Hi everyone, I installed a HP SAS HBA H222 card (Firmware 13.10.83.00-IT) on my Dell T5610 to connect with a 24 bay JBOD (Netapp DS4246). The machine starts but it's stuck on the HBA initializing phase with only 1 drive installed. I have tried taking the SAS drive out, the T5610 boots into windows, with the SAS drive inserted, i can see the correct sas drive in disk manager. however it would not initialise (some sort of I/O device error). I have spent hours googling for a solution to no avail as I'm pretty new to this. Am I missing something obvious here? thanks in advance!
