I just got an old Dell Poweredge 6800 for free last week and I want to run a second unraid server on it. I have it booted and I can view the webpage for configuring, but I cannot see my hard drives anywhere here. The server uses SCSI drives and they all connect to the stock backplane. Here is a link to the product PDF on dell.com: http://www.dell.com/downloads/emea/products/pedge/pe6800.pdf

 

The controller is listed as: 

SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c1030 PCI-X Fusion-MPT Dual Ultra320 SCSI (rev 08)

Is there something I need to do in order to see the hard drives?

I don't think unRAID can see SCSI disks but you can try going into the controller's bios and creating a single disk RAID 0 for each of the hard drives...unless there's a JBOD option.

 

Or you can do what I did and get a cheap PCI-X SATA RAID card and start acquiring SATA disks.
