details in racktable hint to a chassis with 8x3.5" slots and the OS currently uses 3

I put one 2TB+1TB into qamaster. Might have broken some RAID . If you see problems feel free to trigger a reboot or power cycle. Won't have time today anymore myself

qamaster has 12 (!) physical storage devices. In the OS we have a 600GB "sda" and 4TB "sdb" but there does not seem to be a physical 4TB device so I assume we have a hardware RAID0 or RAID5 or similar. Physically attached display+keyboard. Booting without devices to understand which are connected to an internal storage controller or how this works. "Entering setup…" stays there for long, since 12:39Z until 12:41Z so don't be surprised that it takes 3m to reach the BIOS. BIOS SATA Configuration says it has 6 ports, port 0 through 5 with AHCI mode and hot plug enabled for all. Then there is a page "SCU Configuration" where "Storage Controller Unit" was disabled. Now enabled. Port 0 through 7, all "not present". Also enabled "EMS Console Redirection", "Out-of-Band Mgmt Port COM2/SOL". Maybe can see more over IPMI. On IPMI SOL I could see the BIOS screen but maybe we had that already in before. I plugged in storage slot 0, see blue led, but both SATA and SCU port 0 show "not present". Also plugged in port 11, see red led. "not present". Restarting system and entering setup again. Still no slots show up. Exited setup and even after 5m of waiting the screen outside setup is just black and machine does not respond. I entered setup again and disabled the SKU controller again and rebooted (13:14Z), 1320Z not up. Disabled "EMS Console Redirection" now, 1323Z. Also machine beeps, like in #114893. The two new devices are currently not connected. Now it's priority to bring back the machine as-is. The two trays with the new disks I for now put in the storage cabinet. No luck to bring the machine back up so far.
