Dell Poweredge 2300 / Raid
Shug
Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)
Hello,
I received an old Dell Poweredge 2300. I can't find anything about the
RAID management.
At boot time I can see 2 SCSI controlers :
adaptec 7890 with 3 devices
HDD 1
HDD 2
DELL 1x6 U2W SCSI BP
adaptec 7860 with 2 devices
CROM
DAT
It seems that the backplane is hotplug but I can find anything about
raid capabilities.
how to know ?
thanks for you answers

You will need to buy a RAID (PowerEdge RAID Controller or PERC, or some
other RAID controller - Adaptec, LSI Logic, etc). What you have now is
just an ultrawide SCSI controller - no RAID.

That server has an embedded array controller, but you need a RAID enabler
key and a cache DIMM (128M standard) installed to make it work.
Also, going into the setup, you can change the channel mode from SCSI to
RAID. Open your box, and have a look inside. If you see the tiny little PCB
and extra memory DIMM installed in the board, you are ready for raid. If
not, I have some I could sell you.
