Please remove the Perc controller and then try starting the server. See if it clears POST. If it does, then return the controller and see if the error returns. If it does then we will need to look at swapping out the controller and transferring the arrays over to it.
What is the controller installed?

In reference to Chris' reply to Hani.Ahmari, what is the Perc controller? I looked into the Power Edge 2950 Manual for its location, but could not locate it.
Hi Folks, I have the same issue as above. I'll need to swap the PERC Card? I have another 2950, ordered at the same time as the one giving me fits, could I swap the array to that systems or just replace the one on the troubled host ??
