Hi all,<br />
<br />
I am trying to install Server 2003, I put in the Proliant easy setup disk which came with my server.<br />
<br />
I place the disk in, and the setup cd starts and goes into the HP setup. There is an option to deploy server but it won't go any further. <br />
<br />
The error which appears is:<br />
<br />
&quot;the primary controller configured in your system is not supported by this version of hp proliant easy set-up cd&quot;<br />
<br />
If I try an configure the raid within the hp setup, it says &quot;acu did not detect any supported controllers&quot;<br />
<br />
I get the same error even if I configure the raid first in the bios, or leave it unconfigured.

The error which appears is:

Onboard SATA Raid not compatible with HP installation

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
