Hey all,
I hope this forum is the appropriate place for this post. Strangely enough there doesn't seem to be a pre-built server forum on here.
A few years back I bought a HP DL180 G6. I wound up not using it because I needed 3rd party PCIe cards and it has this nasty tendency of throwing a hissy fit when you use non-HP cards that lack the sensors it is looking for, and crank up the 8x 18krpm fans to 100% and emit a deafening jumbojet like roar that can be heard in my bedrooms two stories up with all the doors closed.
So, it wasn't going to work at home.
Anyway, I've considered using it recently, shipping it off to a colocation site, but I need a non raid JBOD SAS HBA if I am to do so.
Does anyone know if there is an HP HBA I can buy that has the sensors the server is looking for, so it won't enter freakout fan mode?
To be clear, a hardware raid card won't work. It needs to be a card with an HNA mode like LSI cards have of flashed with IT firmware.
Much obliged,
Matt
