hello all
i recently bought a poweredge 1950 1u from ebay
spec :
2x xeon 5140 @ 2.33 ghz
4gb of ram
a drac card
and a perc 5i sas raid card
the server came with no hdds or cables so i bought the cables and two 146.8 gb hitachi ultrastar sas hdds £32.00 for the pair i then booted the server to find that the raid card was not detecting any of the hdds so i used my tech background and started pulling them out swapping them round ect to no avail so i said must be dead raid card as i was getting e1810 hdd 1 and 0 fault so i bought another raid card and still same errors but now when i go to configure the controller i just get error unknown i have even got a bootable copy of ubuntu server that i have tried finding the hdds on but still cannot access them
HELP ME PLEASE
Thanks Callum
