gyroplane Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Hoping someone can help with this SOON - or I am going to be in trouble. Running Pro 4.0 on version 1.0 hardware (D865DLCLK) I was going to upgrade one of my hard drives. I stopped the array using the web interface, and used the new "shutdown gracefully" button. Went downstairs to the server - case was quiet, seemed to power down. I inplugged the old hard drive, plugged in the new hard drive and switched the power supply on - fans run for 1 second then stop (case and CPU fans). Green light on the Mobo stays on. Unplugged my unRAID usb drive - no change. Ultimately unplugged all drives and removed the PCI cards, still no joy. Unplugged case fans - same thing. Removed mobo to check for a screw trapped underneath and shorting - looks clean. Currently I have power supply connected to motherboard only, with only CPU and RAM installed. Turn power on, and it runs for 1 second then seems to shut itself down. In desparation, I unplugged the 4-pin ATX12V power connector (not advised, I know) and the fans all stay on - but system won't boot. Tried a different power supply, and get the same result - so it looks like something on the Mobo is screwed up? Any ideas? Could this be related to the "shut down gracefully" button in version 4 (doubt it, but it is the first time I have ever used this feature)? I need to access my data in the morning.

gyroplane Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 OK, I feel dumb. Relieved, but dumb. I don't know if this is related to the way it was powered down, or something else entirely, but I just had to hit the front power switch. In the past, I always killed power at the power supply switch in back after stopping the array. Turning the power supply switch back on, brought it back to life - never had to mess with the front panel switch, so I kind of forgot it was even there. I figured it was something simple. -Sky Link to comment
Billped Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Glad you figured it out. At least you weren't inquiring about the "710" cap for your car. Bill Link to comment
