ML30 Gen9 Smart Array doesn't see disks

Has been configured with 3 x 800GB drives in a 1.6 TB RAID array for months.

Rebooted the server, looked at it the next day and all the lights on the front were flashing.

BIOS doesn't see the disks anymore. I replaced the smart array's battery (looks like two large double A's) hoping it would fix it.

SSA health check says this:

1785-Slot Ob Drive Array Not Configured. No Drives Detected. Action: Reseat or add drives.
Verify comections
between the drives, backplane(s), and controller. Use the HP SSA to

1785-Slot Ob Drive Array Not Configured. No Drives Detected. Action: Reseat or add drives.
Verify comections
between the drives, backplane(s), and controller.

But I didn't physically touch the drives at all. Reseated them anyway after a day just in case. Same issue.

SSA does see the external 1TB USB drive I use to install Linux server with though. So I know the system sees drives., just that the array doesn't..

Help !!! Thanks folks

Hello,

Please shutdown the server, reseat the drives once again and see if it helps.
