DL180G5 disk problem

Hi everybody,

my problem is in DL180G5, new one, two weeks old server.
I cannot see intrenal disk in bay1.It is the only disk in configuraion, also BIOS doesn't recognize him and i don't know what else i can do. I replaced backplane, but problem is still there. I'm now waiting new sata cable to come. But interesting is that when i put cd rom in everyone of four sata conector, CD is visible in BIOS which is not same with hdd. So, mainboard is good. Also i have and P800 controller in pci-e slot, which is conected to MSA60 and i have virtual machine on it and i can create arrays, there is everything ok, but i don't understand what is problem with internal server cage and disk. I hope so that new sata spliter will solved my problem.

If anyone can, i'm here.
Thank a lot.
Predrag

For Karlo!

BIOS isn't problem.

It's a probably DOA system, but i will try few more things.

If anybody have some advise, don't be unfriendly:)

Kind regards,
Predrag
