Yes i have the latest driver and utilities from the areca website.
I only tested the drivers of the CD to be sure, that i tried anything possible.

I´m waiting for the response of the Areca Support.
But i still think its a damaged unit, because theres no bios-message shown at my PC when i start up.
Nearly every Raidcard shows a Bios on PC…

regards…

Hi Bob,

thanks again for your help.

I tried different configurations.
I Installed a clean OSX 10.6.8 , 10.7.4 , 10.8.5.
In every system the same issues. The card is shown as unknown PCI Device.
After installing the latest driver and reboot, no card is listed in the system profiler.
And the whole system slow down.

I also attached the card to my HP XW workstation.
On a PC system the card must show the Bios on the start up.
I only get the message: “Waiting for F / W to become ready”

I think the device is damaged.
I will sent it back to the shop, then they have to check if its working or not.

Regards,
Thomas

Nice to know that person with the same is working at Dreamworks, weird…

I had the same idea to flash the card to the newest firmware,
but as long as the card is not listed in the OSX System Info, i can´t flash it by the MRAID Utility.
It´s simple not existing in my system, also not in the MRAID Utility.

To be clear, you mean the MRAID Utility which i can open on a ready booted System by the Archttp Proxie Server?

Thanks in advance, for your help!
