Hi Dell young e. I have fixed it it was a sas cable instead of sata they both fit but are not compatible 
Hi, I've got a dell poweredge sc440 and i want to install an sata hdd in the machine, however as soon as i did that it gave me an error that it cant find my hdd, My hdd works fine (tested with another pc) sata cables works fine too (I've connected a dvd rom with sata to it and it reads it just fine. I understand that this is a quite old pc but i want it to get it working again cuz it costed more than $1000 when it was new, here are the specs.   It has a intel xeon 3040 processor with 1.86 ghz 2gb of ram  500gb hgst test hdd installed currently.  It has Sas 5  mptbios-6 if that is important  it also gives the error code 12 and 123  and also says Mpt boot Rom. no supported devices found! Thanks in advance
dell poweredge sc440 not reading sata hdds or ssds, how do i configure it?
