Good day!
I am a hobbyist trying to make some hardware I have work, not sure what I am doing wrong at this point.
I have a “HP Proliant DL380 G6” configured for Windows 2k8 R2
It has 1TB in storage on 6 2.5 SAS drives. (internal)
I recently purchased the following 2 items.
1 – “HP 24 Port PCI-E 3Gb SAS Standard Profile Expander Raid Card 487738-001 + 4XCord” (AKA 468406-B21 ??)
Ebay Auction 161696131154
2 – “4U Supermicro Superchassis SC846E1-R900B 24 Bay SAS SATA Chassis JBOD Server”
Ebay Auction 131931786169
- I have installed the card, into the server, and to my knowledge, Windows 2008 is not detecting it.
- I am not sure I have even installed it correctly.
- I have 3 cables connected from the Card to the JBOD
- 1 SATA 3 TB inside the JBOD case.
Basically, my end game would be to have the Proliant Server connected to the JBOD case and be able to have 24 2-3TB hard drives each.
If I had to buy a new controller card, it wouldn’t be the end of the world.
Can anyone help me?
