May 23, 20179 yr Hi everyone, I recently found out about unRaid, and look forward in using it. Originally I used debian wheezy, now I feel it's a lot easier to setup. Currently I have a problem with my server, using asrock c2750d4i as motherboard. Up until a few days ago, my server keeps restarting every day. Tried to tail it but I can't find the culprit (posting it just incase). Now, I can't even boot to POST. I tried removing everything except 1 RAM and MOBO. The PSU fan spins a little then stop, spins a little then stop, kept doing it and never got to beep POST. Now I'm wondering if its the motherboard that is dead. If I change my motherboard, is it possible for me to retain the data that I have? Or I have to setup as new? Thanks! FCPsyslog_tail.txt mynas-diagnostics-20170519-2352.zip
May 23, 20179 yr Sounds like the motherboard has indeed failed. Maybe capacitor issue. Could possibly be PSU, but normally a PSU will just fail, not have any signs of life. The good news is that after replacing a motherboard, the server should boot and work fine. The way unRaid works, the Linux OS is reinstalled into a RAM disk with each boot. It automatically configures itself to the hardware it boots from. Good luck with your repair and recovery!
May 23, 20179 yr Author Ouch that sucks, but I'm wondering why I can enter the MegaRac SP which resides in different DHCP. EDIT: Nevermind, I can't access it now.. stuck at logging in page.. Anyway, any suggestion which motherboard and CPU is nice for Nextcloud and Plex? Edited May 23, 20179 yr by sevenz
May 23, 20179 yr I am re-reading your PSU symptoms. I would at least confirm that the PSU is not the problem. Normally with a PSU problem, it just dies. But normally with a motherboard problem the PSU fan runs (or it never comes on at all). If it is going on and off and on and off it could be that it is the source of the problem. There are inexpensive PSU testers. Or you could buy a new one and return it if it does not solve the problem.
May 23, 20179 yr Author I will try with another PSU tomorrow, I have one lying around at work. At the moment I can enter this dashboard server. If you take a look, what is this BAT blue piechart means? I tried to google but I can't seem to get the meaning of BAT.
May 29, 20179 yr Curious if the PSU resolved the issue. I do not know what that blue "BAT" slice of the pie chart is trying to tell.
May 29, 20179 yr On the "server health" tab you can look at the event log, and probably figure out what "BAT" refers to. Edited May 29, 20179 yr by cpshoemake
