Lan offline after installing hba controller


Recommended Posts

I installed a Dell HBA flashed to IT mode. I had a lot of issues with it but it turned out that i had to mask off 2 smbus pins, B5 and B6. Once i did this i could boot and my drives are detected. However, now my lan won't start. I have an Intel network card in a pcie 1x slot that was working fine. Made no changes to that or its settings. Just installed the hba. When I'm at the ui it says port eth0 is down, check connection. I didn't even unplug anything to install the hba. And my array says "too many devices" which it didn't before. I'm in a trial still but had another week left at least. There are 7 drives in my array. It says parity is ok. Please help?

Post your diagnostics (Tools --> Diagnostics from GUI or 'diagnostics' typed from the command line).

 

What level of unRAID license did you buy (Basic, Plus or Pro)?  Do you have unassigned devices connected when you boot the server?
