Don't forgewt on cable scsi, the id jumper needs to be set. The 1st disk in normally set to id0. There should be a jumper layout on the drive label. If not download the data sheet from the makers site.
Hello, Here is a summary of the issue: I have a PowerEdge 700 server with a PERC 4/SC SCSI RAID adapter (J4588). If more than one hard disk drive is attached, the adapter will not function correctly. If I can even enter the configuration utility (Ctrl + M), it frequently freezes or locks up when I try to view information about the physical drives. If only a single HDD is attached, the configuration utility is responsive and the status of the attached drive is displayed as OK/ready.. More details:  Recently, the server failed to boot with an error about a failed logical drive. Upon accessing the RAID configuration screen, I saw that two of the three HDDs in the RAID-5 had failed. I ordered three new drives, but found the controller would not recognize the drives if all three were connected at the same time. So I ordered a new controller (same model). Unfortunately, this new controller is behaving similar to the first. I will appreciate any suggestions on where to go from here. What else can I troubleshoot?
