NO HARD DISK FOUND DELL POWER EDGE 2950 - Dell PowerEdge 1600SC Server

sounds like a faulty memory chip in dimm 1 position

Ask a locksmith. There is no other way.

Hello,

You may have a damaged hard drive and it needs to be replaced. If the system is still under warranty, Dell will replace the drive free, you just need to go online, supply your systems tag number and follow the instructions from there. If you have just the one drive, you will need to restore the information froma a backup. If you have a RAID set up, once the hard drive is reinstalled, the RAID will sync the drive to the others.

Good Luck

Are the Drives SCSI, Sata or IDE?

Make sure the controllers are enabled on the system BIOS

(most likely) If your server has any hardware raid devices you may need to locate and configure the linux drivers for that, instruction should be included for linux config.]

What RAID controller are you using? Also, you must first configure RAID in CTRL-C (SAS 5/6) or CTRL-R (PERC 5/6) before even loading the driver will help.

You have to "FDisk" or "Partition" the Drive before Windows will see it.

XP - Goto: Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Computer Management | Disk Management
Vista/Win7 - Goto: Control Panel | System and Security | Administrative Tools | Computer Management | Disk Management
You will see hopefully both Drives... Highlight the New One... Create a New Partion by Right Clicking or use the Pull Downs. It will ask size etc... use the defaults.
Next Format the Drive - Select the Drive again...Right Click Format using Quick Format to save time and you should be set.

Probably your power supply ... try reseating power connectors. If not, then replacement is in order.

This points out to a problem with one of your hard drives. Run CHKDSK on all drives you have, & if any problems are detected on any drive, run CHKDSK /F on that drive.

Hi,
check if the drive is showing in the bios of the server,
shut down the server, take out the power cable, press and hold the power button so as to realease flea power, open the server, and reseat the data cable at both ends and if there is another power cable available in the server swap it with the existing cable plugged into the scsi drive.

and now try to start your server.
