Installing Raid Card on IBM x3200 M2
What a day, …
As per request, i designed a server with RAID capability and plan to use SATA RAID controller from intel / adaptec / promises brand.
Looking for intel and promise is difficult, yet i found 1 sata raid controller from adaptec at gudang IT, 3rd floor of dusit mangga dua Jakarta.
Happily take home those card, i get shock when i open my new-fresh from the box IBM x3200 M2 has no PCI-X slot ready. Luckily it has one pci-X slot, but, to enable it you need PCI-X Enablement Slot / Card from IBM.
I’m not sure whether IBM Indonesia has it or not, well, .. i guess i’m not supposed to be pushing my body limit yet. (since i’m planning to finish all the installation today). It’s gonna be very bad if IBM Indonesia doesn’t have it. I look everywhere in Internet yet found nothing but it. Except a small information from IBM website with no where-to-buying info.
