The DL120 G7 has the Intel C200 chipset with 6 integrated SATA3 ports. This is supported by the standard Debian kernels AFAIK with the latest AHCI driver. Connect the 4 drive backplane to 4 of these ports and you should be fine. If you have the "base" model, do not use the included Smart Array B110i. It is a fakeraid solution and on top of that requires an extra license key to enable it. Thus you're better off using Linux software RAID. If you want a fully supported real PCIe RAID card, buy an LSI and avoid all the HP nonsense required to enable all the features that LSI (and others) gives you out of the box. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
