Hi,

We boughta server"HPProLiantDL320e Gen8 V2" with 2hard drives.We also boughta card"DynamicHP Smart ArrayP222Controler(512MB, v6.00) 1logicaldrive"to make thesedrives in RAID-1. We currently have aproblem with theRAIDconfiguration.

- Before installing the card, the disks are working correctly, but after installing this RAID card, hard drives LEDs do not stop rotating (green), indicating a non-stop disk activity (see picture 1).

- In BIOS, the card is detected (see figure 2 below)

- But we can not activate it. It offers no submenu to set it to "Enable" (see figure 3 below).

- We thought that perhaps it might be necessary to update the firmware of the server and the controller board. When I put the firmware update using "Intelligent Provisioning", the latter returned directly to its start page without installing the firmware software it has downloaded. It does not propose to click on the "install" button (see figure 4 below)

For information,the software"IntelligentProvisioning" shows that the RAIDis installedand configured (see figure 5 bellow and attached).
