I recently borrowed my brother’s HP DL380G server as I wanted to see if there was any difference in rendering speed for video content. When I tried installing Windows 7 on the server it kept freezing. Upon restarting the server several times, I noticed there was an error message during bootup. The message was:<\/p>\n

Slot 1 HP Smart Array P4000 Controller<\/em><\/strong>
\n 1783-Slot 1 Array controller is in a lock0up State due to a hardware configuration failure. (Controller is disabled until this problem is resolved).<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I guess the reason why the Windows 7 installation kept freezing was because it couldn’t find any HHD to store windows. So with a bit of troubleshooting, I managed to work out the problem and it had to do with the Raid Controller.<\/p>\n

The RAID controller has a Memory module connected to it. This is the module:<\/p>\n

Remove the module from the card and leave it out for a few minutes. Make sure there are no cables connected to it eg the battery cable.<\/p>\n

Reconnect the module and reinsert it on the card.Reconnect all the cable and then try to see if the error message is gone. This fixed my issue!<\/p>\n

I also decided to take a few photos inside the unit since I had the cover open. Here’s a few picture for heat sinks and memory:<\/p>\n
