![]() I would think the controller would boot with a bad or missing RAID battery, but throw warnings about this.ĭid I get a bad memory module and battery? RAID card lights are saying initializing array, and never change with the battery and memory module plugged in. Lights on the battery show SYS and AUX lights on solid, and light #4 blinks 1 second on, 1 second off. If I remove the memory module, it'll boot up but no RAID-5 option.Īs I'm a Dell guy, this is unfamiliar territory for me. If I remove just the battery, same issue. When I installed them and booted the server up, the controller fails to initialize and says self-test failed. ![]() I just picked up a battery, the cable between battery and memory module, and 512MB memory module for the raid controller to allow for RAID-5 configurations. I setup a RAID-1 array with a spare, and installed VMWare ESXi and that worked fine, so the RAID card appears to be good. I purchased two more 300gb harddrives used off eBay. ![]() That means I'm limited to RAID-0, RAID-1, or RAID 0+1. The server came with one 300GB SAS 15k hdd and an HP Smart Array P410 controller without battery or memory module. I picked up a used HP Proliant DL120 G7 server off eBay for really cheap, to use for personal hosting of some VMs.
