With the card installed in the z420, do you get a no drives detected, bios not installed message? if so the card appears to be working however the next issue is Bios rom free space. The HP P420 controller is a ENTERPRISE controller, as such support is from HPE (Hewlett Packard Enterprise) this controller was only ment to be installed in specific HPE SERVERS, not workstations, or consumer systemsĪll documentation/files are from HPE not HP, Not to forget when the RAID is installed in the machine it is not possible to enter the machine BIOS Setup (by pressing F10). Your help will be greatly appreciated to achieve the above configuration (orelse I guess I will have to put the contoller on my drawer !!) Took out the RAID controller - all normal as before.Ī) Is the HP P420 smartraid controller compatible with Z420 workstation ?Ĭan I use the current SSD connected to motherboard as boot drive and create an array of drives connected to the P420 RAID controller for DATA storage ? or all drives should be connected to the RAID controller

Pressing ESC does nothing and the computer gets stuck and does not boot at all. Pressing F8 ofcourse finds no drives (I guess SSD is not shown as it is connected to motherboard) Then says Press F8 to configure array or ESC to continue. Switched on the machine - Finds that the controller in Slot5 OkĪttempts to discover hard drives connected - FInds none (which is the case as I have not connected any) Just bought an HP Smart Array P420 Controller with 1GB FBWC to use it, instead of using the integrated controller. (I use this machine as a small office Server)
