I built my own intel server from chasis up. &nbsp;Everything worked fine and I installed 3 sas 2.5 hard drives and a 3.2 ghz processor, 4 gigs ram.. installed server 2008.. all worked great. &nbsp;THEN<br />
<br />
I thought I would install a raid key with dimm unto the midplane. &nbsp;Now hard drives aren't recognized and can't do much of anything. &nbsp;So, when I added that raid key and dimm shouldn't it have been recognized? <br />
<br />
HELP smart people. &nbsp;I spent $3500 building this thing and would like a raid 5 config but right now have nada...<br />
<br />
The raid equipment is as follows:<br />
FALSASMP Active SAS Midplane Kit with SAS controller (preinstalled in SR2500ALLX) 8 SAS/SATA ports &nbsp;N/A Active Midplane with optional ROMB upgrade (RAID 5/50) Host RAID 0,1,10 (optional ROMB upgrade using AXXRAK18E and AXXMINIDIMM &nbsp;installed<br />

After installing raid key I cannot access any of my hard drive

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
