Normally you configure the raid controller before you install the OS. Now when you enable the controller, it hides the physical disk from the server that's why you can not boot.

You may be able to do it after the fact based on the user guide on page 6

Take a good backup of the system in case something goes wrong.

First, I would like to know what type of controller do you have for your ML100 Series ? (this is since there are some Proliant 100 Server Series that do not contain controllers, i.e. the G2 version)
