• Driver problem: Windows Server 2008 R2 on server T110 II with PERC S300 (RAID10)

  I have the Dell PowerEdge T110 II server with PERC S300 RAID card.  I installed 4 hard drives & them set on RAID10 in initial configuration.  The card mother recognizes the PCI-E card, which in turn recognizes readers.

  I pop in the Windows Server 2008 R2 DVD and I start from DVD, but when I get to the part where I have to choose a file location, it appears that he is not a player available.  There is another option to add a driver.  Then I went on the site ( http://tinyurl.com/PercS300driver) downloaded appropriate driver, added to USB & when I get to this screen, I'm trying to add the driver.  However, he said "there is no signed in this folder drivers."

  Does anyone know what I might be missing?

  You are using the wrong driver.  The one you linked to says it's for Server 2008 x 86.  As 2008 R2 64-bit only, there is no way it will work.  Use this driver for 2008 R2 (you must change the drop down menu on site driver downloads / to the correct operating system):

  Be sure to run first to extract it, and then put the contents extracted on your CD/DVD/USB for use with the link to load a driver.

• HP Pavilion dv6000 Hard Drive Upgrade Question

  I have a HP Pavilion dv6500 entertainment computer laptop, processor Intel centrino duo and 2 GB Ram under Vista. The original 160 HD SATA Gbt completes and slow and I want to upgrade to a new HD. I think I have a Seagate 1 TB 2.5 inch notebook computer Solid State Hybrid Drive. Will be of this form and it works without any problem on this laptop? What is a recommended option?

  Hi @Chris_8318,

  Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

  I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion dv6500 Entertainment of CTO Notebook and concerns with the installation of a hard drive again. If you keep the new larger than your original SSD and it supports Sata 5400 RPM 9.5 mm, 2.5-inch hard drives, you'll have no problems.

  Here is a link to your manual page 23 for specifications.

  Please let me know how it goes.

  Thank you.

• Pavilion 15 t-n200 CTO: memory/hard drive upgrade question

  Hi demand an upgrade memory or hard drive.

  System:

  Pavilion 15 t-n200 CTO

  model: E9Z19AV

  Intel core i3-4005u 1.70 ghz

  4 GB mem

  64 bit

  Fact check on memory sytem and it says:

  1600 mhz DDR3

  Seen a refrence on another site that said for 4th gen proc to use DDR3L... so don't know which one to use.

  Hard drive:

  I was wondering if this unit can use an SSD?

  Thanks for your comments

  Hello

  The link below is the manual of your device

  http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c04438537

  Supports up to 12 GB of memory system max (module DDR3L 1600 MHz), (Page 2)

  For hard disks according to the manuals, I don't see that it supports standalone SSD.

• Portege M400 HDD - password and drive upgrade questions

  1. How can I change the hard drive password? the Toshiba utilities allow me to change the password of the BIOS but not the hard drive password

  2. If a secondary hard drive is mounted, it is possible to run the DVD writer as an external Bay? y at - it a connector / converter available?

  3. If Toshiba RAID mirroring is enabled, this speed of disk read time? for example reading speeds could theoretically be doubled by interlacing readings on the two disks - what is the difference of real world performance?

  4. are there restrictions on the internal hard drive?
  I bought a new hard drive from Toshiba (MK1234GSX / 120 GB) and mounted in secondary drive Bay, it works, I cloned the existing overall hard drive and it is even possible to boot from the secondary drive and see both drives.
  However if I replace the internal drive with the new drive, I can see the drives in the bios, but blue-screens of windows at startup: error seems to be that windows does not find the disk...

  When I add the original disk to the secondary drive Bay and start since I also can't get windows to recognize the new drive.
  This doesn't seem to be a simple problem of windows, because windows is happy to start on the new drive in the high Bay, so I ask if there is some restrictions at the end of Windows...

  5 Why have saved my Portege M400 website it says: "sorry, but this product is not available in your region."

  Thanks for any advice,
  Jonathan

  1.) as far as I know the HARD drive password can be changed in the BIOS
  But beware, if you forget or type the HARD drive HARD drive password will be locked and you will not be able to access the HARD disk. In this case, the HD is not more usable.

  (2.) the Ultra Slim bay is a single drive bay that welcomes the reader of CD/DVD or a secondary HARD disk.
  The extension utility from Toshiba Mobile allows the insertion of hot of these modules.
  I found this info in the user manual and following modules can be installed in the Bay ultra slim:
  -Ultra Slim adapter HARD drive Bay: this will allow you to install a HARD drive in option
  -Kit ultra Slim bay DVD-ROM drive or DVD super multi drive kit
  -Disk (SATA) HARD drive kit
  The adapters you will need to order of the ASP

  (3.) I did not notice any differences in speed reading while the RAID has been enabled or disabled. (I used the Qosmio G20 with RAID)

  4.) Please check the manual for compatible HARD drive sizes!

  5.) maybe the M400 is not available in your country or region. But it s only my suggestion

• HP Pavilion dv6 - 6119tx HARD drive upgrade question

  Hi all

  I have a HP Pavilion dv6 - 6119 notebook tx. I am facing a SMART hard disk error and I need to replace it with a new hard drive. It currently has a capacity of 640 GB 5400 RPM HDD Toshiba. All I want to know is can I replace it with a 1 TB hard drive, 7200 RPM (with SATA 6.0 GB/s)? May be I have to 5400 RPM (with SATA 3.0 Gbit/s)?

  Hi kiranmanju

  After some reading on this subject, I think I'll go with MistaB.

  SSDS and hard drives are treated in the same way by the operating system, and they are easily interchangeable. So no, you shouldn't have any problems during the installation of a faster 7200 RPM drive to replace your current drive to 5400 RPM.

  There are only a few things you need to know when buying a compatible disc:
  (A) interface: the vast majority of readers is SATA, and it is what you need
  (B) 2.5 "or 3.5": the first is for laptops, the latter is for desktop computers
  (C) drive height: most of the hard drives 2.5 "are 9.5 mm, and it's what fits most laptops. Some high-capacity drives are 12.5 mm

  Other than that, the rest of the variables are related to performance.

  but I can't guarantee anything of it now. I don't really know why then the user's Guide for your product just omitted part of 7200 RPM if they do not harm anyway. I recommend that contact HP technical support for more details.

  Thank you

• HP Pavilion DV6235 (US): HP Pavilion DV6235 (US) hard drive upgrade Question...

  
  

  Should not a problem. You need to do some kind of recovery or backup support to put the software on the new drive, but if not just physically put in the place where the old hard disk, boot and install your software for it.

  Looks like a lot of investment in very old hardware. Still, it should make it faster.

• How to disable integrated PERC S300 controllers and connect hard drives directly onboard SATA

  Hello

  I bought new servers, two of them came with PERC S300 controllers. When I tried to install Linux (CentOS) on this subject, the system could not see the RAID!

  After some research, I noticed that it is Windows specific (fake RAID)

  I want to disable this controller and connect my hard drives directly to the main card SATA connectors and implement a software RAID under Linux.

  What I need is:

  What cables I need to order for this?

  Thank you

  When I picked my servers and decided on their specifications, this note (red) was not on the site, and I am sure about that because I have not all Windows servers on my network.

  Now that I ordered and received them, I'm looking for a solution.

  I ordered this kit: Dell PowerEdge HDD DATA CABLE KIT DP/N C450M CN-0C450M

  

  I will receive next week. I hope that this will help me get around this annoying problem.

• SSD compatibility w/PERC S300 RAID?

  We have an old PE T110 first generation with a PERC S300 RAID controller and 4x250GB drives. However, because the controller is older, there isn't much documentation about SSD compatibility. Does anyone at - he had success the upgrade of any server/workstation using a PERC S300 with an SSD of any kind in a RAID 10 configuration?

  Finally, I don't remember what type of connector is on the existing disks and am a little confused about the difference between SATA and SAS. What normally comes stock with this system and which would need if I moved to SSD? New cables? Anything else I need to know?

  htc2010

  is it not reasonable to assume I could just as easily swap on each drive in the Bay, one at a time, with a SSD?

  You cannot mix SAS and SATA drives in the same array. Also, you cannot mix HDD and SSD. If SSD does not support the S300, then he cannot know the difference between a SATA SSD and a SATA HDD, so it can work, but 1) I wouldn't rely on it and 2) just know that real RAID controllers, it can be done.

  In the end, I don't know if she will achieve your goals. The reason why I asked is because you could just add the SSD as a new VD, then move the files of database, etc. on to improve the speed, but it sounds like a lot of work for little return. I just invest in a backup recovery solution, good. If it can work in a virtual environment?

• Power edge R310 PERC S300 firmware update

  Hello world.

  I have 3 PowerEdge R310 operating with 3 HARD drive / RAID5 on PERC S300.
  If I try the PERC firmware update (SAS - RAID_Firmware_RPCKX_WN32_2.0.0 - 016600193000_A06), while the server is offline, the RAID and SO restarted intact?

  I apreciate your responses.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  TavoGA

  If I try the PERC firmware update (SAS - RAID_Firmware_RPCKX_WN32_2.0.0 - 016600193000_A06), while the server is offline, the RAID and SO restarted intact?

  Yes, your RAID and BONES must be intact after the upgrade. The firmware update will not take effect until after you restart the system. The system must be restarted after you apply the update. It is advisable to always have a valid backup tested before making any hardware/software changes on a production system.

  Thank you

• The PERC S300 controller replacement

  I want to upgrade a server PowerEdge R310 Windows Server 2008 R2 to R2 2012. Unfortunately the PERC S300 is not supported and I could not find the necessary drivers.

  I found that PERC H700 has the correct drivers and is compatible with the R310, can anyone confirm that please?

  Are there cheaper alternatives? Otherwise, I think I have to disconnect the PERC controller and connect the drives to the internal SATA ports, but then I have 4 independent drives with no RAID either because the PERC S100 embedded is not as well supported... (is there a SW raid solution?)

  Thank you

  The H700 is a controller that is supported on the R310, but you must do a clean install or backup/restore.

  The H310 is also supported by the R310.  It is a hardware RAID controller low end and would also require a reinstall/restore.

  The S100 can handle a direct migration of the S300 disc, but when you read, it is not supported in 2012 either.

  You can move the disks to the SATA onboard and get rid of the S300, but there was also a clean installation/restore.  If you did the onboard SATA (in AHCI/no RAID), there was no RAID managed by the system, but you can configure RAID under Windows, which would provide at least some redundancy.  Performance is not worse than the S series controllers.

  My advice?  Never skimp on storage, no matter what it is used for.  Always get the top of the page (H7x0) controller when you configure a server.

• Satellite A40-151 Possible HARD drive upgrade

  Hello

  are there restrictions on the type of hard drive that you can on this model?

  RPM
  buffer
  Number of PINS
  Type of the ATA

  I was watching a Seagate Momentus 5400.3 ST980815A, if this helps answer the question.

  Concerning

  Lee

  Hello

  I found the info your device comes with 40 GB IDE (ATA - 5) HARD drive. I think in your case, to capacity. High-capacity hard drives are not recognized properly, but I think that with 60 or 80 GB HDD should perhaps be recognized correctly.

  If anyone on this forum can give you accurate information, I recommend you contact your local dealer or service in your country. They are experts upgrade material and they have accurate info on HARD drive upgrade.

  Good luck!

• PERC S300 and R2 2012

  Hi, I saw some documents last year which says that Dell does not intend to create a driver for use with the Perc S300 and R2 for Windows Server 2012. This situation is even position? If Yes, what is the best option for my brand new PowerEdge R210 II? I would rather use hardware RAID than software RAID on what happens to be a domain controller. The server has two installation disks in a RAID 1 array. Any help, suggestions and advice are welcome. Thank you!

• PERC S300 degraded, but all the players are fine and running

  PowerEdge T310 with 4 drive PERC S300.

  3 drives in RAID 5, this is defined as a spare

  RAID management (boot pre-W2K8) PERC S300 reporting "Degraded(R/W)."

  All the three RAID drives are reporting "online".

  The spare wheel reports 'spare '.

  Green lights on all four physical disks in the Bay.

  Is this a software problem? Firmware?

  Suggestions of help appreciated!

  Best,

  James

  Hello James

  I suggest you check the OpenManage Server Administrator alert logs. There is probably an error that tells you what the problem is. Also, the S100/S300 does not remove status of spare of a drive when it is used in a table. I would like to remove the hot spare to check if it shows a different status. He should go to the ready state.

  If you find an error with one of the disks in the alert log drive should probably be replaced. I also recommend that you make sure that the firmware, driver, and OMSA S300 are all up to date.

  Thank you
