what of the wires from the dell h310, where should i connect that in the board. The above post?

Thats great. I go through it. Btw there are instructions where it involves that i ll have to reboot at stages of the process but how i reboot? like a command or through the power button? And where do i connect this pin in the motherboard (image)

Now it makes sense totally. Hope that i have ordered the right one. Fingers crossed for now.

Damn i have order for a cheap one though. Coz thats the only available option me at the moment. But what is that forward breakout thing in the first place. https://www.amazon.in/dp/B013G4EMH8/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_i_v0ViEb3KZ1XYW is the one i have ordered.

Am actually waiting for the SAS to SATA cable now. But meanwhile i can start configuring the Dell h310 into IT mode? It should work or shall i wait till the cables come so that i can connect and work with a live drive?

Guys sorry start all over, newbee here. So i have no idea about formatting the board into IT mode and i started the thread here : As per the only help i received, i should just remove my unraid pendrive and hard discs on the same server. Mount the dell h310 card then the cable sas to sata and the sata connects to a new hard drive. I ll have to run freedos so then once the setup is done as per the instructions. i ll have to connect the unraid os and drives back. My questions are that will i be losing the parity or anything i might be messing with? because am removing the unraid os and drive cables?

First things. so i have to detach the hard drives in my unraid first? Like remove that and pendrive? wont that affect the parity? Also can i do the IT mode flashing from different device? that should work?

Am getting my dell h310 tomorrow may i know how to do the set up to make it capable of attaching multiple drives? A step by step process ll help me a lot. Thanks in advance.

Tried with all the hardware adjustments, Doesnt seem to work. Could be the disc completely? Is it dead or dying ?

I am facing the similar issue on my unraid. Posting the diagnostics. tower-diagnostics-20191224-0714.zip

Hoo thanks guys. Yay solved it. May i know the reason why it would ve happened. So that i can avoid anything as such in future ?

This now. What do i do after this guys.

Done the check. This is what its showing.

Turned on the server today. Got this. Its a new hard disc mounted like 2 months back. Some immediate help is needed on this guys. The hard disc is physically running when i tried to sense in my hand, also the warmth while running is there too. Its just not there getting mounted. tower-diagnostics-20191209-1124.zip

Could it be the network switch? I suspect the second switch being the culprit.

Facing this issue from noon. WebUI is available but not anywhere in the windows explorer. tower-diagnostics-20181126-0118.zip tower-diagnostics-20181126-0118.zip

Changed to AHCI man. The machine turned ON . I could see the progress for sometime, it was rebuilding data when it was starting. Now the WebUI wont work. I need to restart the tower with command. May i know the basic commands ? For Shut down, Restart, Something like that ?

Okie man. Definitely ll check those.

Oh... okie then i shall stop it and change it to AHCI. From what i understood if it runs on IDE during built it may damage other disks too ?

Fine. I shall wait till the rebuild ends ?

You mean in the BIOS right. I am guessing it should be in AHCI or Legacy mode already. I ll make sure it goes that way. If the current build fails at some point.

Also can you gimme set of instructions that can help me assure that my network is secure ? Any tools ? How do i know that ?

Okie man. Got your point but my problem is that am not able to understand where the problem is exactly. I ve tried everything even the psu was replaced recently. And as per your guidance the rebuild process has been initiated. Fingers crossed. Meanwhile is it okay if i access the data in disks? Will it cause any problem. Am just gonna only copy files, no writes or modifications.

And again during rebuild if the system goes down with initial issue. Would that be a problem ? Coz i could expect that with my experience yesterday.
