Mailman74 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I apologize but I have tried to search all over for my answer which is probably easy for everyone on here. I have an unraid that I am adding a norco hot swap and asupermicro sata card to. What needs to be done for the card and drives to be recognized? I put the sata card in the pcie slot and hooked up the power and breakout cable to the norco. I put a hdd in the norco and it lights up but the hdd does not show up. I am thinking that I need a driver or firmware but I do not understand linux that much. I do not know how to install drivers or firmware on linux and I do not have a cd rom. Sorry about the easy questions but I have been at this for hours today. Link to comment

Sorry about the easy questions but I have been at this for hours today. The Supermicro card does not need any drivers to work, unRAID will detect it just fine. As for the Norco cage, I assume you are talking about the NORCO SS-500 cage. If that is the case, then are you sure you got the correct breakout cables. You need the Forward breakout cable kind (like these). Link to comment

Man I have no luck with this stuff and I am trying my hardest to figure some of it out. Here is the cable I ordered http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816116097 Link to comment

Mailman74 Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 I installed 5.0 beta 10 today before in putting in the sata card and hot swap cage. Link to comment
