Replacing Motherboard due to fault

[Kronos1979]

Hi all,

I have a server that I suspect has a faulty motherboard. It currently doesn’t power on, however the PSU is showing that it’s getting power and not showing any error lights on it.

 

I’ve still got some troubleshooting to do, but in the event that it is a motherboard fault, I’m wondering how unraid will deal with this?

 

Will I need to plug the HDDs back in the same order (I’m assuming that this is required for the array to start clean)?

 

any other issues that is going to cause me grief if I have to change motherboards? I’d likely change from MSI as it’s only 6mths old.

 

thanks

Unraid is largely hardware agnostic.  It should just be a case of plugging everything into the replacement motherboard and booting it.   Unraid does not care where drives are connected - it recognises them by their serial number.   The one thing that can cause some issues if you are using RAID controllers on one system and an HBA on the other so drives serial numbers are not reported in the same way.
