Proliant ML310 not detect SAS Drives

[markxus]

Hello,
I have a HP PROLIANT ML310 G4 Server, and have two SAS Drives 146GB, 15K Rpm SAS (Model: DF146BB6C2),
From a new instalation neither with Windows Server 2008, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS or BIOS detect them,
you can see the image the type drives connection at:

When I START UP the CPU, There are 2 lights at HDD, 2 leds (1=bottom, 2=top), and the lights are in sequence: 1=green, 2=blue, 2=red, 1&2=OFF... and always kept OFF.

What I can do please for use the drives?
Thanks a lot.

When you press the function key to access the BIOS during boot, acan you see and select the drives in the choices there, or not ?
Also, from working with Proliant's back in the early Pentium days, are the drives you want to use on the supported list from HP ?
In those early days with Compaq Proliants, any added hardware had to come with an install disk or you couldn't use it. That was back in the days of EISA bus and SCSI drives, but there might still some brand-specific requirements.

SAS is not supported except for machines with an integrated 8 port HBA, in PCIx slot 1. Or another approved raid adapter. From just the system board, support is SATA only. If you have a raid card installed, then you need to setup the logical drives in the raid adapter and you will not see any drives in BIOS, this is normal. Choose boot SCSI or HD0 to boot from the logical drive after it is created and an OS is setup, For Linux, you must download the drivers on floppy and install during the OS setup. You can read more about this server from HP here.

Try the HP/compaq server forum forum458. This is a general hardware forum, and I for one do not know enough about Linux to help you, sorry.
