Dell Poweredge 2400 Server

[DJLunacy]

I have a Dell Power edge 2400 server that i am trying to get up and running.

After going through the startup process and detecting SCSI drives and all that it says

Strike F1 To Retry boot. The General Fault LED light is on the front of the server.

Other then that I have no indication of what is going on or what the problem is.

If anybody knows how to disable that and get it to finish booting i would be most appreciative.

Watch the BIOS and when you see it get to the PERC array portion, press ctrl+a or ctrl+m or whatever the key combo is and check your raid array to make sure it is setup and online.

If it is a PE 2400, most likely it has an Adaptec SCSI Raid controller.
(either an 7890 Ultra2/LVD or 7880 Ultra/Wide onboard)

Try Pressing <CTRL><A> after the BIOS post.
