HP server DL120 G6 raid 1 configuration and OS installation.
Hello, I need to setup an HP DL120 G6 server. I want to set it up with 2 HDD's in RAID 1 When I enter the BIOS I have 4 options for the setup of the integrated SATA controller, AHCI, RAID and Disabled. Whichever one I select, the RAID setup does not appear when starting up. . Anyone any ideas. after completing the raid configuration I want to install Windows server 2003. I believe the server uses Smart Array B110i as the raid controller.
any help is very much appreciated.

I am accepting your answer. For being the only one who care to answer. The problem turned out to be the actual system board. I got the motherboard replaced and the Raid controller is working properly. It automatically set up the Raid 1 as i had two drive on the server.
Well I am glad you were able to get it resolved. Sorry it turned to be the system board, but I am glad to hear you are back up and running. Thanks you for the award. I appreciate it very much. Happy Computing! :)

Smart Array B110i SATA RAID Controller. In addition I went to the HP website and found they have a easy CD set up. Do I need to boot up the server with this CD prior of installing the operating system ?
