timeless Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Hi Today the connection to my unraid server was gone. After a reboot everything seemed to work but when i checked the log there were constant errors. I'm running 6.2 on a Supermicro D2550. I tried to play a movie and it worked but there were occasional stutters. I stopped the array and the errors keep going, sometimes it says reason 61, other times reason 71. CPU problem? I tried google but not really getting any wiser. Hope someone can help me Quote Link to comment

timeless Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 no access anymore I hooked up a screen but it doesn't post. took out all the drives the ethernet connector blinks yellow on one side the fans work, the drives were making (normal) noises on the motherboard there is a blinking light just below the memory slots and a constant burning one on the bottom in the middle. took out the memory, now the blinking light below the slots is burning constantly anyone with a D2550 that can tell me something about those lights on the mobo? if it's a memory problem shouldn't it at least post? no matter what i try the screen says no signal edit: silly mistake: it's not a supermicro but an Asrock board C2550D4I Quote Link to comment

(The website one may be significantly larger than the one in the box!) They put that lights on that MB for a reason and their meaning should be explained in the manual. Or you could google for the meaning of the lights on that model of MB... Quote Link to comment
John_M Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Here's a link to the manual. According to pages 10 and 11, most of the LEDs (six of the eight) are fan failure indicators and are amber in colour. There are two green ones: number 7, located at the end of the PCIe slot indicates that standby power is ready; number 8, not far from the 3 volt lithium cell is labelled BMC heatbeat. So presumably 7 should be lit and 8 should flash. Quote Link to comment
timeless Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 Thanks guys. After some more research it seems I'm not the only one. Lots of Asrock C2550 and C2750 boards are dying because of the Watchdog feature. It's overwriting the BMC flash memory chip a lot until it dies. I found lots of people where the board died after 12 to 24 months. Asrock is aware of the problem and is going to fix it but until then better disable it asap. If you're in the US RMA is not that difficult, the rest of the world needs to contact Taiwan and getting them to asnwer is not that easy. So we'll see how the RMA process goes...
