QNAP ts-1635ax BIOS

[mayberts]

Hello you beautiful people,

 

I'm here to see if any of you have any insight or wisdom that will help me.

 

I have a QNAP ts-1635ax NAS and I would like to install unraid.  This unit does not have a HDMI port to I can't connect it to a monitor and get to the BOIS, but according to this I can get to the BIOS using the console interface.

 

I have the console cable connected and I can see the BIOS name and date when it boots up, but I am unable to press ctrl+f1 to change the BIOS as the keyboard isn't active to initial boot. 

 

I guess my main questions are

1. Can I get to the BIOS?
2. Can I "activate" the keyboard at boot?
3. Will unraid work on this device?

 

Thanks

That QNAP device will not be capable of running Unraid as it has an ARM based processor, while Unraid requires a x86 based one.

ah, well that end that project 🤣 time to look for new hardware that can support 12-16 disks

 

Thanks
