<div>Help...I have problems !</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1: The server arrived and I looked it over, and it seemed
OK, except:<br>
...both the 2 HDD-Caddies didn't seem to be pushed all the way
into their server slots.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>...I found that each drive-caddy was being held slightly
forward of their fully home position, by little metal tabs
that were locating in the grove on the right-hand-side of each
drive-caddy.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2: These tabs are each held in position on the face of the
server, by 2 tork-screws, so to release the tabs: I removed
the screws, and slid the HDD-Caddies out of their slots.<br>
I checked them over, and they looked ok, so I pushed them all
the way into their slots.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>3: I installed the CD-Rom-drive, without any problem.<br>
...(this involved removing the large top cover, so I also
looked around inside to see if there was anything obviously
loose, and all seemed ok)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>4: I connected a power lead to PSU1, + a monitor, and
keyboard.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>5: I plugged in: And the sound of the (4) fans could be
heard.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>6: I switched on the server: And it sounded like Concord
taking off, as all 4 fans seemed to be running at maximum
speed !</div>
<div> </div>
<div>7: Dells OS booted up, and I pressed F2 to display the
'Main System Set-up Program Screen'</div>
<div> </div>
<div>8: I clicked enter, in the menu, at: Boot Sequence</div>
<div> </div>
<div>...the 1st item listed was the: Floppy disk drive<br>
...the 2nd item listed was the: CD-Rom drive (ie the new
drive I'd just installed)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>...so I changed this around so that the 1st item listed was
the now the: CD-Rom drive</div>
<div> </div>
<div>...(No HDD's were listed here !)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>9: Now according to the Dell-guide that I have, the next
item listed in the menu should be: HDD Sequence<br>
...but this was not listed, and it isn't listed anywhere else
in this menu.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>10: I inserted the BlueOnyx install disk: 64-bit install:
BlueOnyx-5108R-CentOS-6.3<br>
...and exited the Dell-Set-up-Screen.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>11: System rebooted and started to run BlueOnyx, and a
light-blue screen appeared, completely blank except for some
very small navigation-text at the very top & bottom of the
screen.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>...I did what it said to go to the next screen, can't
remember exactly what.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>12: New screen appeared, with a small box in the centre,
asking me if I wanted to continue with install, or exit.<br>
...I clicked: install</div>
<div> </div>
<div>13: New box said: No HDD detected.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>14: I exited install and switched off server.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>15: Throughout: </div>
<div>a: The green power light was on, and...</div>
<div>b: The 'amber system status indicator' (to the left of the
right-hand HDD) was flashing.</div>
<div>c: And both continued to flash when the server was powered
down.</div>
<div> </div>
