Installing Server 2003 on a Proliant 3000

[EagleEyeTalon]

OK, I am having an issue as the guy in thread866-1121952 did. When I start up my server (that was given to me) it says that the array is not configured and then the 2003 Server Installation does not see hard drives. How do I configure the array?

You need SmartStart version 5.5. You can download it from HP here:

OK, did that, when I boot to the CD, it does not always load and when it does, it does not run any of the configs.

So I tried the compaq system config utility and it asked for the drive array diags disk....so I did that. I get an error on the diag. "Controller has no logical drive configuration. No configuration for Accelerator Board"

Its sees the drives from 00 - 06, but I am not sure if it does not like the CD-R I made the image from or what.

The guy I got the server from was running it fine, he just had no need for it anymore.

Oh, and how do I shut off one of the power supplies in the bios?

OK, figured it out. Turns out my internal hard drives came unplugged from the mother board some how.
