Probably wrong section ...

Can you see them in the bios?

Yup. Not highly technical. You are trying to test drives attached to a true RAID controller. The RAID controller typically masks the RAW disks from the server except via a specialized access like the Dell Diagnostics Tools uses. Otherwise the disks are inaccessible. It entirely possible for you to attach 24 disks to the RAID controller and not map anything, and have the BIOS not see any disks. Once you do map the disks, they show up as RAID managed volumes even if you map 1 disk to 1 LUN.

Hmm, so what do you suggest to test:

3.5" SAS drives in dell trays
2.5" SAS drives in dell trays

Obviously I have the wrong setup (been doing this for IBM 2.5", 3.5" and SCSI and just running diagnostics)

I'm learning quite a bit by just fooling around with these. Thanks again!
