Adaptec Computers & Internet - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

the hard drive is dead ( dreaded click of ***** syndrome ) you can have that verified at a computer repair shop and if that is the case use a solid state hard drive as a replacement and not the spinning disc type as for the data you have stored , there are places than can recover it from the dead hard drive but unless you have it all backed up on an external hard drive or storage device then it is lost

The first thing I would do is during POST Press hit <ctrl + A>for SCSISelect (TM) Utility! When you get in to the utility you can verify that the bus is set to 320 (it should be). since the drives you have are capable of that speed you should be running at 320. You should also make sure you have the latest firmware applied. Also keep in mind, the type of data you are reading and writting to the disks will greately influance the throughput. for example if you are streaming video to the disks you will get very high throughput numbers but if you are using the disks for a database or lots of small files your throughput will drop extreamly quickly because the drives have to do physical IO activity and that just takes time. so my point is depending on what you are doing with this system and the fact you only have 3 drives might make it a moot point. this is a link to the manual for that adapter. hope this helps http://download.adaptec.com/pdfs/installation_guides/scsi_installation_and_user_guide_02_07.pdf

hi..
my guess is no but since i haven't dealt with this type of server i'm going to suggest you go to hp.
if you just goto hp.com and search on live chat and a link will come up.. they should be able to help unless it's too old since i'm not sure what generation we are on now..

good luck, hope this helps a little..d
