Hi,
I just bought a M1000e with M610 blades for training purposes. I popped in two Dell branded SAS drives but nothing is presented to Linux (run on SD card) and nothing is found during the BIOS POST. What am I doing wrong? These blades have no RAID controller modules so I'm not expecting RAID, but I was under the assumption that these would initialize as simple drives. Do I have to have a HBA module in every blade just to utilize them as simple drives?
Additionally, does anyone know if the SD card slot supports high capacity SDXC cards? Also does anyone have benchmark numbers for the throughput of the SD card interface? Is it faster than the internal USB port?
