First order of business is to _not_ send it as a BMP.  Use PNG instead,
and post the URL and not the actual file:

Second order of business:

"Unexpected sense code" on a PD (Physical Disk) suggests that one of
your disks is bad / becoming bad.  Check the enclosure -- likely it is
flashing.

Install MegaCli from ports, if you can. You can always reboot and use
the BIOS menu to check the event log.

If its not a bad disk, then something bizarre is happening.   We'll want
to know what firmware revision you're running on the controller, and on
the disks (Dell disk firmware updates run from DOS)
