I have a PE 2600, Server 2003, RAID 5, 6 discs. 2 scsi cards. I removed ONE SCSI card to mount it on a different server, only to find out that the card did not work. I went to replace the card back in the 2600 after a few days. I did not recall which port the scsi cable plugged into and which card, and when i booted up, the machine was not able to see the drives, NO green lights on the front. There are 2 ports on each card. I then moved around the scsi cable to each port and rebooted until I was able to get to a point where my PERC BIOS utility gave me the best results. It now states on channel 0- all ID's FAIL, and on channel 1- READY. It is beeping continuously. I need help getting this back online. Data is secure, so it is not a priority to recover the data. Actually the RAID 5 was configured all on one array, and i would like to have one virtual drive for the OS and one for data. Looking for a good configuration for use as a file share, print and application server. Thanks in advance.

The alarm is due to the original array being failed, once the array is deleted the alarm should cease.

Thanks. Is the beep I am receiving indicative of any hardware configuration or scsi cabling issue? The server was working fine prior to unplugging the scsi card. Thanks again.
