I'have ordered new Dell Perc5/E and new PCIe risers to my server Dell Poweredge 1950 III. I am trying to connect MD1000 to the server, but the server does not recognize Perc5/E, nothing to see in boot setup and on Dell OpenManage what I see is:
Slot ID Adapter Data Bus Width
PCI1 [Not Occupied] 8x or x8
PCI2 [Not Occupied] 8x or x8
Embedded 5000X Chipset Memory Controller Hub N/A
Embedded Broadcom BCM5708C NetXtreme II GigE (LOM) N/A
Embedded SAS 6/iR Integrated RAID Controller N/A
Embedded 5000 Series Chipset PCI Express x8 Port 4-5 N/A
Embedded 5000 Series Chipset PCI Express x4 Port 5 N/A
Embedded 5000 Series Chipset PCI Express x8 Port 6-7 N/A
Embedded 5000 Series Chipset PCI Express x4 Port 7 N/A
Embedded Broadcom BCM5708C NetXtreme II GigE (LOM) N/A
Embedded 631xESB/632xESB/3100 Chipset UHCI USB Controller #1 N/A
Embedded 631xESB/632xESB IDE Controller N/A
Embedded 6311ESB/6321ESB PCI Express Downstream Port E2 N/A
Embedded Radeon Graphics Adapter N/A
Embedded Remote Access Controller 5 N/A
I am using Debian 6.0.6, could someone suggest me where could be the problem? Or should I install something to the server to detect Perc5/e ? The green led on perc is on. Thanks.
