Hi,
Welcome to Fixya
The problem is with the raid controller . Either the controller is faulty or it is due to dust or happen some shake. To rectify this issue do the following
1: Switch off the server 2: Remove the Raid controller from the server and clean the dust . ( Please Don't touch with hand just blow air ) 3: Clean the Controller slot 4: Refix the Controller and power on the server . 5: Check whether the controller is booting or not . 6: If you gets same problem then replace the controller

Thanks

FATAL ERROR: controller kernel self test failed
<< press any key to continue>>

Welcome to fixya

Open the server and take out the raid controller . Now clean the slot as well as the raid controller . Now replug the raid controller check if it works

If you get same error now , then its time to replace the raid controller

Thanks

Replace the flat cable on the motherboard of SAS1 to SAS2. Resolved.

Have you checked the IBM website for BIOS and any firmware to download and update for the controller? It can get to be a maze with server cards.

after bios screen my ibm x3400 series controller monitor failed what should i do
