raid - Dell PowerEdge 1950 Drive Bay not showing in SAS Configuration Utility

We have a Dell PowerEdge 1950 in RAID 1. Recently, the drive in Bay 0 began rapidly blinking green (I'm guessing twice per second, indicating "identifying drive").



When I open the SAS Configuration Utility and look at the SAS topology, it only shows Bay 1--Bay 0 doesn't even show up. When I replace the drive with a new one (we had to swap out the drive in Bay 1 last month with the exact model/firmware, so I know these new drives are proper), Bay 0 still does not show up. Refresh does nothing. Do we have a problem with the SAS controller?



Any guidance is much appreciated.
