Hi all,
I have a R415 with a H200 in the PCI-e slot. I need to remove this to make way for another expansion card, so need to find a solution to the hard drive connection issue this leaves.
We are using a SAN so the host Server has a simple 2 drives in RAID 1 configuration.
So far i can see that i have 2 options:
1) Connect the hard drives to the onboard SATA connectors, but this would involve replacing the Backplane and i assume therefore replacing the data and power cables.
2) Using the integrated SAS module by adding an compatible SAS 6/IR, S300 card, allowing use of the existing backplane and cabling.
Has anyone got a recommendation on either option?
OS is Server 2012 R2 which i believe rules out the S300 if i've read correctly...
Cheers!
