thanks - PERC6e is on order
I have an MD1000 which has been sitting on a shelf unused for some months now. We've decided to redeploy it and set it on a workbench and powered it UP with no connections to any server or the network - yet. The unit appears to power UP (loud fans and all) and the HDD lights do all flash a few times, but once the POST appears to be done, there are no lights on the hard drives. Correction: Drive #1 doesn't even appear to power UP during POST. Is this normal, or did something fail during storage ?
