DWomack's post in Boots but no network? was marked as the answerThanks for your reply.
The enclosure only had one standoff installed and it couldn’t accept a screw. I printed out a full size template of the motherboard to make sure I got the right standoffs installed.
Since it is a server motherboard it has an RJ45 for ipmi. That worked. Then there are four RJ45 for lan. Sorry to say, but I had not plugged the lan back into the right one.
I complicated the process by resetting the BIOS to optimized. Then I had to mess with the boot options and finally getting it to boot EFI from the the USB flash.
So now it boots sans disks. I’ll shut it down again and reconnect all the drives. Things should come right back.
Hope this helps others.
