Hi Guys,
My raid went down today and I can't figure out why. I recently purchased a Supermicro server which was crushing what I needed it to do. It has 12 x 2 TB HDDs, 1 x Intel 3700 800GB systems drive, 192GB of memory, Supermicro X9DRI-LN4F+ mother board and the 826BA-R920LPB case with backpanes etc. All of the front LEDs on the case for the HDDs are light and showing that everything is normal.
It has an LSI 9261-8i RAID card and the HDDs were set up in a raid 6 array. Everything was going swimmingly until I added a sound card (sandblaster Audigy Fx). While inside the case, I must have disturbed something because my array died on me. At this point, I have tried everything and every combination of cables that I have to try to isolate the problem. I have removed all cards other than the raid card etc to see if that would bring the card back to life. Nothing works.
Before I order a new card, are there any other tricks that I should try? Right now, I do not even see the option to load the web bios for the raid card during boot up.
