January 10, 20242 yr I upgraded a 2TB drive to an 8TB drive and the server will no longer boot up. I tried my back up USB drive and it did not work either. I removed the 8TB new drive and still the server will not boot. Looking at the flashing network lights it does not look normal to me, the are flashing but very slowly not like normal. Any thoughts would be great.
January 10, 20242 yr Author A little more looking and it seems like the server is not loading the network driver(s). I have a static IP set for the server but if I look at my router the Unraid does not show up but the Admin for the SuperMicro board does so that tells me the network port is working but the Unraid is not using it
January 17, 20242 yr Author Solution Okay, got it. Turns out that the battery on the motherboard died, what timing. And because it died BIOS was erased and it was not set to boot from the USB. Got the rebuild going now, thanks everyone.
