Server Failed. Need data.
I have a Dell Power Edge SC1420 Server that won’t boot. It has a processor or motherboard issue. From what I understand the controller in the server is PCI-X and finding a computer with that interface is hard. The two drives are in a raid1 set.
Here are some of the original specs:
ASSEMBLY, CABLE, HARD DRIVE, SCSI (SMALL COMPUTER SYSTEMS INTERFACE), 4 DROP, TRANSFORMER METROPLEX DESKTOP
CARD (CIRCUIT), CONTROLLER, PERC320, REDUNDANT ARRAY OF INTEGRATED/ INEXPENSIVE DRIVES/DISKS, PRECISION WORKSTATION
CARD (CIRCUIT), CONTROLLER, U320, SCSI (SMALL COMPUTER SYSTEMS INTERFACE), PWS/PWREDG
Hard Drive, 36GB, S, U320, 10K, 68PSeagate
Is it possible that I can place one of these drives on a new controller, place it in a workstation and access the data?
Thank you

The only available backup is Veritas Backup Exec that is running successfully to a USB drive. It may be version 9.1. If creates several bkf files each day. I have copy of Seagate Backup Exec 10 loaded on an XP workstation. I hope Seagates v10 will read Veritas v9.1 files?

Isn't the PCIX card so much longer than the Normal PCI slots?

But anyway, why don't you just get the data from your backups?
