SCSI driver automatically.

when did this beast last work.
see the manual yet>
there are many 370s ,which one, the full service tag answers that.
G , 2, on up. 9????????????
Proliant servers.
use google to find old manuals.
here is g2
https://www.manualshelf.com/manual/hp/hp-proliant-ml370-g2-server/compaq-proliant-ml370-g2-service-update.html

here is HP site covering retired products, I suspect your is..
https://www.hpe.com/h20195/v2/Library.aspx?doccompany=HPE&cc=us&lc=en&filter_status=rw#&doccompany-hpe&sortorder-csdisplayorder&teasers-off&searchword-Compaq%20ProLiant%20ML370&isRetired-false&isRHParentNode-false&titleCheck-true



HPE has the , 642 book here. (just a spec)

https://www.hpe.com/h20195/v2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=c04284123


if read that page it tells you the controller is only works with
SCSI
Compatibility with all Ultra320, Ultra3 and Ultra2 LVD family products.
it also tells you , it needs the HP utility tools to set it up properly


why would your clean disks boot? why say that?
what does this mean?
"and i replace hard drives to clean and check" surely you can elaborate the full story,
last run when?> what G number is it.
what drives , make and model. installed.
do you have the software setup seen on page 5 link just above.
quote
All Smart Array products share a common set of configuration, management and diagnostic tools,
including Array Configuration Utility, Array Diagnostic Utility (ADU), and Insight Manager.


this product is offically retired, by hp and only few books there.
but google finds many books, 15 years old now. (as old as...)

see this, it tells you what to do in 77 pages.

my guess is you get lost at Set the boot controller
(Chapter 4).
my guess, is that you have no HP sofware support kits.
just hardware there.... right?

next time tell the helper, full spec on 370 Gn G numer.
and full spec , on 642, version. and that you dont have the HP software kit to support this machine, it's no simple desktop, no at all.
at the least you get stuck here,

Create at least one logical drive, as described in Chapter 5.

using the ACU (array configuration utility) create a raid 0 with this drive after the hard drive is being formatted and is configured as raid 0 (no redundant) restart the server and the hard drive should be detected as a new logical volume with a assigned letter "D" "E"
ACU

Attach an external hard disc and put all your data in it. If the PC came with this OS then hp must have given a rescue disc, use that to boot and follow the instructions on the screen.........sodeep

you will need to add the new drive to your array bbfore it will how up to be formated do this throught the array configuration util

Hi! Turn off computer check cable & power cable connection. Windows 2003 Operating System will not support SCSI Drives.

Hi
While running the windows 2003 setup (winnt.exe), it will ask for SASI driver, you have to add the scsi driver... then windows 2003 os will detect the HDD.. then it will install..

This server direct not boot by windows cd....

You can either do this in the BIOS or (easier) just run a Linux installer (such as Ubuntu) and it will offer to do it for you when it sees Windows-formatted partitions.
