Connection Problems:
Always double check for loose cable connections or improperly seated disks
if you experience problems where a disk or volume does not appear in your
computer, or you recieve an error message stating a disk missing
when you have the drives configured as a RAID set.
1. Disconnect the data cables and reconnect each cable one at a time,
ensuring each connector is screwed in securely on your system.
2. Make sure the connector is properly secured on your HBA.
