Error 1946 slot 2 smart array
the server is fully configured (Windows, software). but there seems to be a problem with the hard drives and windows no longer starts.
but there seems to be a problem with the hard drives and windows no longer starts.
I don't want to make a mistake, I prefer to ask for advice so as not to lose the data.
THANKS

Hi,
I am not sure which Generation of server you have, but you can refer to this doc if its Gen10. Page# 158
1946-Slot X Smart Array - The following logical drives are disabled
