That would be logical if one of the hard disks is failing, and considering
that this person put the failing drive back into the system, that's what

Pressing F1 would start the machine up.

So we know now that it is indeed a hardware RAID. :-)

That sounds more like the error message you get from most BIOSes if you have
SMART enabled in the BIOS. No hardware RAID required for that.
