PowerEdge 2900 on board sata ports

I have a PowerEdge 2900 server and would like to put in a single spare 2 TB SATA for additional storage (non-critical).  The motherboard has two onboard SATA, A & B ports.  When I try to connect the drive onboard SATA ports, the BIOS does not detect anything, and when I change the type 'Auto', save the settings and restart settings are not stored in the BIOS.

I don't know if the SATA motherboard ports supports hard drives, or if there is other reason things do not work.  I tried different cables and tried the drive in another computer, and everything works fine in another computer.  Plan to put in some additional SAS drives in the drive box, I'm looking for an intermediate solution.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you
Josh

I've seen this same problem and fixed it. He must go to "Shipped" in the bios and enable "Onboard Sata".

  • SSD Raid 1 on the PowerEdge 100 motherboard Sata ports

    Hello

    I have a PowerEdge T100 with a Raid 1 SAS. I want to upgrade the server with 2 SSD connected to the Sata ports directly on the motherboard. They would Raid 1.

    Do you know if this is possible with the T100 PE?

    Hello

    I can't say with certainty. It is theoretically possible, but here are some things to consider:

    1. I show that we validated a SSD for the T100
    2. I do not show that the T100 is supported by the AHCI. Better SSDS feature with AHCI
    3. Although the ICH9R chipset is capable of RAID I do not show that it is a feature of the version installed in the T100 system map. You will need to run the RAID software within the operating system if you want a RAID array.

    Another thing to note is that the SATA ports are locked when a RAID SAS controller is present. Some of the ports are unavailable if this controller is present in the system.

  • Can I use the SATA port connected to an optical drive to plug in a hard drive?

    I have a Pavilion e9270t desktop, Win7 Pro SP1, and I want to connect 3 HARD drive to the motherboard. Can I do this? Can I use the SATA port connected to an optical drive to plug in a hard drive?

    Thanks, CHemming

    CHemming,

    I've not seen UEIF support in the existing BIOS.

    If your demand on a 3T led, re - consider a maximum of 2 T.

    If you ask to have 3 hard disks, then you can do it without harassing the present cable of CD.

    The cage of your system hard disk will support 3 hard disks. Manual upgrade service

    All you need are the SATA data and power cables. Your Board has 4 SATA data ports.

    When you report back after inspecting your system for SATA power cables, I will move the cables and adapters, if necessary.

  • PowerEdge 2900 switchable hot

    I have a Dell PowerEdge 2900 running windows Small Business SERVER 2003, we will be taken out of service soon, but we just had a departure by car to go bad - seeing yellow flashes and error on LCD server message: 'E1 H10 HDD1 fault.'   daily backups and weekly regular running properly because of corruption, then I copied the table as a security measure.  I bought a new drive identical to the 4 existing disks that are configured as Raid 1.

    The drive is a:
    341-4430 750 GB 7.2 K rpm Universal SATA 3Gbps 3.5-inch hard drive

    The raid controller is:
    341-5754 1 SAS/SATA embedded RAID 1, PERC 6 / i integrated/SAS6/iR

    Can I leave the server running and pull the wrong drive and drag the new, without running applications before or after this procedure, and will be automatically rebuild the raid?

    I know that I need to replace the server.  But my immediate need is to solve the problem of bad disc, and I'd appreciate any advice or a link to the instructions in this procedure.

    We are a small non-profit and have none of the staff and no budget assistance, or I would have called in help.

    It is a Dell application that will interface directly with the hardware. It must be installed on any Dell server that you manage. On the downloads page, it is called OpenManage Server Administrator - Managed Node, use the 32-bit version.

    This model motherboard has two SATA ports. I am looking for options to enable them. According to the HP download site, I use the latest version of the BIOS. The ports there just for decoration, or are they useful?

    SeattleSam.

    Many sleepless nights is early and extensive reading. You can not have both Sata and IDE controllers active.

    (1) ATTENTION: This Board only supports the Sata150. You must provide a rider and the value of the player Sata150.

    This means that you must purchase a Sata150 and Sata300 drive (with a rider).

    (2) you must use the IDE emulation

  • PowerEdge 2900 Perc 6 / i internal Raid Controller

    OK, so I use a server Dell PowerEdge 2900 with a PERC 6 / i integrated RAID controller

    I have configured the RAID array very well, installed Windows 2008 R2 and works fine and dandy

    The only problem I encounter is that, when starting the server (Post), I get a message on the cable SAS B are not connected or misconfigured.  The bottom of the basket on my server, which goes to the internal drives, has only a port where I can plug a cable between the Perc 6 / i.  Where is the 2nd wire supposed to go?  I can't find the second port.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I get a message on the cable SAS B are not connected or misconfigured.  The bottom of the basket on my server, which goes to the internal drives, has only a port where I can plug a cable between the Perc 6 / i.  Where is the 2nd wire supposed to go?  I can't find the second port.

    PERC connector 0 goes to the bottom of basket. Connector on the PERC 1 connects to the modular Bay. If you don't have the module Bay optional then you ensure that you use the 0 on the PERC and not the connector 1.

  • The PowerEdge 2900 server RAID

    Hello everyone and good day

    I have a PowerEdge 2900 which was erased and raid configured with 2 discs and ready for os install. However when you try to use the Server Wizard, I get an error that his stats can not detect readers or they are not initialized. I do all the raid configuration and should be ready. I took a peek in the bios of the main server and I do not see listed in the boot sequence raid controller. all I see is cd rom on b sata and hard drive. until the server has been annihilated the raid controller has been listed in the boot sequence menu. I changed a setting that I shouldn't have or I am missing a part of the process? No matter which lend a little and fix this? I would like to get the server operational return. the server has a perc 6i

    When I got is the server was running. However, he came from a health care facility and had to be wiped.

    I have it wiped myself just by going to the raid controller and removing the VFD and reconfiguring with new configuration.

    Please tell me that I don't have just the weight of the heavier paper in my office.

    You must configure AND initialize the virtual disk (table)... tick all the boxes advanced and Initialize during the creation of the VFD.

    You can also use a version of "server Wizard" (obsolete) that does not support the hardware in your server.

  • PowerEdge 2900 (and 2950) with PERC 5i - extend Raid 5

    Hello

    I have a Dell (PowerEdge 2900) server with a Raid PERC 5i (with BBWC) controller and 4 SATA drives installed (a virtual disk Raid 5, Windows 2008).

    Now I have an extra drive (same capacity, same speed) and installed on the server.

    I tried to expand the existing virtual disk (and the disk group) with the new physical disk drive in the BIOS of the controller and openmanage server administrator (managed node) running on windows.

    But it is not possible to do with this Raid Cntrl?

    Is there a way to do this without loss of data and maintenance of raid 5 redundancy?

    The same procedure I need to do on a PE2950 (PERC5i)

    Thank you and best regards,

    loop11

    What have you tried exactly, and what has happened or what have you seen?  You did not mention anything that leads me to believe that you tried this in the right place :)

    The PERC 5 / I can do without a doubt:

    With the disc, go to OMSA, PERC, case/bottom of basket, storage, physical disks and make sure your drive shows ready.

    If ready, go to the OMSA, storage, PERC, virtual disks, select Reconfigure in the drop down menu to your RAID 5, follow the wizard to add the disk.

    If the record shows the foreign, go to the OMSA, storage, PERC, Information/Configuration (link at the top of the page), click on foreign/clear in the dropdown menu, then follow the directions above.

  • PowerEdge 2900 III RAID 10?

    Hello

    I have a server PowerEdge 2900 III with SAS 6/iR integrated (Embedded) and SATAu with two bays of 4 HDD int each Bay.

    I would like to install 8 1 TB SATA HARD drive each and make a RAID 10 for all HDD 8 configuration in total, I will have a 4 TB storage.

    Is it possible to do so as PERC 6/iR has two separate connectors?

    Thank you

    AG

    First, it is important to know what controller you have.

    SAS 6/iR can RAID 0 and 1 (and JBOD).

    The PERC 6 / i can do what you are wanting.

    RAID can be configured through the connectors without any problem.

  • Added another HD to create an external symbol on my server PowerEdge 2900

    I have a PowerEdge 2900 server, I thought that there Raid 5, MS Server2003. It is running out of space. I bought a to-exchangeable 2 hot - 3.5 "LFF - SATA-600 - 7200 RPM. I intend to add it as an external physical drive. If it is feasible, should what I do. Help!

    Never turn off to introduce a hot-swap drive.  Just insert it.  After a few seconds it should show on your list of physical disks in the OMSA.  If the ready state, then you can set it up in a RAID (drop-down menu for PERC) array.  If the foreign State, then this foreign configuration must first be authorized (also in the controller menu).

    Hello again,

    Yes, the paper suggests so.
    But if you have just one hard drive that it doesn't matter at all.

    However, if you have several hard drives connected, you must use port 0 for training with the operating system installed on.
