POST Error 1785 Drive Array ???

[Sherwyn Williams]

Hello all,

over the past week I have received this error message when I logged into the server and view the Integrated Management Log Viewer and the last event i saw was on 3/9/07, and the post error message was emailed to me on 3/13/07, and 3/16/07.

I have two question, one is does this message means that my exchange server is rebooting by its self, and if so has anyone else seen this before.

Yes you're server is rebooting by itself,it might be in the BIOS when it sees an critical error (ASR:Auto Recovery System, must be activate).

This message meens you server array is not configure or you re array baterie is power is too low, if that it you will need to change the array(1):
