R720 can I connect drive sas/sata hard without controller card?

I have a r720 without raid card.  When I plug a ssd or disc of 15 k / 10 k sas on the hotswap backplane, chassis recognizes the drive is connected (I get an orange light and lcd to alert that the disc is removed when I go out).  However, the bios and the operating system does not recognize any disks hotswap (they see only the optical drive connected to the ports on the motherboard sata.

Do I need a controller card to use drives connected on the backplane, or is it possible to use backplane without controller card?  I didn't need raid functionality.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Shane

Do I need a controller card to use drives connected on the backplane, or is it possible to use backplane without controller card?  I didn't need raid functionality.

Yes, you must have a controller connected to the bottom of basket. If you have purchased the system without a RAID controller should have a SAS cable that goes from the backplane to the slot of controller S110 chipset on the system board.

You can use the S110 SATA controller on board for communication with backplane. Well, there are limits to the S110 controller, so may not suit your needs. You can probably buy LSI 9207 if you want readers to run in a non-RAID. The other options are a H710 PERC; which you can set the readers to the single drive RAID 0 s. In this State, they function as drives no RAID. You can also get a H310. The H310 supports the RAID mode, but we have added a few features to the H310 who do not find in previous versions of the card. In doing so, it reduced performance when operating in a mode non-RAID.

The reason why I say that you'll probably want another controller than the S110 is because you mentioned that you have SAS disks. The S110 is a single SATA controller. In addition, the S110 is supported up to 4 discs.

To access the BIOS RAID make sure the S110 is turned on in THE system BIOS. In the BIOS, go to SATA settings. In the menu choose the RAID mode. It will turn on the S110 controller. You can configure the drives in the BIOS S110 when booting with the CTL R. I do not know what operating system, you perform the installation, but the S110 is compatible with Windows.

Thank you

  • How to extract all the drives SAS/SATA and Ethernet port speed of the link command line?

    Hello

    Do you know if supports Windows OS built in order to extract all the SAS/SATA drives and ports Ethernet link speed?

    i.e. for SATA3 drive it show 6 Gbps, for DIS3 drive it will show 12 Gbps, to present the current link speed.

    i.e. for Ethernet 10 G, it will show 10 Gbit/s while the current connection speed is at 10 Gbps.

    I need the command to create a batch file to run bike test to check all connection speeds are correct in each cycle the system power runs, if the Windows operating system does not support built in order to achieve this, please send us any tool of 3rd - party with the support of the command line to do this.

  • Pavilion a6500f: can I add a second SATA hard drive to my HP Pavilion a6500f?

    I have a HP Pavilion a6500f running Windows 7 Home Premium.  I would like to add a second hard drive to 500 GB 7200 RPM to it as a slave drive.  Can I do this?  And if I can how do I know what size must have the hard drive?

    That your system is 8 years old, I suggest you these:

    (1) clone the old drive to a new drive, either 500 GB or 1 TB.  Use it as your new drive system.  Modern Sata 600 drives are 6 Gbps with 64 MB of cache memory. It will have better performance than older Sata 300 players with 32 MB cache / 3 GB/s.

    (2) your old-school, like the reader of the term 'slave' was a reference to the IDE/EIDE, cabling system.

    (3) all you need is a standard WD or Seagate 7200 RPM disk 3,5 '' hard. Both offer a free disk assistant program to facilitate the process of cloning.

  • Inspiron 530: drive external sata hard not automatically recognized.

    Hello
    I have an external sata Hitachi HD.
    It comes with a back plate for external sata connector.
    When I plug this HD anything happen on windows (Vista SP1), I need to go into the Device Manager and search for new devices.
    The HD appears, then it is mounted.
    But it should not work this way.

    On my old computer (Asus motherboard and windows XP SP2) this HD works just like any USB device:
    When I plug in the external Sata connector, it mounts instantly and removable devices icon will appear in the bottom right of windows.
    If I want to remove the HD I just need to click on this icon and select the HD.

    I would like to than this HD to work on my Dell, as it does on my old computer.
    Is it possible?

    Thank you for your help.

    It is a Compaq laptop but a Toshiba hard drive. So I look to donwload of Compaq or Toshiba drivers?

    Go to the Compaq support site.  http://www.Compaq.com/CPQ-country/cpq_support.html

    The hard drive is generally controlled by the motherboard chipset and if drivers "SATA" or "IDE" (newer models use SATA, laptops more old IDE drivers) in the list.

  • Can I CONNECT TIME CAPSULE to COMCAST without wireless/WiFi?

    Hello

    ...

    I know I'm out of my League here... But...

    I have a new Mac Pro... and I also connected to a router (modem) comcast wireless... I bought a time capsule from the airport. Are they compatible? Should I have them both?

    There must be several options, but I'm limited inskill!

    Thank you

    Richard

    I have a new Mac Pro... and I also connected to a router (modem) comcast wireless... I bought a time capsule from the airport. Are they compatible? Should I have them both?

    When you say that comcast I presume it is the router modem cable or fiber (DSL)?

    Anyway your TC is compatible...

    You need both... TC has no modem... If you must continue to run the Comcast modem and I would recommend that you do not touch... let it run like it's...

    Connect the WAN port on the TC in the Comcast router LAN port...

    Just to be clear, the answer to your title is no. a very solid no deeply upsetting. You cannot connect TC to Comcast wifi... you need to connect by ethernet... This is the one and only way... and you cannot disconnect the ethernet after connection... it should stay like this...

    If there is a problem, there are solutions... As adapters EOP or a second terminal airport. Tell us if you want this specific info.

    Open the airport on your Mac utility (or use iOS version is often more reliable) and configure the TC... It is almost entirely automatic... but if you are unsure, we can help you...

    You start the installation wizard by clicking on other WiFi devices (1) in the upper left corner.

    The installation wizard will cost essentially through the configuration.

    To do Time Machine backup make sure that you connect to the TC wireless not comcast gateway.

    There are other things... start with that and let us know how you go.

    How to troubleshoot problems that occur when you play a DVD in Windows XP

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/308012

    To prevent the illegal creation of digital copies of DVD, information on most of the DVDs are blurred. Your DVD decoder and Windows Media Player have software to copy protection that decodes the information on the DVD just before posting. If this software does not start successfully, you may receive this error. Remove the DVD in the DVD drive and then reinsert. This will force the copy protection software to reset.

    While the DVD is out the disk, make sure that your DVD is clean. If your DVD is scratched or dirty, the DVD player may not be able to read it correctly, and you may receive this error.

    If this does not work, try the following:

    one)

    If you have been able to play DVDs on your computer before and you receive this error message, you may be able to solve the problem by restarting your computer or Windows Media Player.

    (b)

    If you receive this error message the first time you try to play a DVD, you're not a DVD decoder installed, or your decoding software may need to be updated. In addition to your DVD - ROM drive and playback software, you must have a software or hardware decoder to play DVD decoders. devices and their drivers are available from third-party manufacturers. For more information on the software decoders, see decoder DVD plug-in. If you have a plu decoder installed, contact the manufacturer of the decoder to obtain an updated version that is compatible with the operating systems Microsoft Windows and Windows Media Player.
