No. You can only lose data. No hardware damage.

it will not cause bad sectors on the hdds ?

as long as it not access the drives, should be ok. But there always a small chance something might happened.

Highly unlikely with modern drives. Unless you were shaking the unit while turning it down

If you worry about losing data, make backup.
