Stupid RAID
Thursday 6th April, 2006 22:16 Comments: 0
Well I finally have power cables, so I decided to install the second RAID controller card tonight. But my screwdrivers are at my parents\' house (as I\'m slowly moving everything back to theirs) so I ended up using the end of a spoon, as the thumbscrews also support a flathead screwdriver. After putting the card in place, I booted up, but I could still see just one RAID controller card. Odd, I thought, so I decided to hook up a couple of the new hard disks to see if it\'d appear (sometimes controller cards will hide themselves if no disks are connected). Still nothing. So I figure I might have to configure the card when it boots up, but I\'d need to connect it to a monitor (and sort out a mouse and keyboard). I recently bought a long VGA cable so I could do this, but it looks like it's still a bit short, so I\'m giving up for tonight. Tomorrow I\'ll have screws for half the drives, a screwdriver, a keyboard and mouse, and I\'ll move the widescreen TFT down to the floor. And maybe move the lamp (I used a mirror to reflect the light back into the wardrobe). I do hope the card is actually working, I\'d hate to have to perform an RMA.
