Fujitsu Server E200 Boot Problem

I rebooted my Fujitsu Primergy E200 server and upon bootup it gets to
the point where a message says, DAC 1100 BIOS Version X.XX and just
hangs here. It is supposed to spin the drives connected to the
internal removable drive bays. It spins up a drive inside the machine
but never does for the removable ones. I know the drives have power
because the power lights come on when the machine is powered up.

I have tried everything I can think of to get past this and now I'm
stuck. I don't get it, it worked before I rebooted, I didn't install
anything or make changes that would affect it. Please someone help.

Thanks in advance.

How are the drives connected? - cables on wrong way around? - jumpers
incorrect?

The 4 removable drives I have are connected to a Removable drive array
which is a part of some card which is attached to the SCSI card. I
don't know the Removable drive array very well (this is my first) and
from what I can gather, seems fine.

It's interesting in that it worked fine before I rebooted the machine
and I made no hardware or software changes before I did so.

Your help and ideas are appreciated.

Thanks.
