Hello You cannot switch to using the chipset SATA controller by simply enabling it. If you were previously using an H310 then the backplane is connected to the H310. The backplane needs to be connected to the SAS/SATA connector on the system board for the chipset controller to see the drives. Also, the chipset only supports SATA. SAS drives will not work if the SAS backplane is connected to the system board. We have a SATA backplane for the configuration you are attempting. If your system was ordered with a PERC then it has the SAS backplane. SAS is backwards compatible with SATA, so I don't see a reason why the SAS backplane would not work. It would not be a supported configuration though. Thanks
Hi, I would like to use AHCI for a specific m620 blade, however although I select ahci from bios and disable the integrated controller (h310) drives are not detected by the server. Is there another part that would go in the raid slot to have ahci ?I could not find anything else but H310 H710 H710P so I am wondering how is SATA AHCI possible?
