Smart Array 5I

[John Lacey]

I have a Proliant DL380 g2 server with a Smart Array 5I. I am getting the error message during boot 1775 - Slot 0 Disk Array not responding. Please check cables.

I have checked all the cables and they are attached. I am still getting this error

Hello John,

1775-Slot X Drive Array - ProLiant Storage System Not Responding SCSI Port Y:

...Check storage system power switch and cables. Turn the system power off while checking the ProLiant power and cable connections, then turn the system power back on to retry.

Audible Beeps: None

Possible Cause: Storage system problem detected. A SCSI enclosure seems to be connected to the specified SCSI bus, but no drives or SCSI backplane processor were detected on this bus.

Action:
1. Power down the server.
2. Check the external ProLiant power switch. External drives must all be powered up before the main system is.
3. Be sure the cables are connected properly and securely.
4. Update the storage device to the latest firmware version.
5. If the problem persists, replace the cable, backplane, or Smart Array Controller.

Also reseating the backplane is an option.
