Problem reloading new Physical disks r410

Hello ,

yesterday i had to replace disks on one of my server.

there was 4 disks in raid 1

each 2 in raid1

i've removed the virtual disks from the bios setup.

after that i pulled out the 4 disks and replaced them with 2 normal drives [ 1 sata and 1 ssd if it matters .]

now when the system loads up i don't see any lights on the new disks and the server doesn't recognise it anywhere. not in logins / bios / system menu.

what could be the problem ? 

the raid controller is PERC H700

i would like to disable the raid completely and let the 2 new drives work alone without any raid.

Apperticapte your help

Can't be done with an H700. If you want to use the disks as standalone, you can either use a controller that supports non-RAID (like the H200) or configure each disk as a single-disk RAID 0.

You should see the drives in the CTRL-R utility. You will not see them in the BIOS Setup (F2) utility. If you don't see them, then either the disks are incompatible or you have them installed improperly (use the screw holes closest to the backplane, regardless of how they are labeled).

that's what i see on CTRL+R

does that mean that the disks is incomaptible? 

The disks are 1 SaS and 1 SSD . where can i check the compatible disks for that server?

Could mean that, or it could mean they aren't installed properly.

What make/model are the drives?
