Faulty hard disk drive
Check for a faulty hard disk drive.
Reboot the system. At the Serial ATA AHCI BIOS
screen on the monitor, wait for the Port-XX displays to
appear and press the
Pause/Break
key. If a hard disk
drive description appears next to the Port-01, Port-02,
and Port-03 entries, all three hard disk drives are good.
If “No device detected” appears next to:
•
Port-01, the 500GB hard disk drive in the top slot of
the chassis may be faulty.
•
Port-02, the 2TB hard disk drive in the middle slot
may be faulty.
•
Port-03, the 2TB hard disk drive in the bottom slot
may be faulty.
Replace the SATA data cable to the suspected faulty
drive. If the problem persists, replace the faulty drive.
