Devices are not Recognized under Device Manager

The Windows* operating systems do not include all of the drivers for the Intel chipsets, onboard NICs, and other components. See “Additional Information and Software” for a link to the current drivers and chipset files.

Hard Drive(s) are not Recognized

Check the following:

1.Make sure the drive is not disabled in BIOS Setup.

2.Make sure the drive is connected correctly and that is plugged into the power supply.

3.Make sure the drive is compatible. See “Additional Information and Software” for a link to the tested drives.

4.Make sure you have not exceeded the power budget for the server. See “Additional Information and Software” for a link to software to check your power budget.

5.If using SCSI drives, verify that each SCSI ID number is uniqe on the SCSI bus. See your drive documentation for details on setting the SCSI ID for your drives.

6.If using IDE drives, verify that the master/slave settings are set correctly. See your drive documentation for details on setting the master/slave settings.

7.If using a RAID configuration with SCSI or SATA drives, make sure the RAID card is installed correctly.

Bootable CD-ROM Is Not Detected

Check the following:

Make sure the BIOS is configured to allow the CD-ROM to be the first bootable device.
