dl380 g5 SAS array failure?

[Hardydrewandthenancyboy]

I have a DL380 G5 with 2 internal SAS disks. It's been running fine for around 8 months.
Server failed yesterday and there are no lights coming on the sas disks today. They flash briefly when the box is switched on but thats it. Its trying to boot from NIC.
Will call HP support but any ideas in the meantime?

The controller card is blown, HP will send a new one. Should have asked but is there any danger of losing the existing os and raid config after putting in the new replacement card?

Config is stored on the disks... so no problem.

Fixed by replacing the card. p.s. The blown original looks like it has a spot of excess glue or something dripped on it during manufacturing, I can't be sure its related to the failure though.
