swaziantz Posted July 23, 2021 Share #1 Posted July 23, 2021 Hello all - I'm a complete NOOB, first off. I recently was given an old server that was not working. I spent weeks fixing the power unit and the board so that I could start the machine. The previous owner was running Windows Server, unlicenced. I want to put on Synology using Xpenology. I have followed the various instructions and created the boot disk and got the to the point where I can view the Synology device with the find.synology.com site. However, after answering the 2 questions I come to a screen that shows that Synology can not find any hard disks. I have tried this with DS3615xs and DS3617xs. I also tried with the DS918 however when I run this I cannot find the device using the find.synology site, therefore assume that the network device is not supported. The HPE has 2 Intel Xeon CPU E5-2609 0 @ 2.40GHz chips for a total of 8 cores. The server has 3 Hard drives, in an array, each drive only 450GB in size. I attach a couple of screenshots from startup and of the Diskstation startup screen before instalation, and the error message. I have subsequently unplugged the CDRom device as I read on a different thread that this could be an issue, however it did not solve the problem. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate the help. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellsworth Posted August 14, 2021 Share #2 Posted August 14, 2021 you need to go to the BIOS and set de controller into AHCI mode, not sure if the P320i allows it. plan b? set the controller from raid mode to HBA mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
