doblez Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Hey Unraid Forum, I recently bought a used R720 Dell server with 6*900GB SAS Disks and 2*100GB SSD (Dell Branded), but I added two Seagate Barracuda 4TB 2.5" in dell branded caddies. Something is wrong with the raid card, so I pulled it out and tried booting without, which works "fine" - The previous raid card was a PERC H310 MINI from dell, and all of the disks SATA/SAS were detected. I can see all of my SAS drives in the bios, but none of the SATA drives, which I find very weird. Furthermore, none of the drives, SATA nor SAS show up in the unraid system. Do you have any clue what I should do? I am willing to try anything if you can explain it to a sorta dummy! In advance thanks tower-diagnostics-20190630-1916.zip Quote Link to comment
CoDizzle Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I am having the same issue myself If anyone has the answer to this, Please Help. for some reason unraid just will not recognize any of my drives only the boot USB. I'm going to try disabling the raid controller maybe that will do something 🤔 Any suggestions welcome! Maybe somewhere out there in a far away land someone has the answer Quote Link to comment

They should show up after that. 1 Quote Link to comment

I flashed it over to IT When I begin At the end of the 2nd wipe of the Flash I was met with an e code Edited January 24, 2023 by CoDizzle Quote Link to comment

The new raid card I bought was already flashed to IT mode. Quote Link to comment
CoDizzle Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 code 524288 I learned that you could restart the 1st part of the Flash and for my H710 Mini I could type command "D1REVERT" IItthan erased the entire dell card. A deep wipe. Then started the flashing process again with no problems completing it successfuly. I then added my M.2 ssdAdapter, Nvidia K 4000 And upgraded the 2 CPU's to 3 gig 10 core. And fired her UP Unraid can see all the disks now. thank God. Solved Quote Link to comment
CoDizzle Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 And as you can tell by how I can't even write on a form, That it's a miracle that I got all that done on my own Not knowing anything about servers I picked this up 2 weeks ago I've never seen one before in my life 2 Quote Link to comment
