Whilst in setup I reconnected the SAS cables to the motherboard and one by one my ssd's reinitialised. I rebooted the machine and held my fingers crossed (with a G8, it takes a while to boot.). So I powered the machine down again and disconnected the SAS cables. Bummer! I figured it must of been the SAS cables, because the cache module alone didn't fix it. In the P410 manual it talks about using HP Systems Insight Manager. But I see no way of getting notification of a drive failure other than having to manually open the HP Array Configuration Utility software yourself. But hey, when I rebooted the server, the error message was back. I installed an HP P410 RAID controller in my HP N40L ProLiant MicroServer. Hallelujah and praise the Flying Spaghetti Monster! It works! In all my enthusiasm I powered down the server to re-attach the cache module and the SAS cables. I know i could downgrade FW to 3.Then, I got the idea to disconnect the cache module, and more importantly, the SAS cables on the motherboard, so there wouldn't be any signal to the raid controller at all. I've tried the controller on my other PC (Gigabyte GA-H87-D3H / i5 4570k) and i fall in a reboot loop (but no errors).

I recycled a Gigabyte EX58-UD3R m/b with core I7 920 CPU. For testing purpose, i'm currently trying to build a Virtualization Server at home.
