FastTrak TX4310 problems with a Dell PowerEdge 1800??!

Product: FastTrak TX4310, BIOS Version: 2.8.1.4, Driver Version 2.6.1.318

Operating System: Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2

Hardware: Dell PowerEdge 1800, BIOS A07

Configuration: (4) SATA 320 GB Hard Drives (Western Digital - ST3320620AS), (1) SCSI 76GB drive running the OS and Exchange partitions.

The onboard LSI Logic Ultra320 SCSI is running the system SCSI drives, the FastTrack TX4310 is running the 4 Western Digital drives on a raid 5 for data retention. When this was intially set up the server would post the BIOS and show the BIOS for the LSI onboard SCSI and the FastTrak card, but would only allow the server to boot if there was no array defined, once you intailized the RAID 5 via PAM in Windows or at the BIOS level the server would lock up after posting all BIOS before booting into Windows. After the firmware on the TX4310 was upgraded, the firware on the server was upgraded from A06 to A07, and the driver on the TX4310 was updated to the latest revision the server started posting cannot find boot drive after posting all BIOS for the motherboards and SCSI onbooard and the TX4310. We have played with the different drive sequences and boot orders on the Dell PowerEdge 1800 and have still yet to figure this out. This only happens when you define the RAID 5 array, if nothing is defined everything works properly.

We tried working with Promise and they were no help as well besides telling us to trying different IRQ numbers and moving the card to different PCI slots.  Which we had already tried and nothing worked.

Any help would be appreciated and any reference to a SATA II card that would work with this set up.

Sincerely,

Mike Johnson
