Well it finally froze up again. I had to force shut off with hold of the power button. System booted up this time without whiping the bios and loaded Unraid. I selected Safemode without plugins and with GUI as I did back last post on the 14th. syslog attached using method recommended for flash syslog

Will do thank you. I will report back

@JorgeBHello again, I'm back unfortunatly and could use your help or anyone who might understand what I'm missing in my system log writen by the syslog server recommended to use. The server froze up agaib but this time the bios was intact but I found that the Unradi Flash was not reading the same description as usual in the bios and also would not load unraid. I took out the usb flash drive and placed it into a win 10 machine which it wanted to fit it but at the time said no. I located I believe the system log you might be requesting and posted it here below. At this time the Unraid flash has not been placed into the server machine until I hear back to do so. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. syslog

Thank you @JorgeB for your help. Take care and I will rememer to use this next time and also check my fans for issues first.

Hello All, Well, we're running into a problem with one of my unraid servers. I have included the diagnostics report. Hoping that some of you could help me find a solution to my problem. My server can be turned on for hours to a few days and then all of a sudden it locks up no user interface. I go to look at the unit which has a keyboard and mouse connected to it and the keyboard has 3 blinking LEDs on the top indicating something wrong. It's a weird situation. I have a LSI 6Gbps SAS SATA P20 card and also a p400 video card for transcoding. It seems I have to unplug (not all of the time) the p400 to start the machine up and takes me to the BIOS not actually starting up unraid from the usb. I either load up one of my profiles or can tell the bios to start with the usb thumb drive and off it runs. I then have to power off the machine plug in my p400 in the machine boots up to unrade no problem. I have tried installing a new p400. I have also tried swapping out the SATA drive card. Both of these units don't seem to be causing the problem or are they?, but then again hopefully this diagnostics zip file will tell what's going on. When I try and do a shutdown using the power button after losing GUI because sometimes the keyboard is not blinking. It does try and go into a graceful shutdown. I have been known to leave it there for a few hours and I still come back and it still hasn't fully shut down. Any direction of good help Please let me know how to proceed. Thank you all for your time and reading this. Added May 7, 2023 I did follow the drections for monitoring the system option 1 and no errors during that. I found the problem to be a fan going bad which was causing the motherboard bios issue and loss of the setting. I will call this error closed at this time and will report back if it ever comes back. Thank you all for reading an your support.

This card does in fact work and after 3 weeks its been working just fine. No complaints. Found it on eBay being sold as what it is instead of what else it can do in another system and the price wasn't jacked up because the seller didn't think it was used in crypto. Have fun, And Thanks again @JorgeB

Good to know thank you. I found this in the online manual at HPE in case anyone else is looking to get this type of card. HP 727252-001 761879-001 727523-001 12GB SAS Expansion Board for DL380 Gen 9 or 10 Drive bay numbering: SAS expander Drive numbering through a SAS Expander is continuous. SAS expander port 1 always connects to port 1 of the controller. SAS expander port 2 always connects to port 2 of the controller. SAS expander port 3 = drive numbers 1-4. SAS expander port 4 = drive numbers 5-8. SAS expander port 5 = drive numbers 9-12. SAS expander port 6 = drive numbers 13-16. SAS expander port 7 = drive numbers 17-20. SAS expander port 8 = drive numbers 21-24. SAS expander port 9 = drive numbers 25-28. Common configuration examples: Maybe there could be other ways of connecting it but for me this way is my plan. I will close this thread probably in the next week once I have tested it to work for me as expected.

Thank you. I ordered it. My gut said it should work but best to ask for advice first. Now I need to locate the instruction on the plug in slots from the LSI as pictures I've seen don't show them and olny ports 1 thru 9

Hello, I have a Lenovo 9240-8i with LSI 9210-8i FW 6Gbps SAS HBA P20 IT Mode ZFS for my unRAID system and I'm wondering if this card HP 727252-001 761879-001 727523-001 12GB SAS Expansion Board for DL380 Gen 9 will work with this card listed by using the proper SAS cables Mini SAS to Mini SAS Cable (Mini-SAS to Mini-SAS Cable) 1.6 Feet, 0.5m? As I have a 24 bay server case now and would like to use this card for it. Thank you for your help and time,

I did a screen capture here of the GUI frozen on my Network PC as I moniored the Server as it did it's parity Check. As you can see it did finish. Also I took a picture of the Monitor of whats left. and Left the server on as the keyboard would not type and the power button would not create the Diagnostic's file I needed. I am including one that was captured just after turning the server on. So at the moment I guess the only thing I can do is shut if off by holding the power button. I will wait for your advice.\Thank you r2d2-diagnostics-20190629-1428.zip

Thank you Johnnis.black I will start that right away and post back in a few days. Okay Started it in safe mode with no plugins and dockers off Parity Check is running. I assume I let that run and try to finish? Please advise. Thank you again.

So I ran and I'm still running MemTest but thankfully no errors as simple as that could be I'm still stuck. Anything else I need to be looking at?

Hello All, I'm kind of at a loss here. Please help if you are able to offer any possible fix for my server. Thank you I have 2 logs I have to hopefully show whats going on inside my server from today. I have included monitor screen shots of what was on the screen when I walked to it and then having to press the power button on the tower to force a shut down which never came to be only did what is displayed on the screen. The log ending in 2226 I believe to be the log I created just after turning the server back on and saving it. Thank you for your time and help, C r2d2-diagnostics-20190626-2226.zip r2d2-diagnostics-20190626-1340.zip

Thank you very much Binhex That fixed them up. GUI is back.

I think I cleared it out correctly. I hope so Thank you
