The power of google - far better for searching the IBM web site than the IBM web site search tools.

I put "PCI-X DUAL CHAN.U320 RAID ADP FC 5703" into google and the first hit is the book that tells you just about all you could want to know about this adapter.

The IBM documentatin is first class but the web site is absolute rubbish.

Anyway, here you go:

thank you for the reply. I found that backplaner is not supporting for the FC 5703 Raid controller, therefor I re-order FC 1907 raid ennoblement card.

I installed FC 1907 raid ennoblement card and I check the status of Raid card with a "Linux iprconfig" command(this was done in the linux rescue mode). In Raid configuration menu Raid card has detected and Identified but status is not operational.
appreciate if someone can tell me how to get the status in to operational.
