You have 2 choices, depending on which riser you have:

- PERC4/DC (PCI-X)

- PERC4e/DC (PCIe)

If your controller doesn't see the PV220S at all, it's likely the card, the cable, or the EMM.

If it sees the PV220S, but not the physical drives, you are probably looking at an EMM issue, backplane issue (unlikely as it's pretty much passive) or a drive that's causing issues (possibly knocking the other drives in the enclosure offline).

 Dev Mgr, thanks for the quite response!

So there wouldn't be much of a sense in getting another RAID card since that's what I already have.  

When going through boot, I can view the disk array and configure the RAID volume and the BIOS even recognizes and says that it supports the logical drive created on the array.  However when Windows comes up, only the embedded drives are shown.  Also, OpenManage doesn't even show the PERC 4/DC card existing.  Windows at least shows the card and says it's working properly.

So what does it mean if the card see the PV220S and the drives, but not Windows and OM?  Also, I'm not sure what you mean by an EMM issue.  Could you expound on that?

codeguy, did you ever figure this out.  I have the same issue.  I can see the disk array in the configuration but not in windows when it boots up.  My assumption is the wrong driver, would be interested in seeing what you used.

thanks,

Mostly.  Turns out that there is no working Windows Server 2008 R2 driver for the PCIe version of the card.  I ended up ordering both a PCI-x RAID card and a riser to swap the PCIe riser for a PCI-x riser.  The drivers already used then worked perfectly.
