I have a couple of 188x cards with battery backup. The batteries are failing and I'm wondering if anyone knows a source for the battery only without having to buy a whole new package from Areca...Thanks!

OK, so maybe it's the card/connector since I'm still using the same cable. Appreciate the help and confirmation that the 1882/SC847 are compatible with each other.

Here's the log...I moved the enclosure to a 1880 card and the timeouts disappeared. Maybe the SC847 is not compatible with the 1882? However, I've used the combination before and never had any problems. The array in question is in Enc#6. Thanks! 2015-10-31 06:19:40 Enc#6 Slot 08 Time...

Hi, I have an Areca 1882 RAID6 array with 15 Hitachi HDS5C3030ALA630 3TB drives in a Supermicro SC847 chassis and am experiencing timeout errors. My settings are: TLER Setting 7 seconds Timeout Setting 120 seconds Number Of Retries 3 Any ideas on what is wrong? Or other...

Good advice. Thanks for your help.

As an update, I tried the CPUs on an Intel S5520HCT motherboard, and they work. So, the issue is my DL180 G6 does not support the X5687 CPU. This is strange as I see DL180 G6's configured with this CPU for sale. Any ideas? I've tried clearing CMOS, machine has latest firmware etc. Thanks...

Thanks, I have the 750w psu's - that should be sufficient, right? and also the latest firmware...From 8/13/13. I'm being sent new CPU's so I'll update this thread when I try them. Thanks for everyone's help.

Thanks for the suggestion. When I reinstall the old CPU's, it boots up fine again...so I think the pins are okay?

Hi, I have a DL180 G6 server and I would like to upgrade the current dual L5630 processors to dual X5687 processors. When I install the X5687 processors, the server turns on, but never gets to the bios boot screen...the fans just stay on very loud. Going to the BMC, I see a CATERR for both...

Hi, the IT department of a local university is selling off one of these units and I thought it might be fun to set it up at home. However, I am unfamiliar with FC and SAN networks. I do have Microsoft DPM 2012 which is supposed to support this tape library. The library has 3 LTO 4 drives...

Hi, I have an 1882 card...would some mind explaining to me what the setting PCIE Link Down Reset does? Thanks, Hammer

I saw this thread and am very intrigued by this unit, especially given the pricing on eBay. The models MDS600 and SSA70 appear to be used interchangeably, but have different HP part numbers. Does anyone know what the differences are? Are the SAS modules all the same? And has anyone...

Hi, I'm looking to implement a file server with Server 2012 R2 and wanted to test Storage Spaces (SS) with ReFS. I understand with SS, I can setup my disks as simple or mirror. If I do simple and then format using ReFS with parity, do I get the equivalent of RAID5? What is the purpose of...

Areca CLI Help. Hi Areca users - I am new to the CLI and was looking for some pointer on how I can unmount a RaidSet using CLI. I have two Areca cards in the system and I would like to unmount the RaidSet in Card #2 called "RAID6 2TB". Can someone help me with the syntax? By default, it...

Hi, I have a 1880 card with originally 11 3TB hitachi drives setup as a raid6 array and a single volume. I added 2 of the same drives and initiated a raidset expansion. The expansion went smoothly and I proceeded to expand the volume so my os can see the added space. I did that by logging...

Hi, do you have a link for the firmware? I only see 1.50 for the 1882 series. I have a 1880 card. Thanks, hammer.

Hi, it's been a while since this topic has been visited. Has anyone had any success using the HP SAS Expander with an Adaptec RAID card? I understand maybe firmware v1.0 works, but any luck with 2.02 or above and recent Adaptec firmware? Thanks, Hammer8

I got the expander on ebay. I think the same place was selling to this forum in earlier posts. Do you know of any settings I may need to adjust to get the drives on the expander to show up on the Adaptec card (since it recognizes the Expander, it seems they're at least talking to each other)...

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone's had any success with the HP SAS Expander and an Adaptec Card. I have tried it with both a 3805 and a 51245 and while both cards recognize the HP SAS Expander on the BIOS screen (shows up as "Box" and firmware version 2.02 is reported by both Adaptec cards), any...
