Hi Thanks,

Yes i resolved it.

I downloaded an older version of the SSA on the website as the newer versions would not install.

I have since replace the 300GB SSA 15k SAS drive and the server has rebuilt the raid.

All tested ok.

I have now connected the server through the ilo to the network as it wasnt previously setup.

Thanks 

David
