How many RAID cards can idrac support?
I am using DSS8440, and there are 4 H830 cards installed on the machine, but only 3 cards can be work well in iDRAC. The status of the fourth card in iDRAC is unknown, and virtual disks cannot be created or the number of disks cannot be viewed.
Passthrough the fourth card to the operating system, where all functions are normal. I can create and manage virtual disks through perccli64.
I tried to replace the new H830 card and the result was the same, indicating that it was not a problem with the card. The firmware of iDRACs and H830 has also been upgraded to the latest version.

Hello, thanks for revisiting our community.
According to page 9,

It doesn't seem that DSS8440 supports H830, I'm afraid. Hope that helps your understanding.

@DELL-Young E thanks for reply.
I think this document is inaccurate because I purchased the server with H750 as standard, which is not included in the document, and the H830 firmware can be downloaded from the dss8440 support list.
In addition, out of the 4 H830, 3 can be recognized normally, and the fourth can recognize and create raid and manage hard drives after booting/restarting idrac, but it won't work after a while. I think this should be an issue with idrac.
Today I changed H830 to H840, problems are same. iDRAC only recognize 4 cards, regardless of the model.

Hello I'm afraid I don't see anything that supports using 4 H830/H840s on a manual.
