| 00:00.17 | Maxdamantus | nvm, you didn't mention M.2 |
| 00:00.49 | brolin_empey | I removed the top of the case to see the internals of the computer. The SATA(PI) ODD is connected to the SATA B connector on the motherboard. The SATA A connector on the motherboard has nothing connected. This model of computer is apparently from 2007 so I think it predates M.2 and maybe even mSATA. I guess I could use a caddy/adapter designed to install a 2.5-inch HDD or SSD in the drive bay used by an ODD in a notebook computer in the drive bay used |
| 00:00.49 | brolin_empey | for the ODD in this computer. I think the samsung700z notebook computer of my father from 2012 that died a year or two ago has one of these caddies/adapters I can reuse. This situation actually seems to make sense now because the motherboard firmware refers to or mentions something like SATA A and SATA B ports but only shows the ODD for these ports. |
| 00:01.26 | Maxdamantus | but it sounds like the "RAID" option is using a separate card. Does the motherboard only have one physical SATA port? |
| 00:02.02 | Maxdamantus | You'd certainly want to connect the drive to the board directly if you want to avoid going through the RAID card. |
| 00:02.22 | Maxdamantus | (connect the drive to the motherboard) |
| 00:03.02 | brolin_empey | The motherboard has at least two SATA host ports using normal SATA connectors. I only see two SATA ports and the motherboard firmware only mentions two ports so I think it has only two ports. |
| 00:15.41 | brolin_empey | https://scontent.fyvr1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.15752-9/p1080x2048/84556287_185078556069073_3850752688434184192_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&_nc_oc=AQn9TRvDfXyFR9FfvUlj3ajX9JDefUEYyAmhcHXU0vlCOyZz_Px0b9XEaBOl4b28qTU&_nc_ht=scontent.fyvr1-1.fna&_nc_tp=6&oh=5f47c735e663fe62f24c4d0ab6e2cb24&oe=5EC670AE |
| 00:17.47 | brolin_empey | The blue SATA data cable for the ODD is connected to the SATA B port on the motherboard. The unused SATA connector on the motherboard is for the SATA A port. |
| 00:19.07 | Maxdamantus | Okay. From Googling, it sounds like you can enable/disable the two SATA ports, and I get the impression it might be an error for a drive to not be detected in an enabled SATA port, so maybe you need to enable the currently-unused one. |
| 00:26.30 | brolin_empey | The SATA(PI) ODD uses a slimline SATA connector instead of normal, separate SATA data and wide SATA power connectors so I cannot directly replace the ODD with the 2.5-inch SATA drive case for the mSATA SSD. I have to either use the caddy for a notebook computer ODD bay or try to fit an LP4 to SATA power adapter/cable in the available space. Or find a slimline SATA to normal SATA adapter, which I guess is commercially available? |
| 01:13.42 | brolin_empey | I solved one problem but now I have a new problem. I removed the slimline SATA to 2.5-inch normal SATA drive caddy from the samsung700z notebook computer that died, used this caddy to connect the 2.5-inch normal SATA drive case for the mSATA SSD to the SATA_A port on the PowerEdge 2950 motherboard. Now the PowerEdge boots the OS (Ubuntu) from the mSATA SSD connected as a normal SATA drive without using RAID but I still have to press at least one key while |
| 01:13.42 | brolin_empey | the computer is booting and apparently the fans are always running full speed, which is very loud. Any idea why the fans do not automatically change to the slow/quieter mode? The rotational pseudofile for sda now contains 0, as it should, because the SSD is connected directly to the motherboard as a normal SATA drive, not connected to the RAID controller. |
| 01:16.55 | brolin_empey | I think the fans may have eventually slowed because they seem quieter now. |
