February 11, 20179 yr Hey there gang! I just swapped my unRAID system over to new to me hardware, a dell t7600. With the new server I picked up a sun f40 off ebay to use as a cache drive http://www.ebay.com/itm/152365045389?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT This is basically just a 4x100GB SATA PCIe drive. unRAID found the drives no problem, and I migrated my cache data to the drive and everything was blazing fast. Except I'm having random total system crashes. If I start up a VM running off the cache it will crash within 30 minutes of starting. By crashes I mean the whole server powers off. If I start the array with my old cache drive (single standard 240GB ssd) everything runs flawlessly. So naturally I took a look at the Diagnostic file, and by my eyes the smart data for the sun f40 doesn't look good. However I would not consider myself very experience with unRAID so I was hoping for a larger and more experienced set of eyes to take a look, especially with all of my recent hardware changes. Attached is my Diagnostic zip Thanks all! plexserver-diagnostics-20170211-1247.zip
February 12, 20179 yr Author okay, so I physically removed the f40 from the server, and have still been experiencing the random full system shutdowns. Even without VMs running. Just over night the server crash and rebooted 3 times, with no array running. I am truly lost as to what is happening.
February 12, 20179 yr Power-offs tend to imply powersupply or overheating issues Random reboots can be caused by any hardware. Either way, its usually helpful to install Fix Common Problems, put it into troubleshooting mode and then post the generated files after the crash
February 12, 20179 yr It would be worth running Memtest from the boot menu if you haven't done already.
February 13, 20179 yr As squid noted, it could be caused by any hardware. Including your UPS. As part of your troubleshooting, check your batteries for swelling or overheating. After a couple of years your batteries might have worn out. Also your PSU loses efficiency over time. It might not be able to power your system anymore. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The zip logs fall on either side of that time. It would be worth running Memtest from the boot menu if you haven't done already. When I installed the new ram to the system I ran memtest for 14 hours no problems As squid noted, it could be caused by any hardware. Including your UPS. As part of your troubleshooting, check your batteries for swelling or overheating. After a couple of years your batteries might have worn out. Also your PSU loses efficiency over time. It might not be able to power your system anymore. I thought it might be the ups as well (despite it only being about 4 months old and 1500 VA). I bypassed the UPS running the server's power to a separate wall outlet from anything else (still same circuit) and issue still persists. The PSU is original to the system (circa 2013) and is under fair load (dual 95w xeons, 16 x4GB ddr3 ecc ram, amd 7950, quadro 4000, basic amd card for unraid, 4x 5TB seagate, and 1x SSD) but it is also a 1300 watts server 80 plus gold. So if it's not failing it should have more than enough power. If my log files can't help i'm thinking my next move is to pull all hardware hardware except for basics and check stability then.
