[SOLVED] 6.5.3 Upgraded to Gen8 Microserver all bay HDDs missing

[Hitcher]

Just upgrading from an HP N40L to a Gen8 microserver. Swapped everything over to the Gen8 but when I boot all 4 bay HDDs are listed as missing. The boot and cache devices are fine. I've tried Goggling but nothing really helps.

 

Attached the diagnostics.zip.

 

Thanks.

Check if disks are well seated and powering on, no disks are being detected by the server, it's not an Unraid problem.

I figured it probably wasn't any fault of Unraid. They're in as far as the bay will allow. How would I check they're powered?

 

Thanks.

Check the connections, you don't need to boot Unraid, just check the bios, if no disks are detected there there's still problem.

Damn, now to borrow a monitor from somewhere. Cheers.

I've moved everything back to my N40L for the time being until I get hold of a monitor but can I stick a spare HDD in a bay and boot to BIOS without anything else installed?

[JorgeB]

Yep.

[Hitcher]

OK I've got the boot menu that looks like the pic below but where am I meant to find out if the HDD is detected?

 

[Hitcher]

After a good look around inside I found the power cable for 4 drives was disconnected from the motherboard!

 

Swapping everything back again after spotting the spare drive appear when booting.

 

EDIT: All good now - sorry for the noise.
