Hi, I'm trying to install the following 2tb hard drive in my old ML310 G5 server to help upgrade it and get more life from it.
It's the HP MB2000FAMYV 2TB 7.2K SAS 3.5" drive which has an additional Seagate ref ST32000444SS.
I've installed the P400 card and changed the cable from the HD cage to the one that came with the P400 card. The card is recognized no problem when the machine boots but the drive is not. The bios shows the prompt initializing for several seconds and then the hard drive green led flashes for a sec and then an amber LED stays permanently on and the Bios reports no hard drive found and moves on.
According to the specs for the P400 card this hard drive is supported but the quickspecs for the ML310 G5 doesn't list the drive.
What could be the problem? The drive was taken from a working server, decommissioned, so should be good.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards
Phil
