This server will support the SAS 6/ir, the Perc 6/i and the Perc H700 controllers; one of which you will need to run linux on this server. The SAS 6/ir is limited to RAID 0 and 1; the Perc's will run multiple RAID levels.   If you get the SAS 6/ir or Perc 6/i, you will need this cable: 69V70 Cable, PERC 6i/SAS 5/6i to 6G Backplane For the H700, you will also need this cable: N262J HDD Cable; PERC H200/H700 Card to B/P (Mini SAS to Mini SAS Regards
Hello all, Recently I bought a Dell R410 server with a PERC S100 raid controller, without researching before that. Problem is, that I need to install a Linux OS and as it seems, this controller doesn't support linux.I bought the following cables because I was in a hurry, but they also can't help in my situation:[IMAGE]Apparently, I don't have a slot where to plug the cables.. :)So my question is. Is there a solution to the problem? I tried disabling/removing the S100, but the MB doesn't detect the hard disks. The server is with a backplane. I actually found this thread in these forums -> [URL] but unfortunately, I could not find the cables posted in the thread.Here's an actual pic of the machine:[IMAGE]
