ON.

    INSTALL ALL OF THE UPDATE, INSTEAD OF UPGRADING TO WINDOWS 8.1

    IN THE FIRST REBOOT, GO TO BIOS THEN RESTORE THE DEFAULT SETTINGS.

    EVERYTHING'S FINE.

    GOOD LUCK, EVERYBODY

  • HP envy 17-1050ep: drivers to install windows 7

    Hello

    I'd be happy if someone is able to help me.

    The thing is that my envy 17 1050ep, pn wp002ea #ab9 works fine with original Win 7 home premium x 64 operating system, but as I need to add to a domain I m trying to install win 7 pro/business or ultimate x 64 but the hard drive is never detected when I try to install it.

    BIOS installed is the most recent of the hp Web site.

    Inside bios's do not present any possibility to change all sata driver it s very limited.

    Tried to download and install Intel® chipsets 5 and Intel® 3400 Series Chipset, doesn´t question of working persist.

    With the original installed OS Win 7 home premium installation sw access, file copy of drivers, tried to install the drivers, mainly the fast storage intel, problem persist undetected hard disk.

    Doesn´t disc tested have all work fine with original operating system error.

    Put to the test a new hard drive, the same question.

    Card chipset is intel hm 55.

    Drivers HP Support available on the work of Don t for the hp site.

    HP Support just say device is out of warranty and can´t support.

    Intel supports just say:

    Hello

    Thank you for your interest in Paul, but I ve has already solved the issue not by common sense, but in another way, not correct mash but the goal has been reached it works!

    I ve removed the hard drive, insert on a dv6-2190ep product number WK631EA with the Northbridge Chipset Intel PM55 (discrete models)
    and Southbridge: Intel ICH9M http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01860375.pdf it here are the specifications of the device.

    Then do a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 x on this hdd unit is recognized and doesn´t need to install a driver.

    After completing the clean install, hdd removed, insert it on Envy 17-1050ep and here... hard drive detected new device drivers installed automatically
    and everything works fine!

    Now the I ve just do updates of device and operating system.

    It s too bad that either technical supports Intel, HP, Microsoft, Don t know explain or say that drivers must be installed or what settings it should
    in order to install the editions of windows that allow to add the unit to a domain.

    Rather technical supports are trying to sell us things, how they want to sell if they don t know accompany customers when they need? Although I m out of warranty I ve never
    used technical support and I ve just do a simple question that no one can and know the answer and on a subject that must be broadcast on the drivers and support page!

    If the drivers and instructions are displayed clear and with the right i´ll drivers just to go and Don t bother nobody.

    So, if any customer need help to install the OS here is a workaround because technical supports Don t know the problems.

    If a need for help, it will be a pleasure to help.

    Have a nice work!

  • Volume under license of Windows 7 Enterprise Edition new install hangs at disk.sys

    Original title: installation of new Windows 7 hangs at disk.sys

    We have conducted our mail, ftp and video servers on XP because we expected a software upgrade for our video server, so that we can install Windows 7. The MB is a Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H Revision 1.0. Last week, I took the server down to do the installation of Windows 7 Enterprise. Using the ISO downloaded from our Volume Licensing account I burned onto a dvd it and booted from it.

    The system should start and begin installing Windows. The files would load and the screen change to . Then nothing. I fought with him for two days and I tried a thousand (Finally, much) "solutions, I found online, but nothing has worked.

    I cloned the drive that contains the system partition - formatted system partition (to record the logical drives on the other partitions) - and tried to install on the empty system partition. Same failure. I allowed the system to boot from the hard drive to the existing installation of XP and it worked normally (it's how I could get away with spending so much time on this: I could put the machine into service between tests).

    I took the drive cloned out of the machine and bread-boarded it with a new motherboard (different mfg/etc) and the monitor. I also moved the DVD player, I used during the installation of the system has failed.

    I started the machine, started on the burned dvd, and Windows 7 is installed perfectly. I have not installed all the drivers disk from the MB manufacturer.

    Go to research on the web it is clear that it is not yet near a problem isolated - I found pages and pages of the report and a variety of approaches to fix - it would take a lifetime to try them all.

  • XPS 8700 - installed new SSD but still the HARD drive boots

    I just installed a Samsung 840 Pro in one of my 8700's. I used the software of Samsung cloning and cloning has been a success, as far as I know.

    Then, I changed the cables between the factory-installed HDD and SSD so that the SSD is now connected to the lower SATA port.

    After I stopped and turned on, this thing is always the start of the original HDD and I cannot understand exactly how to change what must be changed, so it starts on the SSD.

    The original HARD drive still appears as the 'C' drive while the SSD has a drive letter of the 'P '. AHCI is selected in the installer and I couldn't see all the other parameters that would load the PC to boot from SSD.

    I just need to change the drive letters? What I'm missing here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks again, but this has been SOLVED!

    It seems that the only and only a step that I had to do was unplug the original HARD disk.

    After that I disconnected the drive HARD original, the computer booted from the SSD without problem.

    I hope this will help someone facing the same problem in the future.
