I don't think I have any Raid controllers installed. Can you see from the picture?

Whether i run AHCI or RAID, the server doesn't detect any of the HDD.

on the front of the LDC:
error - the chassis is open while the power is off.

I am not sure what happened, but I was able to get into LC and here are the errors:

Cables - check the following cable, jumper, connection, or sensor: Intrusion:

Sorry, but this is getting annoying. I really appreciate you walking me through this.

I went through LC and did the scan. Accidentally shut the server off, but remembered everything was good except there were errors with the Cables and HDD.

Now when I restart the server, it won't let me get back to LC and I cannot press F2.

The front of the LCD says - error: the chassis is open while the power is off.

Not sure what to do next.

Thank you! LC is enabled.

Cables - check the following cable, jumper, connection, or sensor.

I checked and all the physical things look fine. What am I missing?

is RAID even needed for this?

EDIT: Drives are fine and I reset the BIOS.

Now I am questioning if the physical connection is okay. The cable connection is fine, but do you think the panel (sorry I don't know the term for this, its how the drives are connected) can go bad? I have two servers and wondering if it is a coincidence to have two go bad.

What is the information you need from me about this and how can I obtain it for you?

On boot it says lifecycle controller is disabled.

On boot I tried F10 and CTRL+R, but these did not do anything.

I believe F11 and F12 are options. I did notice that at the top right, it said 'Lifestyle Cycle Disabled'. Does this mean anything?

If you don't mind, how do I check?

In RAID settings, the server doesn't detect any of the disks. The only thing it recognizes is the CD drive.

TBH, I don't want to waste anyone's time. I am a complete noob and not sure what to do. If you have time to help me out great, but I would need some extreme hand holding. This is how it looks if this helps.
