Server stopped running

[jonF]

Hi

I'm a photographer. I'm not a computer guy. My nephew knew I needed a network storage vs my jbods and set up the unraid server for me and I'm figuring it out with all the amazing help on this forum. And loving it. Thanks!! 

I now have a physical issue that is probably beyond the scopes of this forum but ....

 

Overnight I was doing a large copy (8tb) and I woke up this morning and my server is not on. And the box won't power back up. I just replugged the cables into another power strip. Same power source. It powered on for a minuted and powered off again. Power source is fine. No switched fuses.  Also , no lights on the machine are on when it is plugged in. Except the plug for the ethernet cable. I don't remember what it was like before. 

If willing please help guide me into a solution to fix it.   Thanks. Or what I could do next. 

Also.... what if the machine is dead.  Can the disks be placed into another machine and all will be fine ?  

Thanks so much!!

Jon

PSU would be the first thing to swap.

Yes, assuming you're not using RAID controller(s).

Thanks. I'm pretty sure I'm not using anything RAID.  I'll have to check with my nephew.  If I'm not using raid cards How big a deal is it to get it started back up once I put the discs in a new enclosure?

sorry.. Forgot to choose "notify me"

If someone knows of a link or a thread about how to put all of the drives into a new enclosure I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Usually you just need to connect all the disks to the new server and boot with your existing flash drive.

Thanks!
