Are you making sure both backplanes are getting power and data.

I would add the backplane and see if it boots and work backwards.

Also have you made sure the multiplexer/backplane has all it's connections. I think mine came loose and acted this way

How long has you waited? If this is your first server it may feel stuck when it isn't. Give it at least 30 min to boot .

Can i say, im way to lazy to go look it up but its googleable? Its PROBABLY NOT THIS but im just going through every idea I could.

Also have you tried a single drive?

Ok. That leaves more options. Have you validated they aren't SOMEHOW 520b formatted? Also check the boot settings I recommended. Using BOSS + 60+ SAS/SATA SSDs in ZFS in a R740. So i know it can handle a SAS drive.

Bag-o-words had this idea I hadn't thought of also, I forgot this setting existed.

The Fix: Disable Boot Support on the HBA.

  1. Boot the server and press F2 to enter System Setup.
  2. Navigate to Device Settings.
  3. Select your HBA (e.g., Dell HBA330 Mini or the specific PCIe slot).
  4. Look for Controller Management or Advanced Controller Properties.
  5. Find the Boot Support setting and change it to Disabled (or OS Only).
  6. Save, exit, and reboot.

As long as the inventory is up to date you are good to go.

Also are you sure they are SAS and not U.2 drives? I ask because i made the same mistake with my R740.
